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.

He has a great doctor/patient manner. Honest, down to earth and answers all questions. Very professional and knowledgeable.

He is the best! I’m completely satisfied with my bilateral knee replacement that was done in 2001. Yesterday I had X-rays and my knees are still perfect! He has a compassionate bedside manner and takes a keen interest in his patients.

Dr. Ellingsen is a very friendly, highly knowledgeable, careful and skilled surgeon. I have mentioned him to several people I know with knee issues. My opinion of Dr. Ellingsen has not changed now that he no longer practices. His knowledge and recommendations can, in my opinion, be trusted.
