I can't say enough about Dr. Elborno...I was really scared and had so much anxiety going in for my hysterectomy and after talking with her before my procedure a huge amount of that anxiety was gone. Her bedside manner is something I haven't seen in a very long time. She is thorough, relatable and just so down to earth not to mention her work...top tier. I am very grateful that she was the one to preformed my surgery!

Dr. Elborno is an incredibly kind physician. She is always so welcoming, sweet, and empathetic. She listens, and she cares. She doesn't just give up if there isn't a clear path forward. She understands the complexity of the human body & many different health conditions (including those that may not be common) - and in doing so she also understands the varied experiences, presentation, and nuances that a patient may have.

Dr. Elborno herself is an outstanding physician. She truly listens, makes me feel safe, and demonstrates a high level of professionalism and expertise. She is prompt, efficient, and up to date with modern medicine. What sets her apart is her collaborative approach_she works with me on my plan of care rather than imposing what she thinks is best. I have never had a doctor who genuinely cares, follows through on what she says, and consistently prioritizes the patient's well-being like Dr. Elborno does. Likelihood to recommend: I would highly recommend Dr. Elborno to anyone seeking an OBGYN who combines exceptional skill, warmth, and genuine patient-centered care

Dr Elborno is always kind thoughtful and takes time with all of her patients. I won't forget during my first pregnancy- she was the one who took care to explain risk and benefits of induction carefully, which led to me understanding much more and made way for a beautiful birth with my son. Again, with my second pregnancy she is a trusted provider who I feel comfortable speaking with and voicing any worries with.

This was the first time I have met Dr Elborno but I really enjoyed my experience. I can't give a 10 as I can't speak to her care outside of my 10 min appointment / interaction with her, but she was very thorough and thoughtful in addressing my questions and speaking to where I am at in pregnancy. She made me feel heard and comfortable and validated in any questions I wanted to ask

Dr. Elborno is absolutely amazing. If every doctor at NWM was of the same caliber, I would never have a negative comment about my experience. She takes the time to listen, explain, clarify and genuinely understand patient needs and care. After being dismissed by other doctors at NWM, Dr. Elborno was the only one who took the time and care to help me.
