Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
I was in so much pain, while I had a mainor injury at my place of work, which I just thought it will be fine. As a man it pained just a little bit enough to keep me going with work. Never did I know after a couple of months that I was injured inside my joints due to the impact I had on a frame that I was assembling parts on. When I went to Dr Elliott. I was like we can have this hand cut ✂️ off. After the Doctor took time to find out the course of pain he noticed a very minor gap and browse on my arm joint. He admmisterd treatment and now I'm ok. Thanks to all the staff and Doctor who helped me. I have now made this my home bess hospital.
