Patient Reviews
Feb 09, 2021
Dr. Elder performed an urgent appendectomy on me recently. He was direct in his assessment of my situation and his genuine concern for a positive outcome was unquestionable. I was in surgery the next day. Thanks to a skillful surgeon and some good luck, all went well and long-term prognosis looks good.
