I would not recommend Dr Elias to anyone seeking oral-maxillo treatment. NEVER! Stay away. I have had to sue him. He has a soft spoken manner, which is totally deceptive and cunning. He completely destroyed my life. The work he performed has cost me dearly. It has made me utterly miserable and left me with a disability for life. Every top surgeon in NYC that has looked at my mouth feels sorry for my fate and future. It has cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars to remedy. As a matter of fact, they tell me ( behind closed doors) that he is known far and wide for his mistakes!
