      This is I think my third appointment with Dr. Ellison. I'm trying hard to like her as a doctor, but it's just not working for me. This time I felt she was in a big hurry. My understanding is that she is excellent at what she does, and I am not typically a complainer but she and I just see mine able to build a good rapport.I have a feeling that after my first visit with her, and I gave an honest review, if she somehow knew what I had said about her in the review. I do sincerely hope that that does not happen.

      I felt better after talking to the PA and Dr. Ellison. I am being monitored remotely and feel if there is a problem it will be dealt with immediately. Dr. Ellison is a great doctor.
