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.

Sweet Detailed and Knowledgeable
During my 1st pregnancy, there is not much issues so I didnt think of whom I would see would matter. Dr Erlich seems to go through the normal procedures as any doctors would during my visit. However, when I had a miscarriage, I have seen Dr Kahan whom had highly recommended D&C without even looking at my record. I am uncomfortable with unnecessary procedures, thus, I gone to Dr Erlich for a 2nd opinion. She actually look through my record, and assure that even if I were to take the pills shes highly confident I won't have any issues. And she was right! Since after that day, I always try to book with Dr Erlich. She is detailed, sweet, great bedside manner, actually look at patience's historic record! She truely remember and cares for her patients!

Not what I'm looking for
Looking for a new obgyn that was different from my last, but they were pretty much the same. Pretty old school, say too much about my borderline bmi- which I'm tired of, pushed extra treatments. Just not what I'm looking for.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Erlich where I felt she lectured me about my weight. As someone who has struggled with weight loss my entire life, it was a little off putting; especially since I lost 35 pounds right before I got pregnant. I went into labor earlier than expected and she was the on call doctor. I could not have been more pleased with my experience. I had a C-section and she was knowledgeable and efficient. I felt very comfortable and at ease with her. After surgery, she was very attentive to my needs.

Dr. Erlich is a hidden gem. She is the only reason I make the drive from Chicago to the suburbs, and the ONLY reason I chose to deliver my baby with Northwest Community Hospital instead of Northwestern Prentice Women's Hospital in Chicago. I will follow her anywhere she goes. She is compassionate, reasonable, and truly uses her brain to make the best decisions. She presents facts and information along with recommendations to me as a patient but ultimately lets me make decisions for myself and be in control of my own health journey. She is supportive and has always been accessible to patients, even outside of scheduled appointments which never feel rushed. During appointments, she discusses any concerns I might have, takes thorough notes, explains everything before doing it, and is comfortable to talk to, which is so important for women's health. She will call you when she says she will, even if outside of regular business hours and is truly dedicated to helping her patients!

I took my daughter to Dr. Erlich for a procedure. First, I have to say that she is the first gynecologist able to work with her and get her to return. She was phobic about the experience of annual exams. Then, when a procedure was warranted, she was as patient and kind as could be...with my daughter, and with me. Her follow up was complete. Her concern for my daughter very genuine. I am so very grateful for her good care and follow up.

Dr. Erlich is, by far, the best doctor I have had over the course of my life. She is brilliant, dedicated, kind, caring, compassionate, and honest. Dr. Erlich is genuinely interested in helping her patients and treats them with kindness and respect. Dr. Erlich has been my gynecologist for several years, and she also has my mom as a patient. She recently performed an outpatient surgical procedure on me, and she called me that same day to see how I was feeling and if I needed anything. She is so popular and is somewhat difficult to get in to see, but she was willing to stay late one day for an appointment just to accommodate me. In addition to all the wonderful qualities mentioned previously, Dr. Erlich is also very thorough in her explanations and takes her time to make sure all of your questions are answered. I appreciate Dr. Erlich and highly recommend her to anyone who is in search of an exceptional doctor as well as a wonderful human being who truly cares about her patients.

I've had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Erlich for over 9 years in the Northwest suburbs. Over the years I have moved farther away from her practice (over 50 miles) and I continue to see her. Her quality of service and care is impeccable! She truly knows her patients and provides the utmost care for us...which is why I have chosen to stay with her no matter the distance. If you want the best care you will not go wrong with her!

Dr. Erlich is a wonderful physician and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who's looking for a gyno/obg care. Dr. Erlich is warm, compassionate and very knowledgeable. As women we know that gyno exams are not the most pleasant ones but Dr. Erlich is very quick and gentle. She has a great bedside manner and always has time for your questions and concerns. Dr. Erlich is one of those doctors who truly care about their patients.

Dr. Erlich is the most wonderful doctor I have ever had. She's thoughtful, caring, and extremely efficient. She takes her time to listen to your worries and concerns, and then thoroughly explains your options, along with possible procedures, risks, or side effects. You never feel rushed. You feel like you're talking with a friend who truly cares for you and is looking out for your best interests. I have been going to Dr. Erlich for eleven years and I can't imagine going to anyone else!

I have seen Dr. Erlich for around 15 years and I think she is the best doctor out there! She has received many of awards as a ?Top Doctor? and she deserves them! She is smart, up to date on medical information, and is very compassionate. She successfully helped me with infertility treatment for my second child. I have seen her for GYN care for many years since. I have sent many family members and friends to her and they LOVE her. I can?t say enough good things about her!
