Disrespect of our time. Two and half hours for a 7 minute visit for a shot in the eye. Our new doctor is 30/40 minutes from start to finish. And the new Dr has her eyesight improving. Dr Elman cares more about the $5,000.00 plus dollars he bills the insurance then he does about his patients. Otherwise he wouldn’t make all these people wait so long to see him. The staff reflects his attitude. The young male nurse got upset when my Mom leaned on him to get out of the chair. She was 94 years old. He said meanly that she was hurting his bad back. She weighs nothing. I bore you with the scheduling issues. There were many.
Dr Elman has a strict policy that he does not talk to patients relatives on the phone. We do not recommend Dr Elman at this practice. He’s practicing all for the wrong reasons$
