About Dr. Ellis

I specialize in Cancer Care. My interest in healthcare began when I helped my parents care for my aging grandmother who lived with us while in high school. Cancer Care became my major interest when a friend was treated for leukemia during my college years. My patients can count on me to provide extraordinary care because I'm fully committed to my patients and meeting their needs.

My little something extra

I practice karate and yoga and have been an instructor in both.

Dr. Ellis is an angel on earth, and he has meant the world to me in my treatment, and my care, my health care. The staff, he and his staff are professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and the best around. I can't imagine having a different doctor to take care of me through the years with my cancer treatments. And I'm very thankful that I was guided to go to him.
