"Dr. Elder was one of the best doctors I've ever seen! His office staff and nurses were wonderful too!"

"My husband was referred to Dr. Elder for surgery on both his knees. Dr. Elder was straight forward and informative. Mark Rasmussen and Andrea at the Marion office were also very helpful and polite. My husband recently returned to work. He is satisfied with the results of both surgeries and we are both appreciative of Dr. Elder and his staff."

"I self-referred to Asheville Ortho for shoulder pain and was cared for by Mark Rasmussen. My experience with him and the Marion office was one of the best I've had in WNC. Dr. Rasmussen was very personable, offered thorough explanations, and provided knowledgeable administration of care, all of which has provided me more relief than I've enjoyed in years with range of motion and general comfort. Absolutely recommend!"

"I was referred to Dr. Elder due to shoulder issues. I saw him (& Mark) in the Marion office. Everyone is very polite in this office & l have never had much of a wait. Throughout the process, Dr. Elder was straight forward, gave me my options & the choice was always mine to decide when to pull the surgery trigger. No pressure from him at all. I am now 5mo post op & my shoulder is doing great. By seeing him in Marion, my procedure was at McDowell Hospital. Everyone working with Dr. Elder there & in his office is top notch & l'm guessing he wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you to Dr. Elder & the Marion staff."

"For eight years Mark Rasmussen and Dr.Elder have cared for me. I was wounded in Iraq in 2004, I have a lot of problems. From therapy to injections, these guys are the best. No one reading this knows me so you will have to show some trust. They care about you, the treatment and expertise is cutting edge as well. They care for my shoulders, hips, permanent tennis elbow and a body ruined by the infantry. I recently had bilateral pulmonary embolisms. So surgery is out for me. Mark still had options to help me. They have a pain management clinic as well. Get a referral and get to Asheville Orthopedic."
