I have EDS, and all of the other comorbidities. Dr. Ellman and Hugate are always very aware of proper treatments. Ellman is very funny and personable as well. I got a PAO and labral arthroscopy on my left hip in June. I do have an appointment to do my right hip as well. I was afraid to do the other side like many others are; however, due to the care provided by Ellman and Hugate, I trust them. My life is improving everyday thanks to them.

Doctor I trust
Dr. Ellman listens first, then asks questions. He looks you right in the eye when he speaks, offers options and you leave with a clear plan of action. One of the best physicians I’ve ever seen.

Your dollars are worth more than your well-being
Arrived early for appointment, per Panorama policy. Was left sitting in lobby for 30min past appt. time. Finally taken to exam room where i was left to wait another 1.5 hrs. Dr. Never arrived. No notes made on electronic chart that they missed the appointment. Will now have to notify insurance of incident. They dont return phone calls or emails.

100% Has my trust.
Dr Ellman is one of the best doctors I’ve ever met. He’s preformed two hip surgeries on me. He stays in close contact with you every step of the way. If you have any issues that arise, he sits and discusses everything, options and his opinions etc and you never feel rushed, or dismissed. My MRI showed everything was fine but saw my discomfort and he said “I’m not gonna just leave you like this”. So he went in, saw my labrum was a mess and fixed me up. I have a huge respect for Panorama Ortho as a whole, but Dr Ellman is just amazing. I can’t thank him enough for all he’s done for me.

Very informative
Meeting with a doctor knowing you’re going to have surgery is never fun. Meeting a doctor who makes you feel comfortable and you trust, makes the process so much easier. I am looking forward to having surgery knowing I’ll be taken care of.

Highest Recommendation for Dr. Ellman/Team
I came in from out of state specifically for Dr. Ellman. He was so helpful and accommodating, in addition to making the surgery seamless and as easy as it could be juggling all the logistics. I had a perfectly smooth recovery and knew what to expect as he provided detailed info up front in his surgical packet. Everything you could possibly need is in one place with plenty of time ahead to review and ask questions. He is a fantastic surgeon and so kind with his patients- never feels like he's rushing you. Cant say enough good things. The only regret I have was waiting as long as I did to get it fixed.

So smart and understanding
I have been seeing Dr. Ellman for about 15 years for a hip issue. He is so smart and has a very keen understanding of wanting to help people stay active despite injuries, accidents or changes while aging.

Great orthopedist
Dr. Ellman listened, analyzed the situation, and presented me with a balance risk benefit analysis of my options. Didn’t push me towards surgery rather gave me a great description of what I could potentially expect if I chose surgery or no surgery options like injections, doing nothing, etc. came highly recommended by my general orthopedist and exceeded expectations.

Dr. Ellman was great! He listened and explained my problem very well. It was a little difficult to schedule an appointment, but he does go between 3 other locations. I would highly recommend him.

Had a great visit with Dr. Ellman. He was seeing my daughter Chloe for a torn labrum. His bedside manner is amazing. Her Explained my daughters orthopedic problem in great detail, reviewed her imaging in detail and answered all our questions. Discussed several different ways to manage her problem including but not limited to Surgery. We felt very comfortable with his assessment and plan moving forward. Would recommend him highly. If and when my daughter needs surgery he is definitely our guy.

My mother snapped her Femur in 2 due to a cancer weakened area while visiting Colorado. Dr. Ellman performed the emergency surgical repair. This repair will make her leg stronger than before but it is the way he treats his patients and families that is truly exceptional. In a world of distance and digital interaction, Dr. Ellman is personal, throrough, present, and above all kind. He listens to hear the concerns of his patients and answers their questions. He makes himself available to their concerns. He is very talented surgically but his professionalism and interaction sets him apart.
