Dr. Ellis has a constant love for the profession and continued learning.

She has finished the first course at the Pankey Institute where she was able to adapt to a comprehensive advanced approach to dentistry and looks forward to continuing on at the Institute. Her father, Dr. Smith, is visiting faculty at the Pankey Institute and will be a great mentor for her to continue on her journey in this wonderful profession.
