Lee Ross Ellenburg II

Fate has a way of letting us know when those we have been blessed to know, pass away and are not longer with us. A new friend is a dental assistant in Anchorage and commenting to her that I worked for Dr. Ellenburg from 1974-1976 led me to google his name...

So sorry to hear that he has passed. I worked for four different dentist during my dental career and Dr. Ellenburg was by far a favorite! He was so easy to work for...always appreciated his help, fun to be around and loved each...

I was saddened to learn of Dr. Ellenburg's passing. I needed a dentist, was a college student and looked thru the phone book and all I remember seeing was "We cater to cowards" I knew this was the one for me. That was in the 70's and after I got married and had children we were all his patients. I loved the nitrus he gave me and he never made me feel ashamed that I was scared. I dreamed he was God one of the times under the nitrus and told him the story...I could see his blue blue eye's...

it is with sincere regret that we heard of Dr. Ellenburgs passing when we went home to Anchorage this summer. He treated three generations of our family. We always were confident that Dr. Ellenburg would always save our teeth if at all possible. All our dental work was almost pain free, he monitored us during the procedure like tell me raise your hand if you are having pain. Only knowing Dr. Ellenburg professionally and not so much personally, we loved him very much he had a tremendous sense...

Dr. Ellenburg treated our family when in the late 60s when he opened practice in downtown Anchorage. He did our teeth but added our children as patients as they were born. Barbara was his receptionist while he did the prophy and dental work in which she assisted. The move to LaTouche to a bigger office with hygienists and dental assistants included Barbara in charge of the office for many years.

We miss the good old days. He often stated he was retired and doing what he...

Lee and I were students at Emory and as the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi he was one of "my" Sigs. He was quiet even then but with a great sense of humor. Always upbeat and ready with a word of encouragement or an off-handed compliment. As his family you have a wonderful legacy to remember and cherish. May it challenge and inspire you and the generations to come.

I worked with Dr Ellenburg for many years and enjoy his sense of humor and always warm manner, he was a wonderful person, great dentist and he will be missed.

Lee was a long time friend and colleague. One of the most interesting and interested people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was a gifted story-teller, a very talented dentist who always sought out and used the most effective and current therapies available.

I will miss him and his stimulating conversation and his presence at our study clubs. He was indeed an inspiration and model of a decathlon dentist...he could do it all with excellence.

Warmly,

I ve knownDr Ellenburg since i was 3 years old he one of the finest individuals that ive ever known Dr Ellenburg had a great sence of humor and you will be missed rest in peace. Kevin Ingerson
