Nov 2024This will be my 2nd upcoming surgery with Dr Elieson. He's very personable, approachable. Always recommend him to friends & co-workers who are probably looking at surgery in the stomach area.Oct 2024Dr was very good at the explanations, and took time to ensure I understoodOct 2024Dr. Elieson was very thorough in his explanation/description of surgical options, provided his opinion of which one would probably be best for my condition and has left me to make the decision regarding my preference. He is very personable and I truly appreciate his knowledge and candor. He made sure all my questions were answered and asked me to contact his assistant if I think of any others.Oct 2024Except for the long wait, my experience with this physician and his office has been excellent. The long wait does not concern me because he spends so much time making sure I have all the details and understand what the surgery will entail. And I am sure he does this with all his patients, so no issue! All the staff I encountered seemed happy and were most efficient and helpful (which is so very appreciated since other physician offices I encounter are neither efficient nor helpful)Oct 2024Dr. Elieson was knowledgeable, thorough, and spent a considerable amount of time with me during my visit.
