I had neck surgery performed by Dr. Ellis on 9-14-23. I walked out of the hospital the next day with absolutely no pain in my neck or numbness in my arm, which were the symptoms prompted me to see him in the first place. Dr. Ellis and his staff were top notch every step of the way, from explaining the procedure that needed to be done to assisting me in scheduling all of tests that needed to be done by other doctors (I’m 76 and there were several). In short, if I ever need brain or spine surgery again, Dr. Ellis will be my first, and last, call.

I am a 70-year-old rancher that was referred to Dr Ellis by family Doctor in 2022. I had a high degree of pain in my L4 and L5 for about 8 months to the point I was losing feeling in my legs. The first time I met Dr Ellis I was extremely impressed by his humble demeaner, and caring attitude along with his jeans and boots. Dr Ellis examined me along with some tests to diagnose my problem. He then explained and showed me my problem in detail. I was most impressed with his statement: "Let's try some things to see if we can get you some relief. I can always do surgery, but I can't undo surgery." Three months later Dr Ellis did my surgery, and my pain relief was immediate. Five months later I am back to riding my horses and working cattle. Dr Ellis is so God gifted as a surgeon and I am so thankful as a patient of his. I got a little sad when he told me he was releasing me.

I absolutely love Dr. Ellis! He and his staff are outstanding! He is personable, kind and listens to what you have to say. I had to have ACDF surgery in May 2021 and five months later Brain Decompression for Chiari I Malformation. Each surgery was a success and I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Ellis was thorough in his evaluation and sent me for extensive outside testing before even considering surgery. I hands down without reservation recommend Dr. Ellis. He is Amazing!!!

Dr. Ellis was able to relieve my back pain without surgery,

I went to Dr. Ellis not having any idea that most of my neurological systems were stemming from Cervical Stenosis. Dr. Ellis was thorough and showed me the areas of concern. He clearly explained that the compression on my spinal nerve in my lower neck and upper back was the area of concern. Due to the location, he was not able to do the preferred anterior cervical fusion, so had to do the more invasive posterior cervical laminectomy. He clearly explained the procedure. I am so glad I had the surgery. I am able to walk without pain, and most of my other symptoms have dissipated. He was not demeaning with his expression of his knowledge. His PA was great as well, and his staff assisted me through my short term disability red tape until I was released to go back to work. I am so thankful that I was referred to Dr. Ellis and I encourage anyone who may need back or neck surgery, to request Dr. Thomas Ellis
