Elbendary Alaa A MD, Creve Coeur MO

He is good at what he does no doubt but fat Shames and has absolutely no bedside manner. Doesn't answer questions. If it wasn't for his staff I can't imagine a lot of people would return. I just thinks he needs some more compassion. It can go such a far distance

I was referred to this Dr. I wish I could have picked my own. He’s not very friendly, I had a few questions for him, he replied back, now I lost my train of thought. I was so scared after he said that. I didn’t want him operating on me, but I had to. I actually learned more of what was going on through MyChart online. That’s where I could read things that he wrote, that I was never told from him. I never feel comfortable in his office. I asked a question before I left on my last appointment.as I walked away, I could hear his staff talking about me. Unfortunately, I have another appointment soon. I hope it’s my last, because I never want to come back here again…

My mother is going to him and I wanted to ask a few questions. So I started to and the second I asked about any alternative type of treatment he immediately got offended and tried to argue with me. He comes off very egotistical and wouldn’t explain himself then he pretty much stopped the conversation. It feels like the only thing he cares about is doing what benefits him and only him. I’m now trying to get my mom to go somewhere else. I have absolutely NO trust in this guy whatsoever.

I was Dr. Elbendary’s patient for 6 years. With the fast moving cancer I have I should not be here. Because Dr. E is such a great doctor I am. I would recommend him to anyone if they want their best chance at living. He doesn’t participate in clinical trials as his office is to small that is the only reason I had to leave.

To the point, he's GOOD! Keep in mind though, that there is a VERY FINE LINE between confidence and arrogance. He fixed my problem and that's what matters!

Very good doctor! Had my surgery, checked on me, boom home and feel great! Good work!
