This excuse of a Dr beyond over medicated my son causing him tremors etc etc and completely ignored it. She went so far as to refused to even see the mess she caused nor did she even try to be of any help correcting it ..not that we would’ve trusted her after the torture she caused my child but we did want her to see. I wouldn’t recommend her to my worse enemy. Those raving that she’s an amazing dr makes me wonder of their connection to this heartless person. Sincerely, A very disgusted parent

If I could give Dr. Elia a 0 star rating I would in a heartbeat. I would never suggest her to any parent who has a child with severe behaviors and are truly in need of a specialized professional. For how long she has been doing this, it's more then a shame that she is not more trained in her "profession."

Dr. Elia is the best doctor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She goes out of her way to consult with me on the phone in addition to spending a lot of time during office visits. She is so kind to my son! You will not go wrong if you choose for your child to be treated by Dr. Elia.

Dr. Elia only sees pediatric patients and truly understands the developing brain. She is conservative on meds, respects the whole child, celebrates strengths and works as a team with parents, school and all others involved in care/treatment for success. Wonderful practitioner!

This doctor knows what she is talking about, and will help your child with AD/HD. She is fabulous. She has left CHOP, unfortunately, but she has wonderful information to share and is someone worth seeing, rated one of the top child psychiatrists by major news magazine.

Dr. Elia was the worst doctor I ever saw in my entire life. It is a very scary thought to think that Dr. Elia is involved in the care of other patients. AVOID!
