Patient Testimonials

Dr. Ellis did not try to push surgery like some docs would. He gave me a shot of cortisone and after a couple of weeks it reduced my pain. He is personable, knowledgable, and efficient. I will go back when needed in the future.

Thank you for giving me a pain free knee joint replacement and for improving my quality of life!  From the day after surgery, my joint pain has disappeared.  During my 2 night's stay in the hospital, the nurses kept asking my pain level, as high as I got was "2" on a scale of 1 to 10.  Two days post-op, I switched from crutches to a cane, and in 5 days I walked 2 miles on Cottonwood Beach, again, pain free.  I was amazed!

In two short months, I was hiking Hamilton and Dog Moutain in the Columbia Gorge.  Last month my wife and I summited South Sister.  On September 15th, we completed Mt. Hood's Timberline Trail in a four day backpack circuit.  We climbed from 5600 feet elevation, gaining the west Elliott moraine at 7300 feet, descending to a 2 mile traverse of Elliott Glacier, and then rejoing the Timberline Trail.  Our 4 day adventure took us over 45 miles of terrain with a total elevation gain and loss of 20,000 vertical feet.  We have plans for climbing Mt. Hood this winter and will be cross country skiing all around the Cascade Range as well.

Thank you again for you and your team's fine job.

On 10/10/2014 I awoke with bad left arm pain, it continued to get worse over the next week. I started visiting my GP and each time came away with a different or no diagnosis. I was issued weak pain killers each time. It got to the point where I felt the doctors thought I was just seeking drugs for recreation and making up the pain which made it even more depressing. My director at work, seeing the state I was in, told me her husband had great success at Rebound and I should just walk in and ask to be treated which I did. My very first Doctor was Dr. Jacobs, who was wonderful. He had a good idea what I had but didn't have the imaging yet, he administered a cortisol shot deep into the arm and for the first time in weeks I finally had some relief. My next appointment was Dr. Gambee who diagnosed me initially from just seeing my arm on top of my head! This evidently is a strong indication of a herniated disk pressing on the arm nerve leaving the neck, which was later confirmed by MRI. Then I was handed off to Dr. Le for surgery, he as the preceding two was excellent. He described the two methods he can do to fix it listing the pros and cons of each. I picked one and had the surgery about a week later. From the moment I awoke I knew it was fixed I had zero pain in my arm FINALLY after two months! These Doctors of Rebound literally gave me my life back, thank you so much god bless. Every single staff member was professional and courteous from the front desk to the Xray technician ALL of them were exceedingly polite and kind, I would not hesitate to recommend or use them again myself.

We are so happy to see Doctor Ellis' name on the 2015 Portland's Top Docs list!  Dr. Ellis did my husband's left knee replacement last year and will be doing the right knee next week.  He is an excellent surgeon and a genuinely wonderful person.  He always answers your questions thoroughly and makes you feel as if you are in good hands.  Congratulations Dr. Ellis on this outstanding achievement!

I went to Dr. Shanno for a second opinion after being told by a well reviewed Portland neurosurgeon that I needed disc replacement surgery immediately. Dr. Shanno advised against surgery and suggested that the probability would be that it would heal on it's own over the next several months to a year. Within two months I was pain free and within one year I regained my strength. All is well and I am SO HAPPY to not have had unnecessary surgery. Thank you Dr. Shanno!!!

I tore my ACL on my right knee and had my ACL replaced in January of 2013. Dr. Ellis performed the surgery on my knee and did a wonderful job. After about 10 months of recovery I returned to play ultimate Frisbee. Thank you again!

On Christmas Day 2013, I was doing dishes. Put the LAST dish away and it shattered in my hand! Long story short, I cut my thumb deeply. Ended up severing the nerve! We don't realize who much we USE that thumb until we CAN'T! Pressure, feeling...gone.

Thanks to Dr. Jacobs and his fine skills, sewed my nerves back together! (didn't know you could do that!?) It took several months for growth and feeling to begin coming back, but I now have feeling back in my thumb, I have pressure sensitivity and the most important...I can FUNCTION! It's not perfect, but at least I can button my pants, pick up a cup, tell if it is being burned by something HOT, etc. Not to mention, I'm a pianist, biker, teacher, dirt bike rider...all of which are pretty tough to do without the use of a thumb. (dumb) I think over time it will still continue to improve.

I'm so grateful to have the use of all FIVE of my digits back! THANKS!

Dr. Roberts changed my life! I had a MakOPlasty to relieve constant knee pain in 2010 and it now is pain free all the time. The recovery for me was slow, but I was probably trying to do too much too quickly. I would highly recommend the entire Rebound team for this procedure for anyone who is living through knee pain and doesn't need to!

Without a doubt the best results I could have ever hoped for. Both Drs. Wei and Roberts are amazing doctors. I am 100% pain free and living a very normal active life thanks to those two. And the nurses at Salmon Creek are THE BEST too! Thank you thank you thank you!
