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.

Dr. Elias seems to be a thoughtful, caring and (very important for me) curious man. I did not feel I was in a cookie-cutter approach. Likelihood of benefits AND risks were very clearly stated and easily understood. I definitely felt my best outcome was his chief concern.

Dr. Elias was very concerned about my pain. He described the procedure and allowed us to assist in the decision which device he would use. He thoroughly explained the procedure and answered all of our questions. He was not going to leave the room until he was convinced we had all questions answered and we were comfortable with the decision.
