He explained everything to me and my dad, and was able to do my surgery. After surgery, he checked up on me and told me how the surgery went. During every follow up, Dr. Elkin always assured me everything is going well, and that I was healing well. Other than the hematoma build up, which needed another surgery to drain it. But Dr. Elkin again told me what the surgery would be like, and he has been one of my supporters throughout my healing process and recovery. If it wasn't for Dr. Elkin and his team I would be in soo much pain. But today is a little over 5 months since surgery and I have gained most of my range of motion back, and I am able to do normal stuff again without it hurting my elbow. Everyone at the Salem and Keizer offices are really nice and they take care you and answer questions and concerns you have. read less - April S. - 3/21/2020

I was so discouraged by the time I got here and met with Dr. Elkin I didn’t have much hope. After just one appointment with Dr. Elkin and the wonderful staff here the 11+ months of disappointments and fear that I would have to live with this injury forever were put to rest. Every person I have had the pleasure of interacting with throughout this process so far have been nothing less than wonderful, kind, patient, understanding, caring, awesome... the list could go on. I am very grateful for all of the people at Hope Orthopedics for going above and beyond to make sure I got the best treatment possible. Thank you. read less - Sean K. - 2/11/2020
