Dr is super cool. My mom and dad many years ago started with him. Thanks for your wonderful bedside manner and listening to her questions. Also... Office feels welcoming as always. Thanks. read more

Dr. Ellison is the kind of doctor everyone imagines as an ideal provider of health care. He is compassionate, thorough, and extremely knowledgable. He goes out of his way to care for his patients. I feel very grateful to know that I can count on him when I'm sick; and when I visit for a check-up I value his sense of humor and relatability. read more

Quite simply, Dr. Ellison is the most attentive, the most caring, and the most clearly communicative doctor I have consulted in my 86 years -- and that's a lot of doctors! read more

Dr. Ellison is the best doctor I have ever seen in my 77 years. His kindness is well documented, but he also knows when an illness requires his accessibility. I say this as his patient for over 20 years. When I was ill and really needed him, he was always there with a smile. Part of what makes him great is his ability to listen, which is truly exceptional. I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Ellison, a doctor I can confidently trust with my life! read more

Dr Ellison is an amazing doctor. He has been my pulmonologist for the past 25 years and I am so grateful to him for the care I have received. He is kind, extremely knowledgeable, and he makes himself very accessible to his patients. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pulmonologist!! read more

Dr Ellison is a very personable and caring doctor. He is very compassionate and takes the time to listen to you. He is rare in the fact that that he returns your call if you have a problem, within a couple of hours, personally. His staff is also very friendly and efficient. He is by far one of my favorite doctors. read more

If I could give this doctor a negative number, I would. I understand that he was unable to diagnose the problem, but I do not believe that a brawny dude equal to his size would have received the same degradation that I did. I came to him for help when I was out of bed only a week following multiple bouts of pneumonia over a short period of time, still in pain and very weak from all the coughing. He would not or could not answer the questions I submitted before my visit, nor would he even listen to my description of the crippling series of fevers with asthma attacks that had brought me to his office. Instead, this huge man ran me up and down the semi-public hallway yelling at me like a Marine sergeant to keep up with his strides, faster faster, even as I began to cry with the pain in my ribs. Another patient entered the hallway from the waiting room to see what all the commotion was about. With the waiting room and staff able to hear him yelling, this doctor told me that the symptoms were all in my head, that there's no pill for laziness. I'll add here that I'm a professional dancer who knows how to work hard, but even if his statement were true, I deserved privacy, respect, perhaps even a referral to a trainer better than the one I work with now -- NOT public humiliation. The treatment I received was just plain abusive, the opposite of what the "Dignity Health" practice promises. If patients with hard-to-diagnose cases want compassion and a curious mind in their doctor, do not come to Michael Ellison's office. read more

Michael Ellison is unhelpful, disrespectful, confrontational, rude, and uninterested in listening to patients or helping patients receive a diagnosis. You should see another doctor and avoid Ellison. If your test results don't make diagnosis easy Dr Ellison will blame the patient for faking symptoms rather than listening and trying to help. This doctor does not have a genuine desire to help his patients. I'm so disappointed and frustrated with this person. People go to doctors because they need help and are in a medical crisis, for a doctor to turn a patient away and tell them they are making up their experiences is psychotic, and no doctor should behave this way. Shame on you read more

If Yelp offered the option of giving 10 stars I would have lit up the board for Dr. Ellison. I am BEYOND thankful and have tremendous respect for him. read more

Dr Ellison is a modern day doctor with old fashioned values and care for his patients. He cares not just for the patient, but the person especially. I can't thank him enough for the above and beyond care he provided for a very special family friend!! Dr. Ellison.....you are the best and funny too!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! read more

Thank you Dr Ellison for saving my life. If not for your expertise I would be ashes today. You are the best. Love

Non-judgemental, hoping to help, very thoughtful (called his assistant TWICE to ask her to apologize to me for his being late). Not dismissive, friendly, inspires trust. I am very impressed and feel lucky to now have this specialist in my arena. read more
