My entire experience from initial consultation to the day of surgery far exceeded my expectations. Dr Elborno did an amazing job with my surgery and setting expectation post-operatively. She even sent a note via MyChart two days after just to see how I was feeling. I know she has her hands full, so to take time out of her busy schedule to check in, that meant a lot. If you are looking for a doctor that is professional yet personal, great bed-side manners, kind, make the right diagnosis, takes her time in explaining even drawing the human anatomy just so that you can comprehend what she will be doing, then Dr. Elborno comes highly recommended.

Dr. Elborno was amazing! From the moment she walked in, I felt her good energy and was very chill, which helped calm my nerves. I immediately trusted her and I am confident I am in good hands with her and her team. She was very easy to talk to and explained everything in detail. I usually dread having a pap smear done because of how uncomfortable it has been for me in the past. However, I was shocked how gentle and fast she was with the procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Elborno.

The way she treated me as a patient was the best experience I've ever had with a doctor. She was empathetic and explained everything in a way that was easily understood. She was flexible with her schedule according to my circumstances. She understood the stress I was under and treated me like person, not just a patient. I wish she could be the only doctor I ever see.
