About George Ellis

I specialize in Ophthalmology. I became a healthcare provider because I love being able to help people when they have challenging medical issues. I enjoy being able to understand the problem not only scientifically but from the patient's perspective, develop a plan of action and then explain the entire process to the family and patient. My patients can count on me to provide extraordinary care because I pride myself on being able to put myself in the patient or family's shoes. To really explain things to them in ways they can understand, and give expert, reasoned, experienced care. My little something extra: I'm a devoted Saints and Pelicans fan, and love going to the games!
