Dr. Ellis is always kind and makes me feel like he's truly interested in my life between appointments and my overall daily care for myself.

Dr. Ellis was a great listener who was willing to explain ideas and answer questions. It was very impressive that he welcomed input from my cardiac rehab nurse who accompanied me to the appointment.

I expressed concern about my pacemaker not providing any real changes to my shortness of breath or light headedness issues. But, I didn't see any real concern or recommendation for treating these issues.

My AF surgery of several years ago was the most successful of my surgeries over the years. I've been so happy with the results.
