Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Ultimate Care - Complete Confidence in Skill
His manner was compassionate, understanding and I felt respected and assured he had my best interests in mind. He has, in my mind, surrounded himself with top-notch medical staff, from admitting to recovery and discharge. One day later. Care was constant, efficient, and professional. I am still recovering from RP five days later at home, I feel I am well on my way to full recovery.He’s personally called to check on me, that’s service! He’s retiring shortly, a loss to the medical community and future patients that will miss benefitting from his expertise. I consider myself very fortunate to have been under his care!

Very compassionate , skilled surgeon
Dr Ellis did radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection for me. No issues , 1 day recovery was very skilled and compassionate . He practices medicine the way it was intended , caring for the patient, listening. He’s God sent . I also was very impressed with his entire Team from Jane to Autumn, Elizabeth . Post operative care at Univ of Washington medical Ctr was so much better than the care I received at Cleveland clinic, Ohio. I hope other hospitals can take away valuable patient care lessons from Dr. Ellis and UWMC, Seattle .

radical prostatectomy surgery
I received was receiving care from a Bellingham Urologist and my P.S.A. and Gleason score was rising and I was advised something needed to be done to stop or remove the cancer. I did a lot of research and found Dr. Ellis was highly recommended. One of the advantages of Dr. Ellis is he performs several R.P. a week or over 125+ per year in Seattle. The Urologist in Bellingham performs only several R.P. per month. The surgery was performed at U.W. Hospital the highest rated hospital in Wa. State. Three days after the surgery I was feeling a lot better. One month later I am doing very well and looking forward to a follow up P.S.A. test 6 weeks after surgery.
