Dr. Susan Elbaum, MD

Dr. Elbaum was the doctor for both of my elderly parents, and I went to appointments with her. I found her to be caring, professional, and compassionate with their many health issues - so much that I decided to have her be my PCP as well. She is also really good about responding on the patient portal.

As others have mentioned, Dr. Elbaum wants you in and out of her door. She doesn’t appear to care in helping you understand any underlying causes of your health instead will quickly prescribe you unneeded medication. She will also have her assistant send you a message after getting any lab results completed that states “your test results are normal” without explaining test results or identifying next steps to eliminate physical pain. On top of everything, she incorrectly identified a lab test I needed which caused confusion and a delay in getting the lab completed.

Dr. Elbaum is the doctor that I have always been searching for. She is always on time to every appointment, listens to all concerns, and thinks of plans and ideas that no other doctors have thought of. Her schedule can be booked pretty far out but if it's actually urgent will make time to see you.

She is extremely competent and

Dr. Elbaum is an outstanding diagnostician. After a year of top internists and GIs at North Shore HealthServices being unable to diagnose my severe daily nausea, a switch to Dr. Elbaum solved the riddle on the first visit!! She's always on time yet never cuts an appt. short - is very thorough. She and her staff return calls without fail and in a very timely manner. Her recommendations, treatment plans, etc., have all been on target. Definitely a gem.
