  • Dr Eberlin was very personable and respectful Compassionate attitude and wanted to help

    2026-07-07

  • Dr. Eberlin was accommodating in scheduling time to see me and explained aspects of my medical problem and potential surgical intervention very well.

    2026-07-03

  • I received pre-op instructions from three different sources, two oral, one printed. They all were different. And my post-op recommendations were not as complete as I think they should have been. When I saw the doctor for my follow-up appointment, he cautioned me about doing some things that I had already been doing in the preceding seven days. So I think that could have been handled better too.

  • My procedure appointment was several months after my initial appointment, yet the doctor seemed to remember me and commented on the growth of one of my cysts. He was very attentive during the surgery and paused to give me more local anesthetic after I indicated I was feeling something sharp. He answered all of my questions and was clear on what restrictions I should follow until my follow-up appointment.

    2025-11-10

  • He was very pleasant, but we didn't discuss if there were a need for a graft, what that would entail, whether it would be a synthetic or skin from my hip and how that would go and the dressings and all of that sort of thing. So he did not think a graft would be necessary, which was good news, but we didn't discuss the alternatives, which was disappointing. Thank you.

    2025-10-31

  • The exam room was really way too small for so many people to be in attendance for my appointment. It threw me off a bit & I feel I was not able to relay my condition well. It was really great to see and be able to use my right arm to shake hands with these men...

    2025-10-23

  • Yes, I told him about a nerve injection [redacted] I had done. And I came to see him basically for a final approval as to what he thought my overall condition was. He didn't want to listen to it at all. He basically claimed that that was impossible, that they didn't do that. I beg to differ with him. [redacted] So bottom line is he disapproved. As soon as I talked about that, he was ready to leave.

    2025-09-16

  • This was a first visit so I am going by my initial encounter with Dr Eberlin who had been highly recommended by my OT. I found him to be affable and interested in my case (hand injury.) He took the time to review my MRI, which was inconclusive. After further discussion, he and I agreed to try ultrasound, which he had available in his office. The ultrasound proved to be more conclusive and we discussed further surgical intervention. Overall it was a very positive experience. So far, I rate him and his team very highly.

    2025-09-22
