Overview

As a family medicine doctor, I provide care to all ages of patients across all spectrum of illnesses. This includes diabetes, high blood pressure, acute illnesses, and comprehensive wellness exams. I enjoy the diversity seen in family medicine, but most of all I enjoy the continuity and the forming of great relationships. I help patients navigate through the complex health care system while forming bonds that last forever so that patients receive the care they need. I am here to help patients make the right choices for themselves. When this happens, great relationships are formed and high quality, informative care is delivered. Outside of the office, I enjoy an occasional round of golf with my boys, visiting my girl who is in college, and traveling with my wife.

Dr. Ellis is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Xanthoma. His top areas of expertise are Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), Hypothyroidism, Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young, and Familial Hypertension.
