Patient Review
-June 2nd 2026It was a very good visit from the receptionist at the beginning, the nurses, the doctor, and the checkout person. Everything went very well. I was very pleased. Dr. Elkins-Smith, I've been going to her for years. I trust her with my life, and she never lets me down. She's very good, as is her nursing staff. Thank you. Goodbye.Patient Review
-May 27th 2026Dr. Elkins Smith has been my physician for several years and she's never failed me yet. She's always been right on the ball and always takes time to listen to whatever I'm trying to ask her and whatever. So I would recommend her to anyone as being a great doctor. Thank you very much. Bye.Patient Review

Patient Review
-March 30th 2026The place is too cold. You need to heat that building up a little bit. I know you keep it cool because of germs, but this is ridiculous as cold as it is in there. -
Patient Review
-March 25th 2026I think Dr. Elkins-Smith is a great doctor. My only problem is I think the waiting room is too small. People sitting in there are too close together. And if someone is sick, it's going to spread it to the whole room, which I do not appreciate. But besides that, she's great. Her nurses are great. I mean, I've been going to her for years. And I did recommend her to somebody yesterday, which shows you how much I appreciate her. -

Patient Review
-January 13th 2026Her office is extremely far to get to. Fortunately, the staff come down and got me in a wheelchair and took me up and brought me back down. It would be nice if you have people downstairs at valet that could do that for you because I was unable to have any family come with me. And normally where she was before, I didn't have any trouble getting in or out of the office. That's not the case now. So it would be helpful if that could be sort of arranged or fixed. Thank you so much. -
