Very calming and reassuring.

He takes time to listen to me. I never feel rushed. I haven't met a staff member who isn't extremely nice at Dr. Elman's office.

Most professionally run practice I've ever seen!

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Elman for 18 years. Dr. Elman's practice is the most professionally run practice I've ever seen. He gives very clear and thorough explanations.
