Dr Matthew Ellis

Dr. Ellis has been involved in some of the most advanced research in breast cancer. I got lucky and my surgeon Dr. Bonefas recommended him to me.
What a great guy. Let me tell you, the first time you go see your oncologist because you were diagnosed with breast cancer, you are not exactly thinking straight. This entire time in my life is one big flash and I cannot decipher one day from the other. It all blends.
Thankfully I have a wonderful husband (BTW we were not married a year when I received this diagnosis) and a magnificent medical team by my side.
Dr. Ellis is so down to earth. He tells you everything. I’m telling you it is a total blur. I am still going wow – breast cancer, huh? How about that! After he tells you the down low, he draws pictures and goes over it again. Each time I saw him, he did this.
The man knows, all doctors in this field know, that you are scared out of your mind because you are dealing with the fact you were told you have the C word.
I have no family history because I am adopted. It was unlikely that I needed chemo, but all of that was based on «opinion.» I cannot recall the name of the test, but it was at a genetic level and it was not the one that everyone kept saying oh yeah the blah blah blah. It took forever to get the results back. Name confusion since I was recently married and one place had me under my maiden name yada yada. The results came back – no chemo. He went the extra mile to make sure that I did not need this before sending me to the next step – radiation.
That’s when I went on my way to see Dr. Joyner.
If you need an oncologist because of breast cancer, this is your man. I could totally hang out with him too. Great personality. I kept my sense of humor throughout the entire ordeal. That’s just who I am. And my husband stood by my side. Plus my medical team, stellar.
