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.

Circumcision for 6 Month Old
Our son was born in a birth center so we had to find an external urologist to handle the circumcision. We saw Dr. Elmore the first time and had a good visit. He said it looked like our son had slight hypospadias and a hernia which was causing swelling. We waited a little longer to come back for a follow up to see if the swelling had gone down. He then recommended full blown surgery to fix a hernia that was NOT confirmed and then to perform the circumcision and correct hypospadias. We weren't comfortable with that diagnosis when a hernia wasn't confirmed apart from him looking at it and DEFINITELY weren't comfortable putting our 6 month old under anesthesia. The second visit, the doctor acted like he had never met us before and went straight into talking about surgery and then rushed out. I would not recommend him.

Dr. Elmore was excellent. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. He was willing to take as much time with us as needed and explain the condition that our infant son had. He gave us advice, but we did not feel pushed to make a decision that we did not want to make. He explained everything in a way that we could understand and also told us the risk that were involved. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Elmore has taken care of my son since the day he was born (my son is 4 yrs old now). He has preformed numerous surgeries and tests on my son and we are completely satisfied with the care and attention he has given us. Dr. Elmore is extremely thorough and cares so much for his patients. He's compassionate and had always explained things in a way for my husband and I to understand exactly what was going on with our child. I highly trust and recommend Dr. Elmore

Has extremely worried about my son and his health but after talking ti Dr. Elmore, he helped me to understand what was happening and really put my mind at ease. I felt like if someone came to me and asked me about the same situation, I could easily describe to them what was going on and sound like a professional while doing it. He and his staff were extremely pleasant to deal with.

Dr. Elmore took care of my 5 month old son. He was even smaller when he had his first visit. Dr. Elmore was very patient, attentive with my son and explained me in detail my son's condition and what needs to be done for him and the outcome. I could not ask for a better doctor.
