Patient Reviews
May 19, 2022
I was referred to Dr Elmer in pursuit of fixing strabismus that was slowly creeping back after years of an attempt to fix it during childhood. He answered all of my questions in great detail, & was very reassuring. Sweet disposition & nurturing bedside manner, but most importantly, the end result of the surgery exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend…
