Born and raised in Rigby, Idaho, Dr. Ellis graduated class of 1983. His parents had a farm in the Clark area, approximately 5 miles east of Rigby, where they raised cattle, hay, and grain. Dr. Ellis developed his work ethic and desire to help others, as one of his favorite things growing up was to bundle up and go around to the neighbors, clearing their driveways during the winter.
Dr. Ellis attended Ricks College and later earned a degree from EITC. He relocated to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where he worked as a radiation control technician. He wanted to return to Idaho and took a job at the INEL, where he was employed for three years before budget cuts forced his layoff. After much consideration, he sold everything and returned to school, attending ISU and then Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI for Dental school. Dr. Ellis graduated in 2001. Dental school was difficult, but he loved the clinic and was fortunate to excel there.
Dr. Ellis considers himself very lucky to have been able to return and start a practice here. He loves what he does and is thankful for his friends and patients who visit for their dental care. He is further blessed to have both of his girls work with him at the practice. He and our entire staff look forward to meeting you!
