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.

diligent, caring, smart, efficient. A doctor I would take my family to.

I took my husband to ER at BJ for the 2nd time in 2 days with severe back pain and unable to urinate or have a bowel movement. Dr. Elder saw him ordered CT scan of low back. He said he had a disc problem and needed PT and exercise and be good in about a month. My husband got worse in ER. Had paralysis from waist down. Dr. was gonna release him got mad at me when I asked how to get him home. My husband was paralyzed. BAD DR. his lack of attention caused serious damage and almost permanent.
