Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
The friendliness of the staff made me feel very comfortable during my visit. They asked questions regarding my health, and answered questions that I had about my upcoming surgery. Dr. Elliott has performed carpal tunnel and trigger finger release surgeries on both of my hands. There was little if any scarring, or any pain afterwards. I will continue to use OSS Powder Mill for future medical visits.

Dr. Elliott is very knowledgeable and extremely skilled. He did a fantastic job on the release of my carpal tunnel impingement in my right hand. Surgery was done one week ago today and the swelling is gone and the pain is negligible. I see improvements with each passing day.
