We in our field are fortunate to treat patients of various degrees of complexity. It has been satisfying to care for patients of all ages and from all demographics, and I look forward to doing so. I have been fortunate to participate in healthcare delivery in the private sector as well as in the public domain, and I hope to continue in both of these roles for the reminder of my career. It is my goal that each patient and their family, with whom I interact, know that they have had my uncompromised care and concern, and that they leave our interaction in some way improved. ### Professional highlights American Medical Association, California Medical Association, San Mateo County Medical Association, American Academy of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery. ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, Dr. Ellison is interested in music, golf and fitness. ## Education and training **Medical school:** University of California Los Angeles **Internship:** Cedars-Sinai Medical Center **Residency:** University of California Los Angeles ## Board certifications -
