Overview

Services

I love finding ways to help my patients enjoy childhood to the fullest without being held back by health issues. I work closely with families to understand their concerns and come up with treatment plans that are both effective and in tune with what families believe will work best for them. Many of the conditions I treat are sensitive topics for both the child and the parents, so listening to each family and establishing an environment of trust and openness is essential. I want my patients to know they are my number one priority during the time we’re together. My goal is to replace their anxiety and distress with freedom and confidence so that every family walks out of the hospital in a better place than when they came in.

The doctor never told me that the dosage on her prescription was changing and I never noticed until I read the bottle when I got home from the pharmacy. It would have been nice to know before that so that she would have been getting the right dosage for several days beforehand

Hi. Everyone at the facility from the check-in clerk to the person that walked us back to the doctor and even the training doctor, the doctor that was learning, was very nice, very professional. I was very impressed. It was my first time at Children's. I'm a new mother and we were dealing with a pretty sensitive issue. So I was very happy to see friendly faces, talk to friendly and knowledgeable people. I didn't feel rushed. Everything was clean. I'm happy.

The front desk was fantastic, like always. It's our second time coming in and they are always very informative, assisted us with downloading the phone app to more easily access information for our child. We enjoyed our meeting with Dr. Ellison. It's very overwhelming to discuss surgery on a baby. He's very helpful and informative, drawing pictures so we understood the procedure. Still concerned the nervous about the procedure, but know that he's available, as well as give us resources if we have follow up questions or concerns.
