Cannot ask for better care. He knows what hes doing, he knows how to relate information to me in a professional and compassionate manner, and he is able to outline next steps in a very understandable way. He shows concerns for any questions that I may have, understands my concerns and answers any questions I may have with complete understanding and compassion. He looks upon this as a team effort, which I really appreciate.3/22/2024 | BayCare Verified PatientGreat experience with Dr Elder, understands concerns and discusses next steps possible3/22/2024 | BayCare Verified PatientVery professional, clear explanations, very experienced, very efficient use of my time.3/13/2024 | BayCare Verified PatientThe staff is amazing. This past appointment with Dr. Elder felt extremely rushed. He spoke over me, failed to ask me if I had further questions and just seemed to want to sell me PRP. I had the injection 10 years ago and have a new injury. I didnt have a good experience last time and wanted to discuss how he thought this time would be different. He was very dismissive of my concerns. The only saving grace was his exercise physiologist, Missy, who spent more time with me.3/8/2024 | BayCare Verified PatientI do appreciate that once we were able to speak with him, he coordinated care with the ED closer to our home and made several follow-up phone calls to ensure I was OK.
