Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been seeing Dr Ernst for a very long time, so if I was not comfortable with her doctoring skills, that would not be the case. She has my utmost trust, she is very thorough, checks to make sure I am getting the necessary and recommended care for my medical issues and age and I feel at ease bringing up any concerns I might have. I have recommended her to 3 people who definitely wanted to come on board, but evidently she is no longer taking on new patients.

Dr Ernst is seriously the best. She has delivered both my girls and treated me since 2016. I will not see anyone else if I don't have to. She saw my anxieties before I did and was able to treat them quickly.

I discussed with my doctor that I was constantly getting headaches, which is definitely rare for me and that I was really concerned because a year ago, I had been treated with chemo cream for a sore on my head that had pre-cancerous cells. She scheduled me for a cat scan, which was a relief and thankfully it was normal. I truly appreciated the fact that my doctor had her staff call me the same day (Friday) with the results instead of waiting until Monday. Just one more reason I love, respect and appreciate my doctor.

I have seen Dr. Ernst for over 25 years. She knows me and I don't have to explain my history. We problem solved to come up with a solution or treatment. I highly recommend her as a Physician. Top notch.

Dr. ERnst is one of the most knowledgeable, caring Doctors I ever had. When I am with her she takes care of just if she would take care of a family member. She absolutely rocks.

Not thoughtful or caring
She doesn’t remember her patients, even ones that have been going to her for years. She prescribed a medication that had known side effects with another she prescribed. Caused a cascade of events until an actual dr reviewed the medications Dr Ernst should never have prescribed together. When we asked the pharmacy why they didn’t alert us, they said they alerted Erst. She didn’t care. If I could score lower I would. She caused irreparable harm.

I love Dr Ernst and still go to her even after moving to GI. She's saved my life before by diagnosing kidney cancer early on. At this visit, I showed her a black mole & she removed it that day. I'm so grateful to her for her dedication!
