I am completely confident with his care

He took very good care of me and was able to squeeze me in a few times for emergency appointments. His staff is nice and the office is super clean!

Fantastic caring staff.

I have been seeing Dr Elman for the past 4 months. He was trying to help me to avoid eye surgery. I ended up needing surgery and everyone in the practice made sure my needs were met.

Dr. Elman went above our expectations

My mother complained of pain in her eye. Although the office was closed, Dr. Elman recognized the potential problems that could be present, and offered to meet us in his office. He treated her for an infection with an injection to begin treatment rapidly and aggressively. The test results proved that he was correct in his dIagnosis. She is still being seen, following up the treatment and is improving daily. Thank God for a compassionate doctor and his assistant, who were willing to come after hours to treat my mom!
