Cardiology Testimonials
"Dr. Elkin sees his patients as a complete body, and supports the idea that his patients partner with him in deciding the best ways of preventing and treating disease. He has given me the option of preventing disease today, rather than just treating it later."
- S. Martinez
"My decision to become Dr. Elkin’s permanent patient was based on his focus of preventing problems before they occur through service, information and training. My life has been enriched by his philosophy of medicine, professional guidance and caring."
- M. Lacey
"Dr. Elkin’s approach is very simple. He wants to treat you before something serious happens. His mission is for you to avoid a heart attack or stroke. I would highly recommend Dr. Elkin to anyone who wants to start a prevention program"
- B. Martin
"Dr. Howard Elkin’s specialty is cardiology, but he treats more than the heart of the patient."
