I am so sorry to read about the passing of Dr Elkins It has been 23 years since i worked in his office as a dental hygienist. It saddens me to know of his passing. Not only was he a great dentist but he made coming to work fun. I have fond memories of working with Dr Elkins and Renee. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
