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.

A true Angel
Telehealth
Dr. Elias has been with me for my entire sobriety journey. I contacted her office at my lowest point when I was all to ready to give up. She took the time to understand what I was going through without any judgement and continues to do so as I write this review. Dr. Elias has gone above and beyond to help through any struggles with her main goal ALWAYS being that I am comfortable first and foremost. I tried to do this on my own, and when I realized I couldn't, she had me on the proper medication, at the proper dose within a few hours. I highly recommend that if you are struggling, and need to be guided, Dr. Elias will get you to where you need to be with nothing less then care and compassion.

My visits with Dr. Elias are always so personal and to the root of my issue. She is always smiling. I feel like she genuinely cares about her patients. I would and have recommended her to others seeking treatment. Dr. Elias makes you eager to come to your next visit. Something I've usually dreaded with doctors. She is a gem.

Wonderful Doctor and Human
From the beginning Doctor Eli has been so awesome. I was so nervous to start recovery and was worried that I was going to be judged. That feeling quickly went away as I felt safe and cared about from the first appointment. Doctor Eli is so compassionate and kind. She encourages me and believes in me to accomplish any goal I have for my recovery. She is always there when I need her and helps me feel better about myself. She is hands down the best Doctor I have ever seen. The world needs more doctors like her!

The personal touch is back!
Telehealth
I have been so impressed with Dr Elias and her team. I HIGHLY recommend this practice for anyone who is looking. I am new to Maryland. I grew up in Northern NY and I have traveled a lot for work. I've had experiences with Dr's and hospitals throughout the country.The treatment times are always on time, the flexibility of the practice is top notch and the personal touch is something that you just don't find anymore.I have been treated like a patient, one who has say in their treatment plan. I have always felt welcomed, always felt like they heard me and understood what I needed, that my opinion is valuable. The response from the office is always very quick.Definitely a practice where you feel like you are their only patient.How often have you had this in today's health care arena?If you are looking for top notch care, someone who listens and understands that life can get chaotic, you need to get in touch with them.Definitely a 5 star program!
