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.

Don't know what to think
I had thyroidectomy over 13 years ago, and I was last maintained on Levothyroxine with alternating doses (0.150 mcg MWF, 0.137 mcg Su,Tu,Th, Sat) daily. At time of refill (6 months after last office visit and bloodwork) for the 0.150 mcg dose, the refill was denied. This was done without discussion or warning. Message left on Message Center asking for explanation was not responded to. Call to office 4 days later was not responded to. I have not been given any instructions as to what I was supposed to do about adjusting the medication nor was I instructed in any regard about follow-up bloodwork to evaluate thyroid levels after medication change.

He is the BEST of the Best! I'm so glad I found him years ago when I was looking for a PCD. Thank You for all you do DR. E The only reason I'm giving a 2 star for urgent appointment is because he he liked so much that everybody want to go to him.

I think he is an excellent diagnostician and has a great personality besides. What else could you want in a doctor.

I would not recommend Dr. Ehrensing to family and friends. We have tried to get in touch with him or his nurse and did not get a return phone call in 5 days. Have been very unhappy with the service the last few times we have called.
