Practice Focus
I have always known I wanted to help others through medicine and have been working in the medical field for 11 years. After beginning my career by spending four years as an Emergency Medical Technician in a busy inner city ER in Washington, DC, I pursued and completed my Physician’s Assistant degree from South University in Tampa in 2013. I then specialized in Neurosurgery in a Level 1 Trauma Center in DC. While working there, I gained expertise in Neurocritical Care and worked with Neurological patients with a large variety of surgical and non-surgical issues. After 5 years of working as a Surgical Physician’s Assistant in DC, I moved to Minnesota to join the Minneapolis Clinic of Neurology in September of 2018. I now work closely with Dr. Zubkov treating General Neurology patients, Stroke patients, and patients with Vascular Neurological issues. We take care of all our patients through a holistic approach and treat disease through a variety of methods with strong consideration given to lifestyle and nutrition improvements.
Patient Testimonials
Elena is professional, knowledgeable, and personable. We appreciated our visit with her. Wonderful care there. Great doctors and staff. Good experience. Elena is a great listener, and you can tell she “has your back”. She asks the right questions, she takes the time to explains things when I register confusion, she cares about your quality of life. She doesn’t begin an appt with her agenda, ticking off boxes, but not really listening to you. I really enjoy working with her. Elena Puig listened carefully and showed sincere care. MCN ability to shift to virtual visits, while still providing a high level of care & concern, is appreciated. I have always received great care at This clinic. Dr. Zubkov, Elena and all the support staff are top notch in their care for the patients.
