Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rude doctor and medical staff. Wouldn't let me talk, performed very brief exam, did blood test, and explained nothing. Refused to answer questions, he simply ignored me. I came in with 2 diagnoses he claims to treat & other symptoms he might have helped get to the bottom of, but he simply did not even care- about ANY of it. Extremely upsetting & very much dissatisfied. Seeing him was a complete waste.

wasted my time – Nov 02, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Elliott?
He had horrible bedside manner. Seemed annoyed that I had questions and wanted to take notes. He made a comment that it was odd that I wanted to know the exact numbers of my lab work... why on earth would that be weird?? It’s my body - of course I want to know my lab results... and is staff/office are HORRIBLE!! You can’t ever get anyone on the phone and the claims coordinator is rude and unhelpful. The communication and customer service is nonexistent at this office.

I cannot believe the untrue comments about this physician. I felt like I was going to die for systemic pain that I did not know what it was. I just knew it was taking over, and it was more than just AARP type stiffness. This practice did testing and Id my problem. Unchecked and untreated autoimmune arthritis is horrific. I know I will get worse as this progresses, but until then, they are warriors in the fight against arthritis. They are wonderful.

A pamphlet was left with my belongings explaining Connective Tissue Disorder. A DEATH SENTENCE! Next apt 3 wks.Mean time(i'm in med field)took action to get results from outside lab.Was not waiting for him! I was FREAKING! Thought I may have CTD.(was dying)Why would he order 2G$ test? Leave me waiting? I knew I didnt before he did! I'm good! God is good!

I came to Dr. Elliott because of swelling and pain in my knees and lower legs due to osteoarthritis. I am very pleased with the time Dr. Elliott takes at each appointment. He answers all my questions and concerns. I never feel rushed.
