When diagnosed me , told me the expectations of what to expect before and even after the surgery. I liked he was straight forward and did not "sugar coat" it. I did everything he told me to do and had a very positive out come. I would recommend him to others because of his skill and bedside manner. I would go to him again. They also have a great therapy center. Ashley Becnel was wonderful. I have visited two other therapy centers and never experienced the high level of care she gave me. The entire experience from beginning to end was unbelievably wonderful. Thanks to Dr. David Elias and Ashley Becnel for the care you provided.
