Pediatric Consultants PC

When our son was born a few years ago my wife and I didn’t know WHO we wanted as our long-​term pediatrician, but we knew what KIND of pediatrician we wanted. We wanted a doctor that had the feel of the long-​lost small town family doctor like you might think just walked off the set of the Andy Griffith Show or out of a Norman Rockwell painting. One that had enough concern when necessary, but wasn’t ordering dozens of tests and causing unnecessary stress for a sore throat or common cold!
While I can’t give my opinion on the other pediatricians in the practice, as we have never taken our son to anyone besides Dr. John Ellis, I can say that it would be safe to assume that anyone as great as Dr. Ellis would not associate himself with fellow practice members that are below par.
I know what you’re thinking, «Well, that’s great and all, but I want someone who is up-​to-​date on current medical knowledge and procedures, not someone «old fashioned.» Hold your horses there! Dr. Ellis not only has one of the best and most relaxed «bedside» manners of any physician I know (and I know a lot) but he is the former Chief of Pediatrics for Baptist Memorial and a former President of the Memphis & Mid-​South Pediatric Society. That is a resume that I can approve of!
In a day and age when it seems that a large percentage of newer and younger physicians have become complacent and just throw prescriptions down a patients throat and call it «doctoring», Dr. Ellis is a diamond in the rough. I just hope I’m not condemning myself to long wait times when you all rush to make appointments after reading this!
Be well!
*I am marking that the office is not «by appointment only» only due to the fact that they do have morning hours several days a week for walk-​in. You should, of course, call the office and check as to what days and times the walk-​in hours are offered.
