I enjoy taking care of patients with tumors, both benign and malignant, in the head and neck, including skin cancer. I will shoot it to you straight, help guide you through the process, and make sure you leave with all your questions answered. I have an easy-breezy bedside manner and most patients leave with a smile on their faces. When I am not taking care of patients, you will find me in my research laboratory where I seek to improve clinical outcomes in the cancer patients I treat. For fun, I am an avid equestrian, and I try to ride 2-3 times a week. I love to cook and entertain family and friends. Dr. Watts is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Her top areas of expertise are Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Autonomic Neuropathy, Hyperventilation, Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC), and Laryngectomy.

I provide comprehensive care of ear, nose, and throat problems. I have particular interest in surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea, offering some of the most novel approaches to provide a permanent solution to sleep apnea. I also have interest in nasal and sinus problems. As a Fellow of the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy, I manage the allergy program (allergy drops), and I care for patients with some of the most chronic sinus diseases. I have now more than 25 years of experience caring for children and adult patients with routine issues (like ear infections, tonsil problems) and complex problems (like head and neck masses and cancers, thyroid problems). My clinic is next to Duke Raleigh Hospital, where we've built an excellent team of fellow otolaryngologists, nurses and medical assistants, front office staff, and therapists. We look forward to meeting you. Dr. Ellison is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. His top areas of expertise are Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP), Male Pattern Baldness, Sinusitis, Infant Hearing Loss, and Septoplasty.
