Patient Reviews
Mar 19, 2021
I stumbled upon Dr. Elder out of necessity a few years back. I showed up with 3 pages of documents I had kept about my symptoms. She read through them all, asked a lot of questions, and then ordered up the necessary bloodwork. She had an idea what my issue was and turns out she nailed it. I have continued to go back to her since. I feel she listens and also lets me have an opinion on my care. There is nothing more frustrating than a condescending provider. Dr. Elder is not like that at all.

About Me

Care Philosophy
  • I believe that healthcare is not about what your doctor can do for you, but what you and your doctor can do together as a team. My job is to ensure that patients have the information they need to make informed decisions about their health. I enjoy caring for the entire family at different stages in life. The most rewarding part of my day is working with and encouraging patients as they make healthy lifestyle choices.
