Dr. Ellen Benedicta Koerber, MD

Outstanding professional, personal follow-up of patients.

Dr. Koerber is an excellent physician but she does demonstrate very rude behavior. Patients are paying a pretty penny not to put up with her rude behavior. No one should be putting up with an egotistical rude doctor!

Granted, she is a good physician. However, part of a great health team is listening to your patients. It appears that her ego may get the best of her at times, which hinders her ability to really hear what a patient is conveying. At times, she's abrupt, rude, and irritated. She is one doctor you would have to weigh out pros and cons according to your desired care you are looking for. To me, a patient must feel totally comfortable and trust their concerns will be heard. If you're looking for a good doctor patient relationship, I cannot recommend her, but if you're looking for direct care without the bedside manner, she's the one for you.

I found the office environment and equipment outdated. She basically practices much the way she was taught in medical school she has been in practice a long time need to be open to new ways of approaching health issues with patients.

Dr Koerber is an excellent physician. She spends time with you and is very detailed and complete with your history and physical. Because she is so knowledgable she frankly advises you about your health and implications for the future. That can be a little scarey but does motivate you to make lifestyle changes and take your medication. I have total confidence in her experise and have been with her for many years. I would never consider changing doctors because she is the best.

I would recommend Dr. Koerber to anyone. She is smart, keeps current on medical literature, provides excellent diagnoses, and refers her patients to top notch specialists.

She was very though and a very good doctor. I would strongly recommend her. I am a nurse myself and do not like going to the doctor.

Dr. Koerber is a fantastic doctor if you want smarts and a true diagnostician but she does have a bit of a gruff bedside manner. I she didn't always listen to what I said on mundane things (such as the antibiotics made feel better can we try again?-- she would say no I don't think so--turns out I had low grade tonsillitis and once the tonsils were removed after another specialist suggested it I was great). However, she did diagnose a very serious chronic disease that she figured out I had from some vague symptoms so I thank her for that. Catching it early was good. On the other hand, when she called with the test results, the first words out of her mouth were "I have some bad news." Again, good diagnostician if you need it but not the way you want to share unpleasant medical news on the phone with a patient--now that statement will scare you. Conclusion: If no one can figure out what's wrong with you then see her.

I have been a patient of Dr. Koerber for over 20 years. She is an excellent diagnostician and includes my preferences in any treatment plan she proposes. I believe in her excellence so much that I got my mother going to her as well.

Dr. Koeber is an excellent physician. She takes time with you to determine what is not working, gives you homework, shares her knowledge. I am completely happy with our medical partnership for my health.
