Patient Reviews
May 11, 2018
Dr. Elton performed our daughters neurosurgery and we couldn't have had a better experience with him. She was born with an extremely rare birth defect which required removal of brain tissue and extensive bone reconstruction. We will be forever grateful for Dr. Elton! He has given our daughter a chance at a normal life. He is knowledgeable and confident and has wonderful bedside manner. He even came in on his day off after her surgery to check on her and how she was healing. Highly recommend!
