Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent review
Dr. Elliott is an excellent surgeon. He always presented as a caring, compassionate professional and never without a smile on his face. He did total knee replacement on both my knees. First knee was done October 2023 second knee done January 2024. Both times I was able to be full weight bearing without aid within a week and very little pain. Seems to take pride in his work and it shows with excellent outcomes. Would highly recommend Dr. Elliott to anyone needing an orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Curtis has Elliott
I have rheumatoid arthritis as well as osteoarthritis. I am 80 years old. Dr. Elliott has been my orthopedic doctor for the last 4 years treating me for a broken bone and implants due to wear and tear on my joints over my active lifetime. He listens to me and answers my questions.

Excellent review
Dr. Elliott is a very knowledgeable and caring doctor. He did a knee replacement in November of 2023 on my 84 year old mom. She has done amazing. He prepared her for the surgery with information from the beginning until after surgery. The easiness of the surgery was amazing including very little pain. She was up the same day of surgery and doing physical therapy. My mom has told everyone what a great doctor he is. She is already considering her left knee replacement in the future.

Patient
Dr Elliot has replaced my right shoulder and repaired my left rotator cuff. He listened to me and studied my MRI and X-rays, even showing them to me with an explanation of what it showed. He is an excellent surgeon that takes extra care with your recovery. I have been extremely pleased to have him as my orthopedist and surgeon.

post sugery
Dr.Elliott is a very competent surgeon. My surgery was scheduled for September 16,2023, but was cancelled, twice, because A custom one had to be made. Each time he called to let me know he would proceed, when the joint became available. Preop and post-op procedures were thouoghly explained to me,and the expected outcomes.Since surgery I have completed my therapy,and continue to exercise at home. I have good range of motion in my right arm, most days no pain, when I do it is only a 2-3. I have good sthrength in that arm.I think that DR.Elliott is the best surgery, and if I need orthopedic surgery again, I would choose him

Exaggerated issues
Dr Elliot was friendly but was adamant I needed knee replacement for a recent injury to knee. I felt it was a meniscus tear as I had had in the beginning of other knee. He said it was too late for any arthroscopic surgery or physical therapy which didn’t sound right to me. Got a second opinion and glad I did!

I would highly recommend Dr.Elliott to anyone. He is an excellent orthopedic dr. He listens to you and is very knowledgeable about all procedures. I broke my humorous bone in my right arm. He used a new apparatus to prevent me from having surgery. My arm is just like new. I do not have any problems with it. I also have a problem with my knee. He used a injection of gel and it is working. I am so thankful that he is my Orthopedic dr. If you need an orthopedic dr., he is the one. On a scale of one to 10. I give him a 10. Ten bring the highest.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Elliott to anyone needing an excellent ortho surgeon. He is extremely professional and very adamant about all procedures being followed precisely. Takes extreme pride in his work and it shows. The scar on my shoulder following complete replacement surgery is hardly visible and it was even after the surgery. Takes the time to explain all that is needed to give you assurance of all procedures. Great doctor!

Having plain in by knee for years. Got to the point where I can't sleep without elevating my knee. Told him when sitting my knee hurts bent or when straight out. Told him walking to much hurts and I have to put pressure on my knee cap and pop it to stop the pain. I tried to tell him I wear an elastic knee support to keep pressure on my knee to stop the pain but its not helping like it was but he cut me off and wouldn't let me finish. He tells me that its arthritis. Said there is a billed up behind and to one side of my knee cape. Doesn't tell me to take anything for the pain but not to crawl around with out knee pads, avoid squatting and put ice on it. He said to keep my knee straight to stop the pain. Don't put anything under my knee because that would make it hurt. When I tried to tell him that he had it backwards about what helped and what didn't he just looked at me, smiled and walked out of the room and closed the while I was still talking. Gave me a shot and come back in 6 months
