Dr. Elam was wonderful at making my child feel at ease during the examination. She usually is afraid of anything that has to do with doctors. He took his time to listen and explain everything.

The doctor was very knowledgeable and knew how to explain things without using medical terms that I don’t understand. He also gave good advice. I will bring my oldest son to him as well.
