Mostly this is in response to J.H.; But everyone needs to know. Dr. Elman is AMAZING! Very kind and caring to a fault!! -Hence the reason for the long waits probably on 60% of your visits. You see Dr. Elman and his associates are specialists in every sense of the word. Specialist to a point where often they are the ones who can save someone's eyesight THAT very day, but only if they are seen right away. TRUST ME his associate saved my eyesight in December of '23 when a detached retina popped up out of nowhere. His "Lazy staff"(as you described them) knew to get me in there that day! My wife has been a patient for decades. She can see because of him. And that took a lot of "specialized knowledge". Knowledge, he has, coupled with a soul that cares too deeply and will not turn anyone away.
Over the years I have sat with my wife -YES, often for hours on end, I have complained to Dr. Elman himself. But while sitting there I have seen the patients brought in who, like me, needed his skills and the skills of his associates, that very day. Else they would have lost sight in one or both eyes. They do their best to schedule to accommodate their patients. But they also have to work in the urgent calls they get on an almost daily basis. These urgent calls are often from nursing homes. Places where they have to arrange medical transportation for their patients. That transportation itself is another X factor in Dr. Elman's day. read more
