Dr. Ercole was absolutely awesome. She was able to accurately diagnose that I was suffering from a hernia. An Emergency Room Physician nor my Primary Care Physician was unable to do so. A CT Scan nor Ultrasound was also unable to detect there was no hernia. Dr. Ercole completed a physical inspection while I was standing and as a result she detected the hernia immediately. She found the hernia that I have been mysteriously suffering with for 90 days that no other medical professional nor tests could. My sincerest compliments and gratitude are extended to Dr. Ercole.
