Oct 24, 2023
Dr. Elkins is excellent at her job and extremely personable. I had a semi-rare problem that landed me in ICU and Dr. Elkins made it a point to see me and check up on me as i became a new patient to her. She was excellent and communicated extremely well. I highly recommend her to anyone.
