Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent results
Burned leg bad in gasoline fire explosion in 2018. Thank you so much for your experience and knowledge. My leg looks great and you can hardly tell I had third degree burns all the way down leg. Full function and doesn't even look that bad now after 2 skin grafts. Thanks a million. Highly recommend. Great surgeon.

Dr. Herndon is one of the most caring doctors I have had the pleasure of having. His staff is no different and will go the length to make sure all is well. His even helped assist me with others in the family. He does not rush you in and out, expect a wait because he takes time with his patients and actually listens. Seriously not a typical doctor, he is a good man.
