My experience with Dr. Elliot was very positive. I received x-rays and the doctor reviewed the results with me. He was very knowledgeable and explained my condition very thoroughly suggesting reasons of the source of my pain. It was easy for me to follow his explanation and he spoke that I could understand my situation. He responded to all my questions and very respectfully answered them clearly. Dr. Elliot was very kind and I do favorably recommend him.
