Dr. Elgin is my favorite doctor. He's gracious, he's on time, he talks to me not the computer in front of him. I have worn glasses since I was five yrs old, and now at age 76 I don't. He's a miracle worker. I have been going to him almost 10 yrs and recommend him to others every chance I get. He's absolutely the best.
