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.

This man ruined my life! I am on full disability now due to one of his surgeries. When I went back to see him after the surgery and told him I was in extreme pain he told me to learn to live with it.

Dr. Ehrler was thourough in his explanations, and took the time to explain every step leading up to what turned into 2 surgeries to repair a herniated disk between my C6 and C7 vertebra. He also explained what the connective tissue issue he ran into in the first surgery could be related to, and scheduled the second surgery on a day he normally spent in the office meeting patients so it could be done quickly. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr Ehrler is a soft spoken man with amazing hands that contributed to a very successful surgery in my case. He did a cervical discectomy and had me feeling better and up and walking the next day. I have experienced no complication 1 week post op and look forward to his fast paced team of professionals getting me back on my feet quickly
