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 would recommend [...] or Dr Mike Ellison to anyone. I received exceptional care

Dr. Ellison creates a feeling of confidence that he Is there for you and your health care. That Is #1. You don't have that "I have 10 mins allocated on my schedule for you so we must move quickly" He makes you feel that you really matter no matter how long it takes. His kindness and sense of humor makes the office visit enjoyable. You also know that you have been heard and answers are given.

Dr Ellison has been taking care of my respiratory health for many years very successfully. Previously I had 2 near fatal asthma attacks because I didn't have the proper medication. He's saved my life!

I arrived with a fairly technical question. Dr. Ellison answered it politely, and clearly, unlike some doctors who seem to resent a patient wanting to dig a little deeper than usually occurs during a visit. [...].
