First visit with Dr. Elkins. He was very aware of my situation and provided a clear explanation of the required follow-up.

He also did something I wasn't expecting. He actually shook my hand. That blew me away. Personal touch between patient and doctor have almost disappeared. So.etimees that can cement a patient relationship of respect and trust.

Because he listens to my concerns and tries to work them out. He there for his patients when he’s available. Tries to respond to their needs when possible. He’s worth more than I could afford. Thank the lord for him and his assistance’s help.
