About Me

Conditions I specialize in
  • Dermatology

Exposed early on to dermatologists with her own skin
conditions and her grandmother’s melanoma, Dr. Ernst
developed a natural interest and passion for the care
and treatment of the skin. She appreciates the wide
variety of diseases and treatment options available in
dermatology, plus the lifelong learning involved.
Dr. Ernst sees patients for the prevention, diagnosis and
treatment of conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails.
She also performs minor procedures in the office. She
is especially interested in psoriasis and hyperhidrosis
(excessive sweating). Dr. Ernst likes to provide her
patients with all of the options and information available,
then work with them collaboratively on a treatment
plan. She believes in empowering her patients to make
their own decisions. She encourages everyone to wear
mineral sunscreen to protect from the harmful effects of
the sun.
Married with one child, Dr. Ernst grew up in Cincinnati
and was a competitive dancer. She likes taking adult
classes at the Cincinnati Ballet with her sister. She enjoys
spending time with her family, visiting the zoo, the
aquarium and parks.
