Met the Doctor at the Emergency Room at 2:00 in the morning. Terrified to have emergency surgery for a hernia, and Dr Elias listened and acknowledged my concerns, gave me all the possible outcomes if I had the surgery or declined it, and doubled checked my test results before recommending that surgery was really the right thing to do. A wonderful man, who saved my life, and I would 1000% recommend him to anyone needed a surgeon!

I met Dr. Elias at the emergency room. He performed an emergency appendectomy on me. He was the most caring, knowledgable doctor I have seen in a long time. He had trouble getting a needed diagnostic test and didn't give up until it was performed to diagnose my pain. Post op has been better than expected and I highly recommend Dr. Elias!

I never had to have a surgery in my life up until I heard those words "Breast Cancer" I met Dr. Elias for the first appointment and from the minute I met him I knew he was the one who will be the best for me. Immediately we connected, he was honest, serious when needed, funny when needed and answered my questions and then some. He kept me calm during a situation that could of been total chaos. He was wonderful to my husband and mother in law with all their questions as I was in recovery. I am blessed he is in my life to take excellent care of me. As I always say, Dr. Elias is the very best..................

Accurately diagnosed me after I had been misdiagnosed. Very serious about his job may come across as uncaring but I think his intentions are to tell the whole truth and do a great surgical job.
