I had heard great things about him from a friend of my daughters who had an ablation that has gone perfectly. I found all the good things true about Dr. Ellis.

Dr. Christopher Ellis is at the top of my list. Highly respect his opinion and feel very comfortable with being in his care. When things are going well there simply is not much to discuss at times. I need him to listen to my heart, which he always has done.
