Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The whole appointment felt rushed and dismissive; I'm not sure how I can trust a doctor after expressing concerns for both my mental and physical health and feeling like only one was taken into consideration. "Nobody wants a colonoscopy" was not a great thing to say to someone who's used to 'no' never being respected, especially after I had already established my reluctance due to past trauma. I wasn't made aware of any alternatives, whether or not there were any at all. I didn't feel like there was any other choice, and I didn't understand why there wasn't one. It also really got my hopes up after the PA assured me that young people don't usually need colonoscopies and that I shouldn't have to worry, and it really crushed those hopes when my worst-case-scenario came to light. I'm glad a rectal examination wasn't insisted upon at the visit, but regardless, I've been a wreck ever since the consultation.

Well, when I first went in to see Dr. Ellison, everything seemed to be fine, but when i went to have my egd done I was told I have mild gerd so I called up to the facility and I spoke with the nurse and kept saying my symptoms may be due to something else. Well, since speaking with the nurse I have made an appointment with another doctor because my symptoms are not considered to be mild. I have severe abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, and fever. That's not mild at all.

I would recommend Dr. Ellison to any of my friends or family. I wish I would have found him 15 years earlier.

I went in for a procedure that is considered routine these days & should not have been a tremendous amount of out of pocket yet it ended up being around $4000 (that's after insurance) AND the procedure that I went in for twice wasn't done properly. I ended up seeing another doctor who confirmed it wasn't handled properly and has since performed the procedure.
