Dr Ellis seems to be a very knowledgeble Dr. I was somewhat disappointed that he will be unable to help my left hand as that is seriously arthritic but he should be able to help the trigger finger that I have in my right hand. He was very kind and professional.

He is an excellent doctor. He takes time to explain every detail in a very understandable way and later, he records what he told you using his medical terminology. I really recommend him.
