Maurice Elihu, MD, a Los Angeles gastroenterologist, has received the annual Vitals' Top Ten Doctors award. This achievement is based on the reviews and ratings of millions of patients about local doctors, and factors in each doctor's knowledge, quality of care, efficiency of practice and bedside manner.

“This is a wonderful honor, and I am deeply grateful to my patients for their positive reviews,” said Dr. Elihu. “The satisfaction of my patients with their experience with me is important, and I plan to continue my practice with this in mind.”

Patients in the U.S. trust Vitals as their source for making informed health choices, and rely on Vitals to help them select the best health facility or doctor for them.
