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.

It was great. We talked to his PA for a few minutes describing the issue and then got an x-ray. About 15 minutes later Dr. Ellington examined my daughter. His bedside manner is great!

Patient’s Daddy – Jun 17, 2021
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ellington?
Dr. Ellington is very compassionate about what he does and it shows. He took excellent care of my son before and after his surgery. He’s great at explaining things and will answer all of your questions. Appointments feel like you are the only patient there. We have to make a 3.5 hour drive to see him and it is worth it! I highly recommend him.

Was very kind and nice to my daughter and made her feel very comfortable while he was checking her movement. He engaged in a conversation with her and actually talked to her more than he did me! Would recommend to anyone. Office was great overall and were quick.
