Dr. John Mj Ernst

Excellent. He has corrected trigger finger on both hands and I couldn't be more pleased.

I had dupuytren's contracture of the ring and pinky finger on my right hand, my dominant hand. As a self-employed graphic designer, it was a real concern. The work Dr. Ernst did to correct the issue exceeded my expectations. He's a talented surgeon and a very nice person. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Ernst and his team were great. Definitely recommend!

Office is very friendly and welcoming.

Dr. Ernst was awesome. He took his time with me and explained the procedure he’s going to perform very detailed !!

The integrity of this office is beyond reproach. Dr Ernst gave me the clearest & most comprehensive exam I’ve ever had and his staff is informative and caring.

Dr. Ernst is the best!! I highly recommend him.

Outstanding surgeon! Provides a conservative logical approach for patient care. Highly recommend!!!!

Dr. Ernst was very personable and engaged me with small talk that I appreciated, most importantly he listened to me as I described my concerns about the feelings in my hands, in my opinion he delighted this patient, and this is something that a lot of doctors I have seen, have not done.

I saw Dr John Ernst for follow-up on the injections he placed in the right thumb and small finger that was done about 2-3 weeks ago. There is no further problem with the triggering of these fingers. We were both pleased with the results. I have been seeing Dr Ernst over the past 20 years. I highly recommend him to all friends and family for hand problems.

Will never recommend this doctor or their office to anyone who's in need of an orthopedist. Dr. Ernst was disrespectful, inappropriate, rude, and showed no compassion or concern whatsoever. He laughed at my significant other when they cried in pain as he was assessing the fracture. Have had nothing but issues with this office and been given the runaround on every single call. I hope those seeking treatment here read these reviews and see anyone other than Dr. Ernst. Will never recommend this doctor or their office to anyone who's in need of an orthopedist.

Dr Ernst is always professional and very courteous. Would not think of using another hand surgeon

I would give a zero star if I could. This doctor is rude and has absolutely no compassion. He has no manners and no expression. He walked in and looked at me as if I was nuts then proceeded to belittle me and dismiss my pain. The entire 3 min I felt so disrespected. There was not even a hello, introduction or anything. He seemed angry. I can’t believe he is a doctor.

Dr. John Ernst and staff are professional yet friendly. The office visit was laid back with full attention given to the patient. Since Dr. Ernst is a seasoned professional he was able to make the proper diagnosis and fix the problem with just one visit. I was able to be referred for a visit with Dr. Ernst at the onset of the problem. I did not have to wait long to be contacted for an appointment. I would highly recommend Dr. Ernst and his staff.

I found Dr. Ernst's staff to be most helpful. I got lost in traffic and made a wrong turn trying to find his office. The lady who answered the phone at his office talked me through the trip until I spotted the building. Once inside the office I was seen shortly after completing my paper work. Dr Ernst himself is professional yet welcoming. I never felt that he was too busy to handle my small problem, even though he has patients with much more serious issues. He referred me to his hand therapist after determining that my problem would not be corrected very well by any kind of surgery. She was also very helpful. My overall experience was pleasant and I felt complete confidence in the doctor's recommendations. I found Dr. Ernst's staff to be most helpful.

I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Ernst. He is an outstanding physician. He is able to diagnose quickly by physical exam and sometimes with X-Ray. Having an X-Ray is so convenient as it can be done right in his office. Dr. Ernst is right to the point and matter of fact with a comforting and kind professional manner. His medical staff are also very warm and welcoming. Making the patient calm and at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Ernst. He is very knowledgeable and is usually able to provide relief on the first visit. Both pleased and thankful!

Doctor is very funny and polite. His nurse is quite nice also!

Exceptional medical treatment. Would highly recommend Dr. John M. Ernst.

They were fast and quick with the whole process and I was out within the hour

Dr Ernst is an excellent specialist. Not only is he extremely competent but is warm and friendly and took care of my Trigger Finger issue LITERALLY in 1 shot.

Fell and fractured my wrist on a Thursday. Went to the emergency room for xrays and to get it set. Was able to get an appointment with Dr. Ernest on Monday. Felt very confident with his treatment and follow up appointments.

The entire experience was very professional and caring. I did not have to wait once I arrived and Dr Ernst was vary informative, caring and gentle. Everyone in the office is very friendly and I feel I’m receiving wonderful service.

Dr. Ernst and staff are amazing! Dr. Ernst really cares about his patients. Dr. Ernst and Demitria (his nurse) kept us laughing at all of my sons appointments. He is great with kids! I am beyond thankful for Dr. Ernst and his staff.

Dr. Ernst and his staff were excellent. I am visiting family and while here sustained an injury. I am so surprised at the quality of care, expediency and caring people. If I was due to receive an injury, I am glad it happened here. I love Dr. Ernst and all his staff.

Dr. Ernst and his staff are just wonderful.. I had hand surgery in February 2021. I was totally impressed with Dr Ernst care and understand for me and my concerns. Took fabulous care from the first visit , through surgery, and my last visit. Explained everything he would preform during surgery and why. Not only was Dr. Ernst wonderful but his entire staff are very caring and helpful. Sawyer his PA is great as well has the entire surgery team. Sorry I can’t remember everyone’s name. I highly recommend Dr Ernst and his staff for hand surgery of any kind. Thanks to you, Dr. Ernst and your entire staff.

In the past, Dr Ernst has performed surgery on my left arm for tennis elbow. He is now treating me for tendonitis of my right hand and wrist. He is the absolute best. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. His nurse and staff are the outstanding.

Dr. john Ernst efficiently and professionally examined and performed carpal tunnel surgery on me. I am having excellent recovery and know no one else who could have done it better.

