My last visit with Doctor Elkady was great. He’s definitely the best doctor I’ve ever encountered. I will miss him so much. Cox is loosing one of their best doctors. He always put me at ease and explained everything to me so I could understand. When you have a few different lung diseases it helps to have someone that is very knowledgeable in that field and also knows how to comfort you at the same time. I trusted him with my whole heart. I want to thank him for always being such a wonderful doctor and always putting his patients first. I know others that had him as their doctor and they loved him. I just hope and pray I can receive another doctor that is at least half as good as he. I know doctors like him are very rare and my chances of receiving that quality of care is not going to be easy!! Sincerely, Jennifer Bruce

Dr. Elkady is extremely well versed in sleep disorders, and pulmonary functions in general. He took an appropriate amount of time with me, and explained things very carefully. He also took the time to answer all the questions my wife and I had.
