I had a very disappointing and honestly concerning experience with Dr. David Elliott.
I came in with ongoing symptoms and a known gallstone, after experiencing multiple attacks over several months. Despite this, my concerns were dismissed and my lab results were misinterpreted. I was reassured that my symptoms were not related to my gallbladder as he "has been doing this 30 years and is board certified."
After leaving the appointment, I immediately went to the ER, where I was diagnosed with an inflamed and infected gallbladder and had to undergo emergency surgery to have it removed.
I also felt that I was not taken seriously and that there may have been bias based on my medical profile which made the experience even more frustrating and upsetting.
This situation could have been handled very differently with more careful evaluation and attention to my symptoms. Instead, it led to unnecessary escalation and an emergency procedure.
I would strongly encourage others to seek a second opinion if they are experiencing similar symptoms. read more
