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.

Waiting for 2 months for results of my ultrasound
I have been waiting for 2 months for the result of my abdominal ultrasound. I have called several times and told them that I am still waiting for the result of the ultrasound due to my gastric distress. I even made sure that my local hospital sent him the ultrasound and reading. No response from this doctor.

No Longer Patiently Waiting – Oct 03, 2023

Scheduling an appointment
Called to make my initial appointment after the VA authorized it. Called on a Monday, no office staff answered, no option to talk to reception. Just leave a message and we'll call you back as soon as we can or within 1 business day. I was feeling very sick with pain and vomiting, called Tuesday to make appointment, again just a message and no call back. Called Wednesday and so did my VA Rep, no answered just a message and still no call back. I had to find another doctor. I find this rude and disrespectful to someone who is sick and in pain needing an appointment. I would never recommend this clinic to anyone. I hope they read this review and change the way they operate their business. Now I will have to wait another week to be seen.

Awesome Doctor
I love Dr. Elloway. He is a no nonsense Dr and takes the time to listen. He has a great personality and is clearly good at what he does. His staff are also great. I love the no wait times (meaning VERY quick) in the waiting area. Finally a Dr office that you spend more time with the Dr than the waiting area. I completely recommend Dr. Elloway.

Very good doctor, he really listens to what is going on and really does want to help you. I have been to a lot of doctors and he is the first to actually give me answers.

Doctor Elloway did my colonoscopy and it was the best experience ever. The staff who did the prep were the best. Both nurses were kind and very good at their jobs. I have never had better care in any medical facility.

After 15 years of diarrhea and 2 months of severe abdominal pain, Dr elloway would not run any tests. Said I had ibd and gave me Bentyl and immodium. Went to see different Dr and found out I have a bacterial infection and if I would have taken the Immodium it would have gotten worse. All he cared about was getting me out of his office because I'm a smoker and he didn't like smell of cigarettes on my clothes.
