As a health care professional we ask others in the field, “ Who would you recommend using for …”? Time and time again, I received the same response, “ Dr. River Elliott”. When someone would ask me who did your surgery and I responded with Dr. Elliott, I never once received a negative remark. That’s saying a lot in today’s health care industry. Dr. Elliott is knowledgeable and took the time to educate me on all the pros and cons of my surgical options. Most importantly, I felt I was in safe hands and where I needed to be to obtain the best possible outcome.
