I would highly recommend Dr. Elliot. He performed surgery on my right hand to remove a growth on my index finger. Since it was a local surgery, he explained what he was doing every step of the surgery. Minimal pain post surgery and healing very nicely. Dr. Elliot and his OSS nursing and surgical tech team were very professional and treated me with the utmost respect.

I had to have surgery on my hand and was uneasy about the whole process. The staff made me feel very comfortable and were very friendly and caring. After my surgery the nurses took very good care of me and made sure I wasn’t in any pain. I’ve had surgery before but never had an experience where the nurses AND the surgeon themselves called me after I was discharged to ensure I was doing well and following the discharge instructions. Great staff and great facility. I would give 10 stars if I could.
