Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Listenened
Dr. Elster listened to my concerns and was very thorough with blood work and testing. We found out I have asthma and he started inhalers that have helped. Very personable and overall nice person who cares.

Caring and actually listened to me
Dr. Elster really listened to me when I was facing a cancer scare. Dr.Elster went out of his way to explain everything clearly and showed us a great deal of compassion. He showed the same level of professionalism when my mother in law was in the hospital in the ICU. Would highly recommend Dr. Elster to anyone in need of a lung doctor!
