Meet Dr. Amber Elliott
surgeon / science nerd / idaho native / boy mom
About me:
As a Treasure Valley native (Go Broncos!), it’s always been my dream to return home—to practice medicine and raise a family in the same community that shaped me. I met my husband here, and today we’re raising four wonderful kids who keep life full and fun.
We love spending time outdoors—whether we’re camping, hiking, trail riding, or just exploring something new together. At home, you’ll usually find me cooking, jogging, cheering on the kids at their events, or planning our next family adventure. Living life to the fullest and creating meaningful memories with those I love is what brings me the most joy.
Through my work, I hope to help others feel their best—so they can fully enjoy their own lives, too.
Why did I name the business “Granite Mountain?”
The name, Granite Mountain Surgery came to me as I was thinking about what drives me. It is named after a place that has always been so dear to my heart. A place that makes me feel very alive, inspired, cared for, strong, and most importantly, happy. Being in the mountains has a way of making one feel strong but also humble. This namesake signifies to me the stamina, drive, and rewards of surgery that improve my patients’ wellbeing.
