Ellis R Stephen, MD

I agree with the woman who gave the other 1 star review. This was the biggest rip off and the biggest hassle I’ve ever had with getting a renewal. I’ve had a license for 7 years. This guy wants me to make 3 visits — $ 150 the first visit, 3 months later, $ 135, then 3 months later more — over $ 100 but I can’t remember — by then I was already making mental plans to go elsewhere.
But it was not only the $. Office was sloppy, papers thumbtacked all over the walls, hanging off, unprofessional as was the dr. He took the money I gave and shoved it into his pocket during exam. He talked too fast, mumbling, hard to understand, seemed paranoid. I had to ask him to slow down & repeat.
Another big problem for me was when he told me that my MD would have to provide an RX — pad written — with a statement of one of my chronic illnesses. I don’t want my doctor having this in my file. Never happened before. There is too much skepticism and stigma still. Maybe in the future this will be possible, but then we won’t need special «weed» Drs., will we? — Basically– my advise is — go somewhere else. I will not be returning.

Dr. Ellis is a good man and a great doctor. Like another reviewer said, he is a little quirky but he cares about his patients and that’s most important to me. I got what I needed. All the best, to Dr. Ellis, always.

Dr Ellis is a quirky dude, but he knows his MJ laws and goes to bat for his patients. Also doesn’t give out BS scrips. Yes it’s pricey, but I’ll pay that for my peace of mind.

It’s ridiculous that the other two reviewers of Dr. Ellis are comparing him to the Rx mills that charge $ 50 per year. He’s one of the only doctors I’ve heard of that refuses to give a Rx without documentation of need. He recommends NOT getting medical cards because the law doesn’t have anything to do with cards. If a dispensary demands something other than a valid Rx, find another dispensary. Also, he recommends NOT going to dispensaries and growing your own. He also recommends only 6 plants as that is the law. If you want to go with a fly-​by-​night Rx mill, go for it. You’ll save money and you’ll probably never have a problem. If you want iron-​clad protection from prosecution now or in the future, get an Rx from Dr. Ellis and follow his recommendations to the letter. He’s quirky, eccentric, and his office is lost in space, but he’s also a true marijuana evangelist and a genius. And his Rx and advise likely saved my wife from dying from malnutrition due to nausea.

I am really happy to be the first review for this office. Let’s start with prices, $ 200 for a prescription if you look poor enough and $ 250 if you dress a little too nice. What do you get for your money? Supposed legal support which let me tell you, you will never need. Normally, your prescription should cost you about $ 40 and cover you for a year. Not with Dr. Ellis, your piece of paper which no one wants to accept only covers you for 6 months then you have to go through another wild visit with him to get it renewed. If you are a traveler good luck with that. You have to get another prescription from another doctor before he will even give you the first one. WORST experience ever trying to get medicine. No one wants to accept my prescription and I’m out $ 200.
