During the COVID-19 pandemic, our office seeks to improve a patient's health by permitting two-way, real time interactive communication between the patient and Dr. Elkus.
If you desire telemedicine (internet type) interaction, please contact office to schedule appointment.
Once you have telemedicine appointment scheduled, you can enter virtual waiting room by clicking icon below or follow your email instructions.
We accept most major insurance plans.
Please call the office in advance to make an appointment. Unfortunately, we are unable to take "walk-ins."
We make every effort to decrease the cost of your medical care. Therefore, we request payment arrangements for all office services at the time they are rendered. We accept cash, checks, and most credit cards. If we are a participating provider of your insurance company, we will bill them. However, payment is the patient's responsibility. We will help in any way we can to assist you in handling claims.
