Dr. Elkay is an excellent neurologist! She is calming, thorough, compassionate and patient. She has made herself available for any questions I have asked, no matter what time of the day and given me the reassurance I needed during a stressful time. I can honestly say I feel truly blessed to have found a doctor who is excellent in her field and who has an incredible bedside manner. I would highly recommend her!

Dr Elkay spend hours with me to explain my child seizures, she showed my child's seizures, videos and the eeg. She did explained the options to help my child, she made me to be part of treatment team, and decide with her together. She is extremely dedicated, passionate doctor I have ever seen in my life. We love her.

My child is a very difficult case with intractable seizures. We have had several neurologists who were inaccessible always in a hurry or couldn't take the time to visit while on epilepsy monitoring unit. Some docs you couldn't get a human voice to answer the phone or the turn around time would be several weeks to months. Dr. Elkay is by far the best epileptologist we have ever had. She is thorough professional and polite to both patient and parents. She is on top of the latest treatments and trends in her field. I highly recommend her.
