Dr Elliott is straight forward - tells you like it is and what he can do. During my carpal tunnel operation he told me what he was going to do and what I would feel. It totally relieved my stress and anxiety during the operation. The operation took 4 minutes with a minimal scar. A true professional and great at his work.
