Currently, Elting is the Medical Director for Presidential Health Care Center, a private concierge medical practice that provides comprehensive “Presidential Physicals” including attentive advocacy, healthcare coordination, and primary care services. The Center is located in the premier medical office building in Northwest Washington, DC with on-site advanced imaging and laboratory services, and facilitated access to nearby Sibley Memorial Hospital, Johns Hopkins, MedStar, and a network of top subspecialists.

Patients receive a full year of uniquely Attentive Concierge Care and many other special services including high-tech imaging, sophisticated lab testing, advanced biophysical procedures, and 24-hour concierge care.

Elting's practice and "better than a body scan" motto is based on a study published in the renowned Journal of the American Medical Association, which demonstrated that Presidents live significantly longer than expected. Specifically, coinciding with the development of advanced preventive healthcare practices, modern Presidents have lived to an average age of 89, or 17 years longer than expected. Thus, Elting's quality services promote proven longevity.

Personal Life
Elting is married, has three daughters, and lives in the District of Columbia.
