I had seen Dr Elman years ago and decided to schedule a visit for a problem with my knee. I was shocked to be offered an appointment for the following morning. After X-rays, he explained the possible causes and suggested an MRI to determine the issue. The necessary paperwork was sent to my insurance provider and I was able to have the MRI mid afternoon on the same day. Absolutely amazing! I figured I’d have to wait weeks for an appointment and months for an MRI. I can’t recommend this Doctor highly enough. So far the experience has been incredible.

I live Dr Elman, but on 8/25 I made a visit just to find out I was at the wrong doctor. Need to see someone about my spine? A lot wasted time and a $50 copay. Maybe the person taking the appointments should ask the patient what exactly the visit is for to avoid these problems.

Dr. Elman told me quickly that he knows nothing about my issue with fibrosis of the neck muscles following radiation treatment for cancer. He suggested consulting a pain management specialist and/or a cancer center.

Dr. Elman Is a very professional Dr He takes the time to explain in detail what the procedure will entail and what may need to be done in the future and especially what is very important. After the explanation he gives you, he listens to what you have to say as far as your symptoms go. I would highly recommend this doctor

Dr. Elman reviewed a VA service connected injury i sustained while in the Marine Corps circa 1990. He was straightforward and to the point. I appreciated his no nonsense approach and his ability to quickly assess my condition. He gave me sound advice and a well thought out plan for me moving forward. Sometimes it's good (necessary) to hear what you don't want to hear, but you need to hear it. Thank You. Scott Palmer
