Dr Ellman was realistic about his ability to solve my issue. He referred me to a trusted and proven specialist who responded positively to my case and Dr Ellman shared that new with me most promptly. As a result I left Reid in a positive frame of mind that day!

Yes, Dr. Peter Elman and his staff is very good. I've always had a good experience. I've never not liked going there. I will recommend him always to anybody that needs a good cardiologist at Reed's Heart Center. Good experience always. 10, 100 across the board.
