He is genuinely concerned about my health

I am satisfied with the care n treatment I received.

Dr. Elpedes is very welcoming and I'm comfortable speaking with him.

All good!

He did not study my health history and he did not know about my health. He was very nice and mostly he talked about how he treat his patients than letting me to say about myself. Maybe I am wrong, it was only my opinion. I am sure a lot of patients like him.

Dr. Elpedes is probably the best Dr. I have seen in a very long time. He took time with me and made me feel like he really cared about my health. So happy he is with Providence now where he can really care for his patients the right way.

No bad experiences, very pleased.

My appointment was at 4:00.1 arrived at 3:45. I got in his office at 4:17 and he told me he had 1 minute to see me because he had more appointments.I lake him but his time management is lacking

Dr Elpedes was a new doctor for me. He had reviewed my records before he came into the room and we had a nice discussion. He is very personable and seems very knowledgeable. I thoroughly enjoyed the visit and will feel very comfortable in his care moving forward. His staff was also very nice and very professional and seemed to enjoy their jobs.

The doctor did a lab test even though the call center had messed up and not scheduled me for it. I appreciate this as I didn't want to make another appointment and come back. The call center even had me going to the wrong address. The doctor was extremely patient and fit me in. He was very thorough and answered all my questions. I appreciate his help.

Dr. Elpedes was excellent. I had never seen him before, however he was easy to communicate with, knowledgeable and patient. I liked him very much.

As my primary doctor Is on leave until October [Date] 2024, Dr.Elpedes saw me, about the sciatica pain that I was having for a few days. I told him what I was taking and what I was doing and he showed me an exercise, to help relieve the pain, and told me I was treating it correctly with heat and Tylenol. He was very kind to write notes for me on what we went over before I left and it was printed out on my exit form. He listened to me and actually drew a picture of the sciatic nerve. He was very informative and I left knowing what to do to relieve the pain.

My experience was great.

Very caring and well informed doctor!

Dr.Elpedes is a really good doctor and I'm very fortunate to have him as a primary care physician for our family

My previous provider, Roxanne Stallworth left the practice and Dr. Elpedes was one she recommended. This was my first meeting with him. It can be hard to start with a new physician, but he was knowledgeable, kind, and attentive.

Very satisfied to continue with Dr. Elpedes, who has been my primary care provider for the past 16 years.

Excellent care and follow up.

Am a new patient and Dr did not spend enough time getting to know me. Kept saying that he was running late and could only address existing prescriptions that needed to be refilled. Will give doctor another chance before finding someone else who doesn't have to rush to get through my appointment. Schedule longer appointment times for new patients.

Didnt have to wait long and pretty friendly

He was very patient understanding this was my first visit with this provider. Thank you.

I felt Dr Elpedes was really listening to me. He was engaged in what I had to say and made appropriate adjustments to my medications. I'm already feeling better since following his recommendations.

I was treated by Doctor Elpedes at his last medical office, so I followed him to this new location. Doctor Elpedes is caring, full of integrity, and he does not alarm the patient. Doctor Elpedes is open to the patient's questions and gives a thorough check up.

This is my first time seeing Dr. Elpedes as I needed a medical clearance for an upcoming surgery. He was very friendly, professional, and attentive. I would consider using him as my family GP.

I know Dr Elpedes for a long time and followed him to this new facility. We had very good experiences with him. He took care of our issues all the time the best way we could expect. First time I went to this new facility and I am happy with quality of service at this new place.

I am a new pt. I had to see a MD as soon as possible for my problem and the MD I chose would not accept new pts. The office gave me a few name of MDs and I chose Dr. Elpedes. I am so glad that I chose one of the best. Unlike some MDs, he spent time and listened to every word I said, and became to a solution. He asked me questions and even paid attention to details. He did not show that he is in hurry, and rush me to talk fast. Thank you for having such a wonderful caring doctors.
