5.0 star star star star starDr. Ellis is a wonderful doctor and a kind human being. He is answers all of my questions no matter how ridiculous. I can't imagine there is a better doctor in this city or anywhere for that matter. He is the best.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Ellis is an outstanding surgeon both in and outside the operating room. From my first consultation, Dr. Ellis was focused on my goals and how best to achieve them. He took the time to understand my vision and explain the various options to make that a reality. He was transparent about what was possible and held an objective eye in regards to how shapes and lines are read by people as masculine or feminine. He made sure I took my time to decide and scheduled a second consult a few months later to think about options before committing to anything. The day of my surgery he took time to go over everything that would be done that day and make sure I felt well informed and comfortable with everything, and answered any questions I had. At my first follow up the next day he did the same. Each time I've met with him he has been kind, professional, knowledgeable, and personable, referencing things we have discussed in the past and making me feel like I am not simply one of many patients he sees in a day. He is also a master at his craft. The surgery went perfectly, and so far my recovery has as well. The stitches look fantastic and will be well hidden once they heal. He knows exactly what to do to achieve a desired look and does so with precision, care, and practiced skill.

5.0 star star star star starMy experience with Dr. Ellis and his team has been pleasant. The staff is courteous and professional. Dr. Ellis effectively communicates the details of the examinations and procedures. There are many professionals and doctors to choose from, but the simple fact that he and his team keeps me assured and informed is a prime reason that I would recommend his office.

5.0 star star star star starThis is the second surgery Dr Ellis has performed on me as a result of the [procedure]. While considered Plastic Surgery, my results all look natural and fit my body structure and are not drastic. He has a vision and a gift. He takes the time to tell me what to expect... he gives me concrete realistic expectations and offers guidance that I can implement

5.0 star star star star starDoctor Ellis was completely exceptional. I have seen a few doctors before him for multiple facial fractures and they didn't even give me the time of day. Dr. Ellis came in with a model of the human skull and actually took the time to teach and to explain to me, everything that happened and where; pointing to the model and explaining the break and healing process in extreme detail. 100 stars. Best treatment by a Doctor I have ever had.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
