Dr.Elkins is one of the most understanding, compassionate doctors there is in this area. He is the best working with you in a terminal condition helping manage your pain. He makes time to talk about your problem not in a hurry to just get you in and out. Couldn't ask for a better doctor

Superior service and treatment every time. Not a pill mill; Dr. Elkins treats the issue, not the symptoms.

Dr. Elkins and staff are an absolute anomaly in healthcare providers; I cannot think of a single way in which the service provided by them could be improved.
What could have been done to improve this visit?
Ummm? A ribeye steak, medium rare, with baked halibut, asparagus and a small salad upon checking in would be nice.

Everything in Dr. Elkins‘s office, including his staff are excellent at what they do with their jobs. The only thing I could suggest is have a scale to where you can weigh patients during their exams. Other than that, everything is very well organized at Dr. Elkins clinic.

Everyone in this office are always efficient, kind, professional, and make an already stressful doctor’s visit much easier, from routine visits to scheduled procedures. Because I have had proper pain management by Mark and Dr. [ ]s, I have come from being almost completely homebound (walker and wheelchair assisted) to getting my life back. I will forever be grateful to this team.

When I left Phoenix 2 years ago, I was afraid I wasnt going to recieve the same quality of care that I recieved with my first pain management provider. But through my frustration and not able to get my medical records sent over from previous specialist the office staff helped me get them (I was frustrated to the point of anger, because I was in so much pain). Even though I was snippy and rude Dr. Elkins staff helped me get my records sent over in order to start care. Honestly since I started care, Dr. Elkins and staff always make sure i am comfortable during procedures and through medication management. Couldnt be more grateful for Dr. Elkins and his staff!
What could have been done to improve this visit?
Honestly nothing they have been so kind, even when i wasnt.
