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.

Seen her twice as a walk in. No bedside manner. She says all these major frightening things and scares you to death for something that is very minor. Other doctors I’ve told have been completely shocked by her behavior.

I had an evist with her through northsure connection portal. She didn't listen to my symptoms at all. Because I already tested positive for covid she wrote it of as covid even though I get ear infections every year and I know what they fell like. I would never want her as my doctor.

Very knowledgeable and smart with a nice sense of humor. I went in with a set of odd symptoms and she correctly diagnosed shingles. I wish I could her as my internist, but she only works emergent car.

Went to a walk In clinic for stomach pain and she wanted to do a pelvic exam. I wish I would have refused. She was extremely rough and it felt Unprofessional. She made me very uncomfortable and it felt unnecessary. Would not recommend this doctor.

Dr. Durst is an amazing doctor and an excellent diagnostician. She is very kind, gentle, trustworthy and down to earth. Her bed side manner is one that makes you feel comfortable because she listens to what you have to say and acts on it without making you feel anxious. I would highly recommend Dr. Durst to any patient, at any age.

Dr Durst is an exceptional diagnostician. After seeing several doctors for the same problem, she was able to figure out what was going on and give me directions on what to do in the future. She was thorough and had a great bedside manner. A very caring and compassionate doctor.

Horrible experience with this doctor. Went in for something minor and she turned it into a huge other problem. Which it wasn’t after all. She was extremely rough with my exam and I left crying and in more pain than when I went in.

We had a terrible experience with Dr. Durst. She was condescending and alarmist, suggesting a host of frightening reasons for what turned out to be a very minor issue.
