PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
ANGELA F. | Ann Arbor "Dr. Elder is always punctual, and explains everything to me patiently and thoroughly. I never felt rushed or pressured in any of my interactions with him. His gentle and caring manner not only makes me feel comfortable with him but it honestly makes me feel like he cares for me as an individual" MICHELLE | Royal Oak "I am writing to express my gratitude towards Dr. Elder and his staff. After a recent examination Dr. Elder found an abnormal result. He immediately scheduled me for follow-up testing which ended up being negative. Dr. Elder personally called me to relay the good news and provide a detailed explanation of my health status in a way that helped relieve all the anxiety I had about my condition. Dr. Elder's commitment to his patients and the conscious effort he makes to personally overseeing his patient's care is the reason why my mother and I refuse to see any other doctor" JENNIFER S. | Birmingham, MI MR. ROBERT H. | May 07, 2009 | Listen to Full Interview "I would like to compliment Dr. Elder and his cardiac team. I had no symptoms of heart disease before I had my heart attack. I arrived by ambulance and the cardiac team was ready for me. They immediately got me to the cath lab, and everything they did was like clockwork. I knew about Cardiac Team One, so I told the EMT specifically where I wanted to go. I had read some articles about the statistics for prompt intervention after a heart attack. Everyone I have dealt with at Heart and Vascular Institute has been exceptionally informative and truly interested in my health. It has been first-class treatment!" BRENDA M. | May 07, 2009 | Listen to Full Interview "Dr Elder was recommended to me by my attending physician. We were told that he is one of the better people in cardiovascular care. I had chest pains and circulation problems in my legs. It was difficult to walk, and I was easily tired. While trying to walk, I would just collapse. Dr. Elder performed a balloon angioplasty and put in a medical stent. The improvement is fantastic! The shortness of breath is gone, and I am moving around much better. I have begun a cardiovascular treatment program, which includes exercise. Now, I feel like the six million dollar woman! I will recommend Dr. Elder to anybody in the world who is having a health problem. He is one of the people who did not just get his medical degree ~ he earned it, and it shows in everything he does! I appreciate Dr. Elder, and I always will." J. CLARK | April 21, 2009 "Dr. Elder is the best doctor I have ever met! I was very ill, and no one would help me. I had lost my job and had no insurance... and he treated me. I had heart blockage of almost 99% at the time, and he saved me; without having to cut me open! I trust Dr. Elder with my heart. He put stents in, and did all the medical procedures that allowed me to walk again. Before that, I could barely walk 5 to 10 feet, due to my poor circulation and shortness of breath. I recommend Dr. Elder to everyone needing a heart specialist. You can't help but love his kindness and patient care. I celebrated New Year's Eve with family and friends. No one could believe how well I looked! He is the best heart doctor: Number One to me!" CANDICE W. | May 18, 2009 | Listen to Full Interview "Dr. Elder cares about his patients and has everything you need right here at the Heart and Vascular Institute. I had a heart attack in March 2007, and was seeing another heart doctor. After experiencing more symptoms in November, I was hospitalized. I contacted my doctor, and she did not come to see me. I was treated by Dr. Elder while in the hospital, and decided to make an appointment with him afterward. I also saw my old doctor one last time after the hospitalization, and she told me she would see me in four months. Dr. Elder told me he wanted to make sure every area of my health was taken care of and began my interventional cardiology treatment program immediately. Dr. Elder truly cares, and he has been my heart doctor ever since!" |