I felt I was in good hands the entire time. He is very experienced and takes good care of his patients. He is well known in the community and has made a name as the man to go to.

Dr Ernst and his staff, Sawyer and Demetria are AMAZING! I just recently had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands and I have been so pleased with the results. Dr. Ernst is a fantastic doctor and has done a great job before, during and after both surgeries!

VIsited Dr. Ernst for wrist issues. He was very personable, explained everything in detail. Was very impressed with his care and his knowledge. Treatment included 2 injections and a wrist brace. I had almost immediate relief. It has been 3 weeks and my wrist is almost back to 100%. Would definitely recommend Dr. Ernst and would definitely return for any issues in the future.

Dr Ernst has been my doctor for many years and has either treated a condition or performed surgery. I have the utmost confidence in him. He has also operated on all the members of my family. Today's visit was the typical one I have come to expect. That is why I can select all the entries below.

Dr. Ernst completed two carpal tunnel release surgeries for me this year, February 2020 and August 2020. He is very thorough and explained everything to me each step of the way.

Dr Ernst surgically removed a ganglion cyst out of my wrist 20 years ago and when the pain reflared recently he took care of me again. We ruled out another cyst but realized I had inflamed my tendon sheaths in the same wrist. Dr Ernst was just as professional this go round as he was 20 years ago. He made me feel at ease and explained everything that he did. I would highly recommend Dr Eenst to anyone having wrist pain.

Great doctor, very knowledgeable.

Simply put, I could have seen a different Orthopaedic Physician. Dr. Ernst dictated intermittently during the exam of my right arm. Many of his comments concerned the mottled appearance of my arm. Although I explained this was a birthmark, he continued the discussion and advised me to see a dermatologist- which, of course, he included in his dictated notes. His exam of my arm was thorough and included a X-ray. I walked in this office knowing my pain did not fit into a specific column- if it had, I would not have sought professional medical advice. I certainly was not prepared for his diagnosis. At the end the exam Dr Ernst stated “ There’s nothing wrong with your arm.” Responding to my husband’s final appeal for help with my pain- Dr. Ernst suggested he give me a Tylenol. One thing I know- i’m relieved my husband (35 retired police officer) witnessed it- we left the office speechless Simply put, I could have seen a different Orthopaedic Physician.

Great staff & Doctor!

Awesome Doctor and a great guy! I highly recommend Dr. John Ernst.

I love Dr Ernst and his fantastic staff!!! Andy and Demetria are so caring and helpful!!

Dr. Ernst was professional, informative, and had a fantastic nurse who I wish I could remember her name.

He is the best Orthopedic surgeon. I have been a patient of his since 2007.

Dr Ernst was very in formidable. I like the fact that he is trying all options before thinking about surgery.

everyone was nice helped in filling out papers as my right hand was injured and I'm right handed. Very clean and neat Dr. Ernst explained every thing so I could understand

Doctor Ernst was fantastic. He was attentive and answered all my questions. I trust his direction of treatment and plan on seeing him again as needed.

I was most fortunate to have fallen in the Hands of the best Hand Surgeon in the Charleston area. Thanks for saving my livelihood as a Mechanic by fixing a major accident to my dominant right Hand Dr.John M Ernst. He is truly a wonderful person and surgeon.

I have been to several of the doctors in this practice and they are all amazing. Unfortunately, I had to meet a new one because I broke a different part of my body. John M. Ernst, MD was caring, kind, patient and I am very happy with how he is handling my case. The support staff in the North Charleston office was very understanding of my injury and how we were going to get me healed. Thank you all for caring about me the way you did.

Treated for tennis elbow

This user rated the provider, but did not write a review

Dr Ernst performed two surgeries on my hand during 2019. He removed a ganglion cyst on my trigger finger and then carpal tunnel release later. He’s a great surgeon with a great staff. I have very little scarring. My hand is well into recovery. Thank you Dr. Ernst and staff.

Dr Ernst’s examination and diagnosis for my hand was spot on. He explained the treatment in clear terms. I had seen him previously for an issue on my other hand and have had excellent results. I highly recommend him.

I met Dr. Ernst a couple years ago when my Dr. recommended him for tennis elbow. I must say he is a no BS dr. He is thorough and even the dreaded shot is not as bad as I have had from others. He is funny and to me a sense of humor is important. So when my thumb started hurting I went back. No shot this time just a splint and NSAIDS. Thumb problem is just the old lady issue. I love that he gets me in and out but answers all my questions.

Great and thorough

I had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Ernst's today. I am impressed as he took the time to listen to what I had to say, then he reviewed all the documentation and the x-ray and ultrasound, and then he came to a conclusion and did what he thought was necessary in order to make me feel better. I did not feel like I was in a line-up of patients to get out the door as quickly as possible. Good to know doctors like this still exist. I had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Ernst's today.

Dr. Ernst received and answered a personal call in the exam room while with me. I know this because he told me it was a personal call. I have to completely agree he seemed disinterested in me, his patient. I tried explaining that the shoulder pain I have had for 20 years and it has now started to effect my quality of life. I did the movements first almost 3 weeks and the pain is even worse. I guess whatever was on his computer and cellphone was more important.

In my opinion Dr. Ernst seemed more interested in his computer than me. Told me that PT would not help me with my arm pain and he recommended surgery. Went to another doctor and found out that 90% of patients only need PT and it resolves the issue. Poor bedside manner and not personable at all. Grateful that I got the 2nd opinion.

Was having shooting pain in a single finger. X-rays were taken. My finger examined. Come back if its bothering you...that's why I made the appointment in the first place. Also, I have Medicare and a private insurance. I was asked for a co-pay. Medicare is primary, I don't pay co-pays. The check out desk should know this. Was having shooting pain in a single finger.
