Patients appreciate
Dr. Jon Ellis receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise his exceptional communication skills and compassionate bedside manner. Patients repeatedly highlight that he takes time to listen carefully to their concerns, explains diagnoses and treatment options in clear, understandable language, and never rushes appointments. His thorough approach to patient care is frequently mentioned, with many noting his willingness to answer all questions and ensure patients feel confident about their treatment plans. Patients describe him as kind, caring, professional, and genuinely invested in their wellbeing. His surgical skills are highly regarded, with numerous patients reporting successful outcomes and expressing confidence in his expertise. Several reviews mention his Christian faith as meaningful to them, and many patients note they have been seeing him for years or have recommended him to family and friends. His practice of providing personal follow-up, including giving patients his cell phone number and making post-operative calls, is particularly appreciated.
Patients also share
The reviews reveal very few areas for improvement, with most ratings being 5 stars and minimal criticism. One patient gave a lower rating because Dr. Ellis suggested referring them to another orthopedic specialist for a procedure, though this appears to reflect appropriate medical judgment rather than a service deficiency. Another patient noted surprise that Dr. Ellis did not pull up imaging on screen during the consultation to visually show what he was describing, though they still appreciated his detailed verbal explanation. A couple of reviews are brief without specific feedback. These minor observations represent isolated comments rather than recurring themes of concern.
