Dr. Elliott very knowledgeable and professional. He diagnosed my issues quickly and took care of them. I called for an appointment and I was seen with a couple of days not weeks or months with some other facilities. I highly recommend OSS and Dr. Elliott.

Dr. Elliott performed surgery on both wrists to address severe carpal tunnel. He was a total professional pre-, during and post surgery. Patient comfort and care were evident and constant by Doc as well as all nurses and support staff. Very pleased with the entire experience and OSS will be my only choice should any additional orthopedic needs occur.
