It took me one or two visits to warm up to him, but I think he's an excellent doctor. He listened to my concerns and gave good advice

I have been with this group for years and think I am getting the best medical services possible. Dr. E. and his entire office is there to make needing a Dr. more of a personal visit with lots of time if needed. What a difference they have made in my life over the past 8-10 years.

I did not care for this Doctor. He totally overlooked a gallbladder attack and sent me for a test that did not diagnose the problem. I spent a LOT of money and time on his tests that did not identify anything. He was not willing to send me to a specialist and after calling to explain more of my pain he told me "Go to the emergency room" per his nurse. After finding another doctor, I was sent to a specialist who ordered the correct test and diagnosed me immediately. My gallbladder was removed several months later. I felt Dr. Elsbree didn't listen and sent me for many unnecessary test and always sent his nurse to call me back with results then had to "check with him" if I had a question which took days for a response. When you are sick and in pain you need answers quickly. I was not happy with his bedside manner at all. That was just my experience.

Dr. Elsbree's office is extremely effeciently run. He goes over your blood tests with you at your visit and explains them to you in detail. His staff is exceptional. There was not a long wait to see him-In and out in about 30 minutes for my visit.
