William Ellis

Closest friends while working at NIH(NHLI) Bethesda Md. 1970-1972. He convinced me to become an Ophthalmologist and to invest in fine wine. He was a very nice and smart person.

I was very worried because good God it's your eyesight at stake, Dr Ellis had really superb credentials so I picked him and and he did an excellent job on my lasik surgery, thankfully he corrected my blurry myopia to 20/20 vision, I will always remember him very fondly.

I served Dr Ellis as his MedMal broker for 10 years. Our relationship became a Bill and Dave business friendship. Can´t think of a better business person to work nor a better human being who shared his life history from time to time I always worried about the flying but he loved it dearly David Hambright

I just learned of his passing when I called to make an appointment. I was his patient for over 40 years. Always friendly with a twinkle in his eye. He has his wings...fly high, Dr Ellis. BJ Combs

I had the pleasure of being Dr. Ellis's medical malpractice insurance broker for 12 years. Working through difficult renewals and occasional patient allegations demands lots of communications. His renewal date was 3/1 so we were right in the middle of that process a year ago when I learned of the accident. Bill was an amazing task master to work with. Usually I have to stay after physicians to provide me needed information, but with Bill it was just the opposite as he contacted me...

About 30 years ago I had the pleasure of working with Dr, Ellis on some marketing, such a quick thinker and dynamic person who touched the lives of so many people, truly a treasure of a man.

Thank you Dr. Ellis for your phenomenal work as an eye surgeon. You performed my Epi-LASIK procedure at your clinic in September 2007 and I still have excellent vision to this day.

I knew Bill Ellis as a surgeon and a pilot. His hanger was very close to mine. He was a rare person and he is missed.
