S Elias Medicine

Dec 9th, 2022

I had been going to dr Elias since I was a kid, my entire family- grandparents and all go to her. But she does not like fat people, I completely understand doctors point of view when it comes to being over weight and for our health. However health concerns I had turned around to how much I weighted. Even as a preteen I didnt want to go to the doctors while sick, bc I knew she would make me feel bad. I recall a time she was doing a physical and while checking my lower stomach she lowered my pants with no warning or asking if my mom should leave the room- I was around 11/12 so I knew what privacy was. Because of this I constantly avoided going. As well, she encouraged my under eating when I was like 16/17. I was diagnosed with pcos and her only recommendation was putting me on metformin (encourages weight loss) not once did she mention birth control to me as an option to help regulate my cycle. As she assumed losing weight would be the only thing that would help my period, that didnt work lol. She fuelled my eating disorder, as returning to her after being on the medication for a while and I had very little weight change. We talked about my diet on a regular day. I told her that I was consuming around 1000 calories (not enough) a day, and what she told me. was to also cut out bananas from my diet bc of their sugar content. I will never forget that day. Switched doctors as soon as I was taken by another. Have had a much more pleasant experience since then!

Horrible, horrible doctor! NEVER EVER can accommodate to see you, even when you urgently need medical attention! For years now any time I tried to get in, could not make appointment she's never available or fully booked requiring me to go to walk in clinic. No passion about her work, never a smile does not seem to be showing any empathy. Walk in clinic doctors have looked after me more times over the years than my own "so called" family doctor. Her receptionists which she's been changing over and over are rude, inconsiderate. If you thinking getting under her care, think again! She wont be the doctor who will look after you or your family needs in keeping you healthy! In search for new family doctor... Fed up with her practice style that she can NEVER EVER EVER accommodate appointments!!!!!!
