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.

I am not too sure how to begin this review, but when I compare my medical treatment with my doctors now, they are not comparable with Ellison’s treatment towards me as a young woman. I am now 40, but in my twenties she was my doctor. I recall getting many yeast infections and I could not understand why. I was not sexually active at that time. After a couple of visits over the issue she said to me that that’s what happens when you sleep with different partners. I stood quiet. I was not a confrontational person, but her comment was improper and unethical. I also recall another incident in which she performed a biopsy of my uterus because I had Pap smears that came back irregular. Years after my other gyn said to me that that was the equivalent of getting heart surgery because I complained of minor chest pain. He was alarmed. I recall her being ROUGH. Painful Pap smears. I recall her demeanor as dismissive with a superficial layer of care. I do wish I would have had the courage to speak

This is by far the WORST OBGYN I have EVER encountered in my 32 years of womanhood. First of all, this doctor is stuck in the 70s. The building alone is shady. Her facilities and methods are completely dated. Everything is paper and cash, whether it's records, forms, or billing. The rooms have cracked floors and beds, the windows and ceilings have water damage, and there were ants in the windowsill in my exam room (I believe it was room 2). I was charged 2 co-pays: once for my visit and onc

My primary physician referred me to Dr. Ellison and I'm so glad she did! She takes her time with you and she's attentive to your needs. Most importantly she listens to you and answers your questions. If you want a GYN/OBS doctor whose expertise/professionalism are excellent, this is the doctor for you. Her staff is very professional, respectful, well mannered, and courteous too. Thanks Dr. Ellison for providing excellent services in the Brooklyn community. God Bless you and your staff.
