Dr. Daniel Hunter Ervin, DO

Never have I seen such an incompetent office run, requesting medical information be faxed, was ridiculous. HIPPA is meant to assist in your care, not inhibit it, but with them it inhibited it. Release of information faxed to them and still could not forward my information. Then charging me for a copay already paid, and having the audacity to say it was never paid, when every other copay had been paid on my cc, but I have to show proof, because they are incompetent. Go to Boston, don't waste your time with incompetence>

competent, but uncaring and obtuse to pt. feelings, situation or level of pain.

Dr. Ervin is one of the best doctors! He’s very thorough, makes sure you’re informed whether he sends you home with meds or what not or if you have to have surgery. I’ve had surgery done by him twice and each time there were no issues! I’d recommend him to anyone!

Everyone at the Westminster location are very nice, conversational and accommodating. The doctor is very personable and does a good job of "getting his patient involved" with his work. This, I feel makes our son much more comfortable while in his care. As one would expect, he includes the parent(s) in the conversation; keeping his descriptions of the patients' situation very easy to understand; giving us as much time as we need. Visiting his office is a real pleasure - at least as much as you can have when "going to the doctor"!

I have been seeing Dr. Dan for a number of years now. He is a very capable, caring, and professional physician. My first encounter was severe, unstoppable nosebleeds, and he was the only doctor who treated me efficiently. Another doctor performed surgery for a deviated septum and made it worse. Dr Dan went back in and did it the right way. Since then, he has treated polyps on my larynx, infected ears issues, as well as maintenance on my septum. He also replace a perforated eardrum on my wife. Highly recommended.

I came to Dr Ervin with severe ear issues. He was able to help me with my situation and has been an excellect Dr. !

As on-call DO for Leominster Health Alliance Hospital, my elderly mother was given Emergency discharge instructions to see Dr. Ervin for follow up. Office would not grant us a visit, giving our only choice as going back to the ER or to wait a "couple of months" to remove ER packing and a post-emergency follow-up. Shameful. Uncaring.

I recently had surgery with Dr. Ervin. I found him to be informative and courteous at my initial pre-op examination. He did a wonderful job with my surgery. I felt very confident when the OR nurse at the hospital told me as I was entering surgery that she takes her children and parents to him. I had no pain following my surgery and no bleeding or bruising as usually occurs. I wouldn't hesitate to return to Dr. Ervin or refer a friend or family member to him.

I met with Dr. Ervin because I had nodules found on my thyroid. I had to wait in the waiting room about 20 minutes which was frustrating since I had an early appointment.

I visited Ervin's because of a fungal ear infection in my left ear. I was very clear in telling him this- then he stuck a long, pointed stick in my RIGHT ear, jabbing into my ear drum, which was incredibly painful. I asked him to stop, he said he was "opening it up", no further description. He poked hard again and I began to tear up and cry, and upon the 3rd scrape I had to shake myself away from his hands and out of the chair. He told me I had bad ear wax build up and could take over the counter drops in both ears. He looked in my left ear only briefly, saying there was no problem, but I swear he did a number on my right ear- it's an hour or two after the original appt and it still hurts! Note: I was in his office for no longer than 2 minutes. Multiple doctors have diagnosed me with a fungal ear infection already, and all said that over the counter drops would aggravate an infection of that sort. I am quite scared of anyone, friend or not, going to this guy. Seriously, what in the world? I will be finding a contact for his superior/higher-up and letting them know of all this.

I was referred to Dr. Ervin after an ER visit because of severe nose bleeding for the majority of my life. I was told that it was likely that he would cauterize my nose, and being a 16 year old girl with access to Google I scared myself silly with help from online horror stories. Online it had been outlined that the procedure could cause permanent loss of smell and taste, accompanied by 1 week of torturous recovery. Upon arriving at the office, I waited 45 minutes past my appointment to be seen. This may have been acceptable had Dr. Ervin been caring and compassionate. I went in the office and his exact words were "What is the problem." I told him that I had been having bloody noses and offered him a chart that I had made regarding that past week's worth of bloody noses (as many as 5 per day). After about a .5 second glance at the paper he tossed it aside and took out an instrument that stretched my nostrils out to take a look. Without explaining the problem or the cause, or asking any more questions about my condition (keep in mind all he knew was that "I had a lot of bloody noses") Without any further explanation, he took out what looked like a giant q-tip and swabbed it around my nose. It stung quite a bit and I began to tear up, and only then did he say "I just cauterized your nose, this should sting for 5-10 minutes." I began to tear up even more because before the appointment I had made it clear to my father that I wanted to ask questions before deciding on the procedure. I was still crying as Dr. Ervin opened the door for his exit, and he only answered my father's and my questions after what seemed like badgering him. The whole appointment lasted less than 5 minutes. He made me feel like my condition was unimportant and that I was an extreme waste of his time. I will say that I have not experienced loss of taste or any severely painful side effects except for a runny and itchy nose. I will also say that I will never be giving any business to Dr. Ervin again, nor will I ever reccomend his care to any family, friends, or anyone else.

Came in asked what was wrong and went out. I could never identify him in a line-up. I got a letter telling me his opinion - nothing can be done.

Dr. Ervin examined me for anosmia (no sense of smell), finding that my sinuses were entirely blocked off due to past inflammation. He recommended a surgical procedure to re-open the sinus access passages. The operation went very well; in fact, I had only the mildest discomfort directly upon awakening from the procedure, and none from there on out. He has been attentive and interested during the follow-up period. I find Dr. Ervin to be competent and compassionate. He conducted his examinations and manages his office with excellent professionalism. His colleagues at the hospital also spoke highly of him, calling him "the best." My experience with him supports these opinions.
