Dr. Elma has been wonderful since my time as a patient with him. He listens and gives good advice and is very caring. I feel I’m making progress in my personal life because of him!

Donna S • January 30, 2025

Excellent Dr. Takes you right on time and is very compassionate.

Marcia N • January 16, 2025

Elmer is great. Fulfills all of my requests very quickly and treats me like a person not a patient, acknowledging that if we're crazy, we're still, not, "that" crazy. A nice guy and he has good sense, which is very important in a doctor. I would recommend.

Alan M • January 03, 2025

I’ve had several psychiatrists in the past, but none compare to Dr. Elma. He is incredibly responsive, even answering my calls outside of working hours. What truly sets him apart is his approach—he doesn’t just prescribe medication but focuses on uncovering the root causes of mental health issues. He listens attentively and asks insightful questions to fully understand your situation. In just two weeks of seeing him, I already feel significantly better. Dr. Elma’s care feels like a perfect balan

Meryem M • December 14, 2024

I have been a patient of Dr. Elma's for nearly a year. He has helped me transition from a severely anxious, depressed and ultimately suicidal human, into a 100% healthy and fully functional human being. I am for the first time in my life free of all mental health symptoms and I would highly recommend him to anyone that cares to sk and listen. Thank you Dr. Elma!!

James G • December 03, 2024

I have had 3 visits with Dr Elma, 2 virtual and one in person. I can honestly say that i am very pleased with my experience so far. He is very thorough and honest and doesn't leave any stones unturned. He wont just tell you what you want to hear, he is going to tell you what is actually best for you in his experienced opinion. He has brought things to my attention that make a-lot of sense about why i may do certain things that i have not even considered. Would highly recommend.

Wayne S • November 23, 2024

I always come away from Dr. Elma’s thorough, thoughtful and intuitive engagements with better insight into myself and tools to participate in my own ADHD recovery. And because he also gives me reinforcement, I am no longer confused and frustrated as to why I can’t control my thoughts and actions entirely on my own-without being willing to dig in and do the work. Combined with proper medication, I am hopeful that a comprehensive solution will improve my quality of life.

Marcia N • August 01, 2024
