I've worked with and am a patient of Dr Earnhardt. He is very knowledgeable and caring. Always takes him time with each patient and listens to and takes into consideration your thoughts and concerns. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Earnhardt is a jewel! I've only seen him once thus far because I was without insurance but he didn't brush me off simply because I didn't have any insurance. I have insurance now and will be using Dr. Earnhadt as my Cardiologist. He is very courteous and gentle.

I was referred to Doc Earnhardt by my family doctor (Bob Adams in Knightdale) about 6 months ago for my chest pain when I walked. Doc earnhardt did a angioplasty onme and put a stent in my artery adn I have been pain free ever since. Sorry the other guy had such a bad experience but I had the opposite. I am 57 years old but I feel like I'm 45 again. I would've gotten this taken care of a long time ago if I had known how I could feel again. Office staff not all that friendly but no complaints on the doc.
