I called Northlake Hematology office on Sunday afternoon at 5:25 P.M. the answering service told me that Dr Mcelveen was on call and that she would have him call me back at the number I left with her. It is now 9:12 A.M. the following day and I have yet to receive a call back from him or his office. My wife is not a patient of Dr Mcelveen but a patient of Dr LeBlanc at Northlake Hematology. I just don't understand why the Dr on call would not return my phone call!!!!! I think my wife might be better off with a different Oncology team, but she doesn't want to change, I DO!!!!!!!

He has a great bed side manner, easy to talk to and explains in terms that us non-medical people can understand. Would highly recommend him as an ongologist.

I have seen him twice and felt very comfortable and confident with him. He is very caring and patient. I feel like I can depend on him to be straight forward and compassionate.
