In patients' words
"Dr. Douglas is dear to my heart. I was assigned to her when I was wanting to get pregnant at 42...and with her knowledge and skills she prescribed the right medications and saw me through the mental health part of it. At 44, I gave birth to my son with little complications. I will forever be grateful for her skill, experience, understanding and compassion. She is a top notch doctor!"
— Vitals review of Dr. Elaine J. Douglas"This place is only in business to make money & they DON'T CARE about the patients health. You spend more time in the waiting room then you do with the dr. They want you to take all these test so they can bill your insurance for it to make money."
