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.

The Best
Whether in her clinic, the OR, or hospital room, Dr. Cummins is excellence every step of the way. She has operated on me 4 or 5 times. I saw her in her clinic and my problem wasn’t an emergency. I did need to have it repaired surgically. I asked if I could check with my wife and call back to schedule. She agreed. After 2 or 3 days I hadn’t gotten around to calling her office. They called me and let me know that she was concerned due to potential serious problems. I scheduled. Dr. Cummins has a drive to heal. She’s the best!!

Great Surgical Care & Follow Up – Jan 22, 2024
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cummins?
Insensitive after surgery
Dr. Cummins is a good surgeon. Her actions post surgery caused me to cancel any further follow-up appointments with her. She demeaned and humiliated me during a follow-up exam and seemed neither to notice or care. It's a shame that such a good surgeon seems to care little for the human she's operating on.

She is a terrible doctor and as far as I’m concerned human being. Dr Cummins is in the wrong Profen for sure, she did 2 major surgeries on me and I got a bad infection I think due to her carelessness, her bedside manor is not good seems to busy to focus on the patient at hand, my belly button stays infected due to the way she cut me , I’ve developed 2 hernias because of her and I’ve chose me someone that I feel SAFE , I didn’t feel safe the second surgery and during my severe infection. She’s always in a rush and spends no time with you . I don’t think she should be able to keep practicing, I’m just a peon she’s rude and really doesn’t care , I was given no choice of who I wanted to do my first surgery I would not have chosen her, she did my sisters gastric bypass surgery my sister is dead , I went to every appointment with her and she had no concerns even after I informed her my sister was no following the plan , well I’m so relieved I don’t have to put my life in her hands . Karma

Dr. Cummins is extremely compassionate and really care for her patients. When everyone else wouldn't listen she never gave up. For my mother-in-law Dr. Cummins found the issue, performed a heck of a surgery AND made sure the hospital kept her until the rehab facility was ready to take her. She did NOT rush us in and out like so many healthcare providers do today! We are forever grateful for Dr. Cummins!

Valori in Brookhaven – Sep 29, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cummins?
She has no bedside manner. She came into my sisters room to dress her wound and began with no bandages. She was clearly irritated by some text messages on her phone. She handled my sisters wounds without care to pain she was causing. She put medicine that she could not have due to hyperbaric chamber. Something she should have known. Do not use her.

Dr. Cummins is an excellent doctor. Speaking as an older (mature) patient, her thoroughness in the details of my health set me at ease. Her reputation as the best was repeated over and over to me during any discussion when the subject of my pending surgery was topic of conversation among new acquaintances of the bariatric world. Her abilities to help people in living a better life is certainly appreciated by this patient for sure.

I had a gastric bypass in March 2016. Before my surgery I had some questions and concerns and she was the first to set me up with a specialist to give me the answers I needed to proceed. 2 months after surgery,i was brought in due to some bleeding ( nothing to do with the surgery) but Dr Cummins was there everyday checking on me. She and her staff have been wonderful. They are honest and up front. She gave me back my life. I can't say enough good things about her. Very highly recommended!!

I have had a very positive experience with Dr. Erin Cummins. When it became apparent I needed surgery right away, she worked me into her schedule immediately. She was patient and listened to my concerns and explained the procedure thoroughly. My recovery and post-op care has been very smooth. Dr. Cummins and her staff have been quick to respond to my calls and medication needs. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of surgical care.

I don't recommend Dr. Cummins to anyone. She is rude and unhelpful. I am getting a revision surgery from another provider. PLEASE do not waste your time with Dr. Cummins. She has a great staff, and I feel very sorry for them. I can't imagine how they feel after spending the day with her.
