Dr. Ellis took time with me, he wasn’t rushed. He throughly explained my specific situation and acknowledged I was a huge part of the decision making. He also acknowledged deciding on a treatment plan is a lot to think about.

Dr. Ellis did SUCH an amazing job with my surgery. I had a PAO and was very nervous about this procedure. He took the time to sit down with me for an hour and explain everything, despite the fact that he had other patients. He answered all my questions and addressed my concerns as if I was a child of his own. Post-op I had to call him on a Sunday and he answered like it was nothing. I am now 6 weeks post-op and doing amazing. I would choose Dr. Ellis time and time again if I needed to. He is a great doctor and I have no regrets getting this surgery!!

I first met Dr. Ellis in 2015. As I am a RN, I have high expectations for my healthcare team. I immediately was impressed with Dr. Ellis. He sat down and answered all of my questions. He does not rush. He is compassionate and always works toward a positive outcome. In 2016, he performed an ant. approach hip replacement. I am preparing for a second surgery with him for a different problem. I know I am in great hands and once my rehab is completed will return to my active lifestyle.

I had hip reconstruction surgery by Dr Ellis in Feb 2017. My gluteus minimus muscle was 100% torn. Recovery has been on schedule and my hip is improving every day. The staff at Ortho One are very professional and caring.

AMENDMENT TO PREVIOUS COMMENT: The 2nd opinion doc I saw was COMPLETELY wrong and Dr. Ellis was completely right in is diagnosis of a torn labrum on MRI, despite a negative radiologist's report! My sincere apologies! ( A new MRI confirmed this). Although he is brilliant doctor, I would not follow up with him since he did not return my calls and because of the stories I mentioned of complications in other patients.

Dr Ellis is a lifesaver. He is the surgeon you want operating on you. He is very caring and an extremely good Dr. I had been seen by other doctors who knew I needed surgery, but they didn't think they possessed the skill to fix me. They recommended Dr Ellis...that should tell you all you need to know. Other doctors refer to his expertise.

Doctor Thomas Ellis saved my life when I was 28. He performed a Femoral Osteotomy on my right hip 14 years ago while @ OHSU in Portland, OR. I have had very minimal hip pain since the procedure and have resumed most every activity I want to do. Brilliant Doctor and caring individual. If I ever need an Orthopedic surgeon I'll be tracking Doctor Ellis down for sure.
