I used to focus on ‘Why me? But then I realized I’ve gained far more than I lost. Lisa Dowling's story

Dr. Elliott Patient Reviews

"There is no good time for an aneurysm, but I feel so fortunate that when it happened to me that Dr. Elliott was my neurosurgeon. I have no memory of the first few days following the aneurysm and it was my husband who met with my doctors. Dr. Elliott took great care to explain my condition and treatment options and my husband was assured that I was in good hands. Later when I met Dr. Elliott, I found him to be very knowledgeable and caring and I understood the trust my husband placed in him. My outcome was great and I owe a lot to CBSI."

Elisabeth Rivere

"Fabulous! I experienced no pain in the hospital and began driving the day after rehab ended! I now have complete mobility."

Diane Henry
Post Lumbar Fusion

"I had been experiencing facial spasms for 10 years when I began looking for an alternative to botox treatments. My neurologist, Dr. Bennett Mechanic, referred me to Dr. Elliott of Colorado Brain and Spine Institute, who he described as the "best of the best". During my appointment with Dr. Elliott, he was very kind to me and explained the procedure in great detail giving me the confidence to undergo treatment. The prospect of having brain surgery is scary and yet the entire staff at CBSI treated me with such kindness that I was immediately put at ease. The surgery was a success and I'm doing great!"
