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.

Dr. Elser is AWESOME. I've been going to Dr. Elser since 2017 for headaches at Childrens Hospital, CHI St. Vincents and now through MyChart. I trust Dr. Elsers opinion with things. He keeps things simple. Dr. Elser will not keep you waiting for long periods of time, He is one of those if he suspects something is wrong he is going to take immediate action. His nurse Madison is GREAT. I'm 23 and still see Dr. Elser and I could not imagine loosing him and going to a Neurologist that sees Adults with me being an adult now. Personally I enjoy his visits and every visit makes my day better if I am having a bad day ifs its on the day of the visit. He cheers me up. Parents if you are looking for a Pediatrician or Neurologist Dr. Elser is the doctor to choose.

I have always dreaded doctors visits, but not with Dr Elser. He was always forthcoming with information and provided insight from over his career and with his own kids that helped so much as my kids grew.

Has been great with My daughter, and handled our unusual situation wonderfully. I was a little put out when he didn't seem interested in what I had to say at all, but he listened to my daughter very well, and has actually made her comfortable enough to open up about her medical issues and how she is handling them which is great as she is almost 16 and will need to communicate her needs on her own in a couple more years. He does hear what I am saying and asks if I have and questions or concerns, but I am very happy with the fact that he is listening to my daughter, and he explains what he is aiming for and what his treatment plan is very well.

Horrible bedside manner. Doesnt listen, rough with child/patient. Looks like he’d rather be anywhere else. Doesnt explain reasoning for his opinions at all. Dismissive. Wouldn’t recommend.

The likelihood that I will recommend Elser to family and friends is nonexistent. Elser doesn't do a considerable amount of listening to the patient and tending to their needs. He has a tendency of talking into the abyss and not getting feedback or listening to the feelings of the patient after he's given a lecture. He has been one of the worst doctors I've ever been around. I don't look forward to his visits and only see him when it's a last resort.
