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.

Dr Elert is extremely knowledgeable and a great diagnostician. I find his medical advice spot on! He communicates in a way to be easily understood, and it’s very obvious that he cares about his patients...And notibly, he spends as much time as necessary without being overly conscious about time spent.

Very poor experience with this doctor. Left me feeling like I was nothing more than an experiment. His wallet seemed more important. Didn't seem to listen well to my input. Just overall a bad experience. After 4 months I moved on.

Awesomely awesome. Knowledgeable, sound practice, patient focused (not insurance). Dr. Elert is perfect for the patient patient. Patience required because he books out solid. Dont plan on seeing him for urgent appointments and plan at least 2 months out for annual check up
