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.

This doctor is extremely overbooked on a consistent basis. Expect extrememly long wait times, even with an appointment. I have waited three and a half hours past my appointment time. He does not respect your time. When you do finally see him, you better talk fast. This guy will run out of the door on you before you even know what happened. When you waited that long to see him, you expect to get the face time you deserve to have your questions and concerns met. That’s not happening here. Elias will make changes to your medication without discussing it with you. You’ll learn from the pharmacist when you go to pick it up, or you’ll have to call the office back wondering whats going on, and he will force the front office to tell you. He will never discuss these things with you, it will always be second hand. Routine things like medication refills are made to be as inconvienent as possible. Refills are all sent in electronically, so you are at his mercy of when he gets around to it. You will learn how poor his follow up is. He wares out his welcome with all of these issues at each new office every four years. I followed him through four different practices. He is not welcome back at any of them. You, the patient, have to suffer the consequences of his lack of professionalism. You can feel the tension between him and staff when you enter the office. Because they don’t like him, they aren’t eager to help his pateints either. Former offices have delayed sending pateint records over and locked him out of patient information systems because of the poor relationships he leaves in his wake. When you have had enough of this, and believe me, that day will come, my sincere advice to you is not to tell him. He is vengeful. He will sink lower than you can imagine to retaliate on your way out.

Dr. Elias has been my family physician for over 25 years. He is a very patient, thorough and very knowledgeable physician who truly cares about his patients. He answers any questions or concerns you may have and will ensure you have all of the answers you may need prior to your appointment concluding. You cannot ask for a better physician. The staff has been professional and helpful. Some may have been abrupt at times, but for the most part they are great.

Dr Elias has been our family Doctor for years and I highly recommend him. He really cares about his patients and explains everything so you understand. I would follow him anywhere because you don’t find dedicated Doctors like him. The staff who works the office is not as dedicated.

Dr. Elias is an awesome, caring, and all around great doctor. I have seen him for aver a decade and I know patients of his that have moved quite a distance from his office and will still keep him as their doctor. He explains things in layman terms and always answers any questions you may have. I highly recommend Dr. Elias.

Never have I ever had a more unprofessional doctor in my life. Dr. Elias went from over prescribed medication to prescribing the wrong ones to getting in trouble. The staff is very, very rude. Toni, a manager actually screamed at me and ended our conversation by mumbling a bad word then hung up. The end came when he misdiagnosed me. 4 years of unnecessary medications and a surgery. I filed a complaint.

This doctor is incompetence. He breaches patients’ privacy by discussing medical history with another patient. I will never recommend this doctor to any other patient that might need his service.

I waited over 2 hours just to see the doctor for 10 minutes. He was showing me my file like I should of understood. He didn't even answer if I had a sinus infection, just said he would send over my prescriptions. I was not happy with how this was handled.

Dr. Elias has been my primary care doctor for 11 years, why ? I began seeing Dr Elias after visiting several Doctors who were performing many tests on me to determine causes for for my symptons, I appreciate there efforts but after 2 years of many tests and once being taken to a hospital from there office in ambulance, because they felt I was having heart issues, which was not my problem. Turns out after 2 visits with Dr Elias, he determined my smyptons were do to herniated disc in my neck.
