Practices In: Quincy, Rushville
Patients Seen: Adolescents and Adults

Most of the patients I see have chron­ic con­di­tions that require a com­mit­ment from the patient and from me the provider to work togeth­er (often over many years) to hope­ful­ly make pos­i­tive changes to lifestyle and med­ica­tions if need­ed. I feel like patients should be lis­tened to and giv­en the time need­ed to feel under­stood and to under­stand what options are avail­able to hope­ful­ly improve longevi­ty and qual­i­ty of life.

Clinical Interests

There is wide vari­ety of patients I see on a week­ly basis, but my spe­cif­ic med­ical inter­est in Endocrinol­o­gy is dia­betes. I enjoy work­ing with dia­bet­ic patients over time to reduce the risk of com­pli­ca­tions and improve over­all health.

Personal Interests

Spend­ing time and exist­ing with fam­i­ly is what I do out­side of work. My wife, three daugh­ters, and I spend a lot of time out­doors. We have a small farm. We raise sheep and have a large gar­den. We eat sup­per togeth­er and are out­side until its dark and the mos­qui­tos are biting.

"Luke Ellerman was really good. He really surprised me by contacting one of my other doctors to discuss which medication would be the best for me. Then he called me well after hours and checked to see if that would be okay. He explained the reason behind the discussion with the other doctor. We came to an informed decision to go ahead with the medication."
