Meet Dr. Elchahal

Hello, my name is Dr. Alec Elchahal. My goal in life is to bring more stunning smiles to Atlanta, Georgia, and I’ve decided it’s time to reach out join the social networking ranks. I’m excited to connect on a more personal level with patients and friends!

Now for a little bit about me: I love food of all kinds, but I especially enjoy Thai cuisine. One of my favorite pastimes is trying new restaurants. Currently, my top picks in Atlanta are Nan and Vinny’s. I also really like Cinco’s in Alpharetta.

Perhaps my love of food has led to my love of travel, or perhaps it is the other way around. Either way, I like exploring new regions and tasting all kinds of culinary delights. Some of the best places I have ever visited are Brazil, Italy, and Tahiti. I love the beaches and the people, and did I mention the food?

Sometimes I want a vacation but I don’t want to leave the Atlanta area, so I stay and enjoy the city as if I were a tourist – a “staycation”. Hands down my favorite spot to staycation in Atlanta is the W Hotel in Buckhead. It’s particularly fun when the Braves are in town during my stay and I can cheer on my favorite Atlanta sports team.

When I am in the mood for some down time, I love relaxing with my family. My wife, Marlo, and I have two beautiful children, Ryan and Lilya. We enjoy watching movies together, and all-time winners in my book are Braveheart and Legends of the Fall. I also always enjoy listening to some good acoustic guitar.

If you think of anything else you want to know, just ask, and thanks for stopping by!
