Dr. River Elliott was recommended to me by my PCP. He had been recommended to her by a plastic surgeon. Dr. Elliott has helped me with the issues I have had retaining full use of my hands without discomfort, numbness, and loss of full range of motion. He is an excellent surgeon and will take good care of you.
