I have been going to Dr. Elder for years. He's a great dentist, but more importantly than that, he is kind and patient. If there is a problem, he explains what he sees, and what that might mean as a clinical diagnosis in terms I can understand. There are often several possible treatments and he explains them all clearly, with the differences between them. The decision on what to do is made together. The staff in the office are all extremely considerate and gentle. Altogether, they care about me, and that makes a tremendous difference.

In the fifteen years or so that I have been going to Dr. Elder’s office I have always found it to be a good experience. Dr. Elder is very knowledgeable, listens and explains well, and is sensitive to making one’s visit as pleasant as possible. The staff is very warm and friendly and I have always been seen in a timely manner.

I’ve never seen a doctor better with kids. All four of my children, with their different personalities, love Dr Elder as a dentist and a person. For 20 years he has earned the trust of our family, made the kids feel safe when they were nervous, always stands by his work, and doesn’t “over-prescribe” treatment. He does what needs to be done and does it well.

Dr Elder is very professional, He is very patient, very thorough and very kind. He is not just a dentist, he can fix problems and mistakes that other dentists have made and give you back the mouth and the bite that you once had. When I have a question he listens and understands and explains things His staff is as nice and pleasant as he is. There is no waiting, every procedure is on time .
You will not find a better dentist in this valley. I am happy to recommend him.
