Patient verified via Press Ganey

Dr Ellis is an excellent doctor. She listens and has diagnosed and/or referred me out to a specialist for care or a complete diagnosis. Over the past few years this has happened not once but several times. This is the first doctor I have truly trusted in years. Before my first visit with her several years ago, I was constantly told I was healthy when a 9 year undiagnosed illness (per my surgeon) was waiting to be discovered. The entire front and back office staff Is excellent as well I am always treated promptly and with kindness

My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Ellis and are very happy with the care she gives us. She always listens carefully to our questions and concerns, answers them thoroughly and takes care of anything she can during our visits. We think we were fortunate to have found her when we moved to the area over four years ago and hope to continue under her care after Peace Health takes over.

Biography

Cara Ellis, MD, is a board-certified family medicine physician who emphasizes preventive care for all of her patients. Dr. Ellis earned her medical degree at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, and then completed her internship and residency at Oregon Health & Science University. She chose a career in medicine after volunteering with a family practitioner during college. “I fell in love with the idea of solving problems, helping people and getting to know patients over time.” Dr. Ellis believes that the most important thing she can do is, “listen to my patients, guide them through illness and health, and always act as their advocate.” She enjoys taking care of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. She also has a special interest in women’s health. While born in Glasgow, Scotland, Dr. Ellis spent most of her childhood in North Carolina. Away from the office, she enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter, watching movies, cooking spicy food and knitting.
