The Doctor

Keven M. Ellis, D.C.

Dr. Ellis was first introduced to Chiropractic when he was 7 years old. At that time his mother began her chiropractic education at Texas Chiropractic College. From that point on, chiropractic became a part of his life. It was during his freshman year of college that he decided, working behind a desk in the business world was not for him. Shortly thereafter he completed his pre-medical requirement and was enrolled at Texas Chiropractic College. After graduating from chiropractic college, Dr. Ellis became an associate doctor with Dr. Mark J. Davis in Clear Lake, TX. Coincidentally, this was the same doctor that his mother first associated with following her completion of chiropractic college.

Dr. Ellis married Shelli Cox in 1993 and following the birth of their children, they started considering moving from Houston to a better place for their children to grow up. In 1998, they moved to Lufkin, TX, the hometown of Shelli, where they have enjoyed becoming actively involved in the community and their church.
