    How was your appointment with Dr. Ellingsen?

    Feb 02, 2023
    I fell last summer and had some tears in my meniscus (knee). Even with P.T., got worse. Finally my insurance granted an MRI and I was scheduled for surgery about 4 weeks later. Dr. Ellingsen was my Dr. and surgeon. He is very professional yet kind. Explained everything very fully. Only 1 week post op now but huge difference. I would highly recommend Dr. Ellingsen for his expertise, skill and his care with patients.
