Patient Testimonials

William J., Patient

"Every time Dr. Ellefsen has done surgery (both knees) on me, I have regained part of my life back. He listens, pays attention, is highly intelligent, and figures out the problem directly to a solution. Hands down, his recovery times have been shorter than any other surgeon I've ever worked with. This is by far the best team for taking on challenging, complex, and multifaceted orthopedic issues that you find in the state."
