This starts with exceptional care in the office where patients are treated with compassion and their needs are addressed from start to finish including support from the office staff and ancillary services like lab and imaging. It continues into the hospital setting, where she works with the administrators and the nurses to make sure all the patient's needs are met in the most caring and technologically advanced setting possible.

When Dr. Elliott is not in the office, she loves spending time with her family and her dogs. She enjoys exercising, traveling, fishing, and art projects as her favorite leisure activities.

Biography: Establishing a solid foundation of trust with my patients is my ultimate goal as a physician. Because I strongly believe the best medical care is tailored to the individual, I find it important to take an unhurried approach during our appointments. Getting to know my patients and learning about their lives and families, puts me in a better position to address their medical needs. I wholeheartedly believe healthcare is a collaborative effort, and this is the cornerstone for all my patient interactions. From an OB perspective, I believe every woman should be supported and given the opportunity to have a vaginal delivery. I am a big advocate for natural labor, and as such, have tremendous amounts of experience in VBACs.As part of my background, I earned my undergraduate degree in Biology and Chemistry from Baylor University in Waco, Texas. I then pursued my graduate degree in Medical Science from the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, Texas. I stayed in Fort Worth to complete my medical education at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine. After medical school, I moved to El Paso, Texas, and completed my medical residency in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology with Texas Tech Health Science Center - El Paso, at the University Medical Center. Dealing with high surgical volume enabled me to become proficient with the robotic platform, and also performing both vaginal surgery and minimally invasive surgery.
