Tremendous visit - as always - with Dr. Elkus and his staff. His staff is the icing on the cake, to me. Whenever I recommend Dr. Elkus, and several of my friends have used him, I always conclude by telling them that he as ZERO turnover in his staff for all the years I have been going to see him. Over the years, Dr. Elkus has treated me for several minor injuries, but in 2018, he rebuilt my shoulder and every that could have been wrong with it, was. Today I dig post holes regularly, punch in T posts, and have built two horse ... read more

Dr. Elkus is an outstanding surgeon who shows a high level of care and compassion to his patients. He made sure to discuss all options (I already knew the only option was replacement) and provided all documentation covering the replacement. He also worked me into his schedule quickly as I had been dealing with this issue for a couple of years. Dr. Elkus was the last person I saw before being put under and the first person when I woke up. My only regret was seeing another orthopedic surgeon a year before I saw Dr. Elkus. His ... read more

I had a complete hip arthoplasty from Dr. Elkus in July, 2022. As with my total knee replacement in 2017, he gave me much printed material with drawings! I was encouraged to call the office with any questions, which I did, and received clear explanations or information. Dr. Elkus has a carefully planned surgical protocol which brings the best results. I trust his judgment and skill implicitly. At 84, I am healing well and experienced almost no pain. I have my mobility back, so life is definitely looking up! I recommend Dr. M... read more

Dr. Elkus performed outstanding total knee replacement surgery in May, 2022. Recovery has been trouble free and I am able to complete so many tasks that previously were impossible or very painful to accomplish. Dr. Elkus is a highly capable surgeon and a master at joint replacement. Additionally, his office staff members are consistently helpful and are always pleasant. This entire process has been positive with an excellent outcome. I am very fortunate to have had Dr. Elkus complete this knee replacement surgery.

I've seen Dr Elkus several times for an arthritic knee. Everyone in the office -receptionist, techs, nurses - are very efficient, caring and professional. The whole visit went very smoothly each time. Dr Elkus spent time listening to my history and symptoms, laid out treatment options, and made referrals.

Dr Elkus is the best. He calmed my nerves when I asked many questions. I knew I’d selected the right surgeon after my initial visit. My knee replacement was so easy and it’s so fantastic to not be living in pain 24/7.

Dr Elkus did an emergency hip replacement due to blood supply had been cut off to my right hip and the joint was necrotic. I have had no problems despite the shape the hip was in prior to surgery. Dr Elkus sent me to Lakeshore for a few days then home for out pt PT/OT. I am doing well and looking forward to a left knee replacement in a few months after I am completely recovered from my recent surgery. I would recommend Dr Elkus to anyone facing orthopedic surgery.
