Dr Eliason included both of us (my wife joined me) in every step of the procedure from the minute he entered the room to the time we departed. He was very informative and encouraged our questions. Even though this was a fairly routine procedure for a doctor of his experience, he was informative, thorough and engaging.

Dr. Eliason is my favorite doctor. While sometimes you have to wait a bit in the exam room, it's easy to understand why when seeing him. He thoroughly explains what is happening and why, then goes through the options to treat it. He asks permission before he does anything, which I've never had a doctor do. He's friendly, informative, and truly shows he cares for you the moment he steps into the exam room. I don't mind a little longer wait to see him if he's giving everyone the level of care and attention I received.

Dr. Eliason thoroughly explained everything he was doing during my exam. He was prompt and professional and willing to answer all questions. He updated mychart with the test results and called on a Friday evening to discuss treatment options. He's also taking a more conservative route to treat the pre-cancer he found on my forehead. I trust him and would recommend him to anyone.
