Philosophy:
Dr. Bruce Elliott believes we choose our careers based upon important people in our lives in one way or another such as a family member, Sunday school teacher, or a mentor in one form or another. Dr. Elliott was fortunate as a young man at several points in his life to have several people like to touch his life and inspire him to become a surgeon. Dr. ElliottâÂÂs patient philosophy is fairly conservative and believes in a very minimalist, simplistic approach to things. He believes the body is a wonderful creation and has amazing capacities to heal itself if you donâÂÂt get in its way. Dr. Elliott has found that treating patients with a minimalist approach helps patients to do better in the long run. Dr. Elliott treats conditions such as Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) .
