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.

I came into the ER with Guillon Barre syndrome and Dr. Enrich has been wonderful. She is knowledgeable, and understanding, and polite. I couldn’t be happier with her care.

I actually saw Dr. Elrich in Ewa Beach, HI recently for some of what could have been serious issues. Luckily, her knowledge, excellent manner and professionalism took great care of my issues. she is a wonderful physician that takes the time to review every and all possibilities. I'm just dissapointed that she has been only here temporarily since we have a huge lack of specialists in Hawaii. Thanks to her, I am on the mend. I highly recommend Dr. Elrich.

I had a very positive experience with Dr Elrich while undergoing treatment for a rare neurological condition. She took the time to explain and review each aspect of what I was going through. I felt very comfortable with her expertise, guidance and suggestions. I felt she took more time then most in ensuring that I was fully informed about the course of treatment moving forward. I have no reservations in recommend Dr Elrich

Dr. Elrich took me on as a patient about 20 years after I'd been seeing a NYC neurologist for epilepsy. She made every effort to learn of the injuries that caused my epilepsy and is now taking the time to examine my brain through tests to see if my anti-epilepsy meds can be reduced.
