Dr. Elias earned his Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Microbiology at the University of Central Florida. He graduated from medical school at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL. He completed a three year Family Practice Residency at Florida Hospital, where he served as Chief Intern.
He is the past Medicine Section Chairman at Florida Hospital Altamonte and past Florida Hospital Family Medicine System Chairman for all campuses.
Dr. Elias has lived in Altamonte Springs since he was 6 years old. Dr. Oakley moved to Orlando from Fort Lauderdale. "We met in medical school and did our residency together, he begged me to date him" states Dr. Oakley with a smile. They got married, opened a practice together, and now have two children. "Since we were able to do our residency in Orlando, we are familiar with our consultants, some even mentored us." states Dr. Elias. Not only knowing consulting physicians for office referrals, Dr. Elias also works closely with local consulting physicians in the hospital. This office truly is "our family caring for your family".
