    Dr. Ellsworth called me after all my lab results were in to explain some of the findings. I was surprised to get the call directly from him but very grateful.

    Dr. German Laurence Ellsworth needs to be more respectful and understanding towards his patients. I did not feel heard by him. I did not feel cared for by him. I did not feel he even cared for my well-being. I ended getting a second opinion because I felt so neglected in his care.
