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!

    I waited almost 2.5 hrs. It's ok. I believe it you don't have to wait for a doctor or a seat in a restaurant you should heed that as a warning and leave. Dr Ellis is extremely smart.

    Dr. Ellis is the best doctor. He's been taking care of my baby since she was one years old, and we are just pleased and ecstatic to have him in our lives. Thank you.
