Dr. Douglas Michael Ehrler, MD

Dr Ehrler was like a robot when he came into the room. Only reviewed my MRI - did not ask me how I was feeling! Said he could do nothing for me! No empathy whatsoever! Said the physician that I did my EMG - report was very wordy! Really??? Will not go back!!! Will spread the word!! I have been in healthcare for 43 years!!

Very dismissive of my pain and concerns.

Yes, I will help others Don't use this Dr. Ehrler for back surgery. Read all the ratings about him. He is a Joke

I would not recommend this surgeon to my worst enemy. He rushed to complete a microdiscectomy and treated me like dirt when I suggested that it was unsuccessful. Recent CT shows he may have operated in the wrong disc. He made a huge point to reference my weight and the difficulties he had positioning me in my most vulnerable moments. He falsified chart notes saying I told him I felt “spectacular” which is a word I would NEVER use to describe these issues and pain I endure daily. I returned for additional help as the nerve pain and numbness NEVER subsided. Likely because he operated on my L3 instead of what he noted, the L4-L5 and L5-S1. All this surgery did was create more pain and suffering, and this doctors’ God complex doesn’t allow him to consider he wasn’t successful. I was berated for bringing a report of my ER CT scan because I couldn’t obtain the CD in time. I have this entire visit on recording - and I can assure you what the notes say do not match how it truly went. I was… told it would be a 2 inch incision. Staples were NEVER mentioned. I was sent immediately home after the procedure in absolute agony. I without doubt should’ve been admitted. Upon showering, I was faced with EIGHTEEN STAPLES down my spine and a 6 1/2 inch incision. He left me with those eighteen staples for two entire weeks. I had discharge and sent pictures almost daily asking for help because I wasn’t healing correctly. I was shrugged off and told to mix peroxide and water to get rid of what appeared to be an infection and excessive drainage. It is clear this surgeon is money motivated and convinced me to allow a surgery while my child was 5 months old - and leave me to struggle to recover. This UNSUCCESSFUL surgery has caused far more pain and suffering than the original herniated discs, and the numbness was not changed at all. It appears this is because my vertebrae were miscounted by a surgeon I trusted. GET A SECOND OPINION. DO NOT trust what this arrogant doctor says.

I wish I would of read his reviews before I let this man do anything to me, I'm worse now than I was before!!! HE'S VERY RUDE NO BEDSIDE MANNERS AT ALL DOES NOT LISTEN NO EXAMS IN YOUR ROOM FOR MAYBE 2mins

Dr Erlher is a brilliant surgeon, very professional does a great job. Not a great personality bedside manner is awful but all in all the important thing is his great skill

Complete waste of time and money I’ve done enough research on my own from respective institutions such as the Mayo Clinic that contradict everything he just said. That my neck isn’t causing my issues. That guy was an Xxxxxxx Didn’t even look at my X-ray which shows more. The search continues. MRI clearly shows Stenosis due to bulged disc due to Degenerative Disease. Save you time and money and stay away

I agree with giving a partial star. Horrible befside manner. Told me I didn’t have spunal stenosis but it was a diagnosis on my therapy order. Told my sciatica was a leg problem not a back problem. Thank goodness I’m a nurse and know a very good ortho dr/ surgeon who can take over my case not affiliated with crystal clinic’s dr Ehrler.

Was told for a year and a half that my injury’s were caused by a tramatic fall 2 surgery’s later and after charging 1500$ for a letter to get it in writing, dr Erlher decides it was” mostly degenerative , avoid this business man! He will lie right to your face without hesitation,

Dr. Ehrler was recommended to me by another physician who he operated on. Explained all things well, let me choose what I wanted to do. Did not pressure me to do anything. After surgery my pain was gone. He is very nice, patient, and DID LISTEN TO ALL MY USUES. Gentle, calm.
