Dr. Ellman is great! He is very personable, caring and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend Dr. Ellman!
More than 1 year agoKendall A.Verified patient
Getting any surgical procedure can be a disconcerting experience. In fact, Dr. Ellman was my "second opinion" doctor. While my first doctor wanted to push some more involved surgeries on, Dr. Ellman was confident a regular labrum repair would do. During surgery, the tear was larger than expected, and extra work on my hip had to be done, and they handled it super well. Dr. Ellman and his team must have done an amazing job because I have had no complications in the midst of healing. Two weeks out and I am on minimal amount of over-the-counter painkillers. I would recommend Dr. Ellman to any of my friends!

More about Dr. Michael Ellman, MD
Dr. Mike Ellman is an integral part of the Denver sports medicine team at Panorama Orthopedic and Spine Center. Dr. Ellman, most recently with the Steadman Clinic in Vail, is a fellowship trained, board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip, knee and shoulder injuries.
He brings a unique experience in treating athletes of all ages. He has a special interest in hip arthroscopy and the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and hip labral tears. Young and middle-aged athletes, including those involved in running, hockey, soccer, volleyball, golf, and dancing, are at higher risk for developing pain associated with FAI and labral tears. In the past, many of these injuries went undiagnosed and untreated, but thanks to new techniques used by a select group of surgeons-including Dr. Ellman – physicians are able to successfully treat this injury.
“My goal is to deliver the highest-quality care to each and every patient that walks through my door, from weekend warriors to professional athletes,” he said. “I do my best to help patients achieve their goals, whatever they may be.”
Dr. Ellman completed his orthopaedic residency training at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. As a resident, he published over 50 peer-reviewed manuscripts and book chapters focused on cartilage biology, biochemical pathways involved in osteoarthritis, and was awarded the American Academy of Orthopaedics Baxter Healthcare Scholarship for his research in hip arthroscopy. He also participated in sports team coverage for the Chicago Bulls, Chicago White Sox, DePaul University’s men’s and women’s soccer teams, and several local high school football teams.

A very kind and understanding professional.
Good at making a patient feel comfortable, also good at
explaining what is going on with the operation and recovery.
More than 1 year agoDave R.Verified patient
Easygoing, direct and very professional. I chose his recommendation for the less invasive option which I appreciate.
I previously had five orthopedic surgeries in addition to several others and do whatever I can to avoid additional ones. My neck and lower back have severe degeneration from multiple injuries so any preventive and minimal treatments are appreciated.
My background includes over forty years practicing general dentistry so I really appreciate the consideration given to me by Dr. Ellman before he even knew of my prior professional experience.
September 27, 2017Richard W.Verified patient
Dr. Elman is always very friendly and will spend time with you to discuss any questions you may have. He is always very welcoming!
