Dr. Jeffrey Elston, MD

I would not recommend this Dr to anyone, his lack of empathy towards his patients is beyond comprehension, only talk of all (supposedly) his accomplishments and how he’s given classes to future Rheumatologist in Orlando, but I say that if he teaches others the way he treats his patients then we are out of professional Rheumatologist in the area. Went only twice to see him 1st order dozens of test and blood works, 2nd came to get results and was told that I don’t have a condition which I been treated for over 40 years! All I can say I’d treat others as you would like to be treated some day!

I have been to many different doctors who have been unable to diagnose my symptoms and they have seen me twice and been able to put me in the right direction for treatment. Hi highly recommend this Doctor.

I don't like being talked down to , he doesn't understand what I was going through at the time especially remembering things under the stress very disrespectful and explaining things I didn't understand a couple of times then walked out of the room after being annoyed very disrespectful same attitude with the receptionist I thought it was me but also had my mom with me , she agreed very disrespectful

Very detailed overview of my condition. Highly experienced and very knowledgeable and very quick in diagnosis. I would strongly recommend but be ready to detail out answers for all of his questions, which in my case helped in quick and accurate diagnosis.

I decided to cancel my appointment with Dr Elston because I didn’t want my first rheumatologist to be with a doctor who had mixed ratings. When I cancelled my appointment, I received a call from the staff asking for a video call/telehealth appointment. Which was confusing because I cancelled my appointment the night before. When I stated that I made the choice to not come and didn’t want to come to this doctor because of the reviews, I was told by the staff to “make my own decisions”. I’ve been to enough doctors in the last 8 years with my Crohn’s to know that it’s a good thing I did cancel. That attitude told me everything I need to know.

If you are expecting one of those Doctors from a TV series that hold your hand and tell you all is going to be ok, Elston will not be your doctor. He is a very intelligent and experienced doctor and will not hesitate to tell you the truth about what is going on with you. No false hopes, no holding hands and maybe no therapeutic talk from him. What you will get is someone knowledgeable in the inject of autoimmune diseases, that does not sugar coat your disease and has a good and conservative plan to test you. All he asks is compliance. He saved my life and for the past 18+ years has been my doctor. He has never gave me false hope nor prescribes useless medications. If you are not able to follow his treatment plan then don’t bother to go to him. He gets frustrated because he cares for his patients’ well being. This is not a paid advertisement.

Very Good Doctor

As previous reviews have stated, Dr. Elston is quite curt and matter-of-fact during visits. Sometimes it can be hard to answer a question or ask a question before he jumps in and fills in the rest for you. Sometimes that is the nature of people with a high degree of knowledge. He is not your therapist. However, after seeing him for several years I can tell he really does care about patients and if you ask the right questions and listen, you can get some good insight into the latest research into rheumatology. Jan runs the whole office solo and is a saint. I don't know how she does it. Patience is required when calling the office and having to leave a call-back message. If you are, she will go above and beyond for you.

This man is arrogant and insensitive. I had this experience and so did a neighbor. I would not recommend him and I reported him to the medical board.

RUDE..ARROGANT..SARCASTIC...PIG..SAW HIM FOR 3 YEARS...DUMPED ME AS A PATIENT...WORST OF ALL HE'S A COWARD...TALKED TO ME THROUGH A LOCKED DOOR...NEEDS TO RETIRE...HAS SAME REPUTATION WITH OTHER DOCTORS...POOR WITH EVERYTHING HE DOES....HAD APPOINTMENT TODAY TO RENEW MY MEDS AND HE REFUSED TO SEE ME...ZERO NOTICE FROM HIM....A REAL LOSER

dr eliston is as rude as everyone says he is. he said to me. "never mind your lupus. you have hepC and i believe you have cancer too." damn. horrible bedside manner. thats not how you wanna here you have or could have cancer. i went to the first doctor and yes. i had hepC. had it treated and i thought since he was right about the HepC even though i had no symptoms i may as well go to an oncologist just to be safe. sure enough. i had colon cancer. never had any symptoms. i have been cancer free for a year now after two years of treatment. basically as much as i hated him i owe him my life.

I read the reviews but in desperation scheduled an appointment anyways hoping things might be better. No such luck. I was sent for test after test with never any review of ANY of the results, no physical examination, and extremely rude and berating when talking AT me. There is no with, I was told that he would be the one doing the talking. Good luck getting an answer on the phone, that will most likely never happen, and be prepared for very long waits no matter how empty the office is or what time your appointment was scheduled. Go if you must, but be prepared for the worst.

If I could leave one star I would. My appointment was at 11am and He did not see me until almost 2pm. Apparently they go to lunch from 1-2 and those of us in the waiting room just sit there. In addition he never examined me much less gave me any clinical information to help diagnose why my bloodwork was so whack. He is an abomination and blight on his profession. His intake person, Jan, was the only highlight, but she appears taken advantage of and abused to me.

When people reach the point of needing to see a rheumatologist I think it's safe to assume they are in some degree of discomfort. They are seeking answers and relief from various debilitating conditions. This "doctor" offers nothing but ridicule, sarcasm, and no hope for any relief from suffering. He is an absolute disgrace to the medical profession. Do yourself a favor and run, do not walk, out of his office and seek help and answers elsewhere. You will not find it here.

A friend accompanied me to my first visit and we both had a great first impression. He spent a lot of time talking to me and was great at explaining anything I had questions about. He was very knowledgeable, kind and patient. I would recommend him to anyone needing a rheumatologist. Also, his office was terrific at getting me an appointment right away.

I would highly recommend Dr Elston to anyone with auto immune disorders. He is very patient, caring and truly will find the right regimen to treat and improve your condition. I’ve been seeing rheumatologist for over 26 years & finally found the perfect Dr. Thank you Dr Elston Team!!!

I was diagnosed and treated for rheumatoid arthritis. I have since gone to another rheumatologist and have found out that I do not have RA. I am happy about that, but I want others to know that this doctor is dangerous to the health of all who see him. The doctor I saw who said I do NOT have RA went to Johns Hopkins University, one of the top hospitals in the US for RA care and treatment. Dr. Elston gave me some pretty poisonous medications to treat an illness I DO NOT HAVE!

Rudest, most uncaring doctor I have ever seen. I also don’t believe the positive reviews. This guy is in the wrong business. He should work for the IRS.

Unfortunately, I read these (mostly) negative reviews of Dr. Elston before making an appointment with him, and I decided to move forward with him anyway since he was also the only RA who was in-network for my insurance. I assumed others might've just had personality clashes with him. But, after having been through 3 appointments with him I would strongly urge people to be prepared for feeling disrespected, condescended to, badgered and overall baffled by this doctor.

Dr Jeffrey Elston was my Doctor in Omaha Nebraska & he was amazing! The first Doctor who was able to help relieve my asthma symptoms.
