I don't go to doctors often because I am too uncomfortable and usually have problems talking to the doctor. Dr. Elsie seems genuine and takes the time to answer my questions and is very knowledgeable. This is actually the first primary care physician I have had. Highly recommend!

Mis-prescribed medicine and then claimed the patient requested the drug. Did not include instructions on how to take Rx so I had to call back after the weekend.

I would not recommend this physician. Dr. Elsea acts and appears stressed, hurried, and sometimes irritated. She seems to do the bare minimum to get me back out the door.
