Today’s Special Message

Many of my patients find it difficult to come in to the office with their busy schedules and daily routines. I am proud to announce that a very special registered nurse, Raini Walker, whom I trained in cosmetic procedures with emphasis on fillers and Botox will be available for those who desire treatment on Saturday mornings. Appointments are necessary and can be made by phone at 615-441-5227 or on my website Drmelvinelson.com.

For those who wish a consultation with me via the internet that is also now available. I will be happy to consult with you regarding your needs for enhancement of your features or can help with dermatologic problems. It would be easier if you have Skype so that I can see what is needed in live time or other methods can be arranged if necessary.

I am still available for consultation and treatments at the office in Burns, affectionately known as the “blue house.”

Our goal is to make ourselves available to you in the most convenient way possible for you and remain at your disposal.

The post Today’s Special Message appeared first on Dr. Melvin Elson - Official Website.
