How likely are you to recommend Dr. Elfar?
He is brilliant. From one symptom, relayed to him by my wife, he immediately knew that I was on the wrong medication and that I was headed down the wrong path. He changed the medication on the spot and he saved my life. I can’t say enough about his intelligence and his bedside manner.
