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.

Dr. Herman has been me and my mother’s primary doctor for about 20 years. My husband and relatives are also his patients for many years now. Dr. Herman is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, professional and patient. He takes the time to sit and discuss your ailments, generable well-being and about you in general. He goes the extra mile for his patients, returning calls or email after hours. His office is efficient, with kind and helpful staff. He is an outstanding diagnostician and is extremely efficient. He makes patients feel comfortable and his staff are professional, efficient and friendly. My mother and I have recommended him to our friends and family because of this. I highly recommend him. Go see Dr. Herman! Thank you Dr. Herman for all you and your team do for your patients!

Dr. Lawrence Herman has been my primary physician for ten years. He is incredibly thorough, personable, and professional. He goes the extra mile for his patients, returning calls after hours, for example. His office is well-run, with kind and helpful staff. I have recommended him to many of my friends because of this. When it was time for my colonoscopy, his staff made all the arrangements, and clearly communicated everything I needed to do, putting me at ease (I was *not* looking forward to it). The facility where he operates was clean and well-organized. The procedure was done in a timely fashion, and Dr. Herman explained his findings shortly after it was over. Thank you, Dr. Herman!

Dr. Herman has been my gastroenterologist for ten years providing colonoscopies, endoscopies and excellent advice about care and treatment options. I was especially impressed with the level of service he provides when the night before my most recent procedure I spilled the bottle of bowel cleanser liquid. The instructions said to stir it into the water and I clumsily caught the spoon on the edge of the cup and knocked it over. I was extremely upset with myself and thought I won’t be able to keep my appointment tomorrow morning and I’m s- - - out of luck, literally. But to my great relief, when I called Dr. Herman’s office after hours, instead of a recording saying to dial 911 in an emergency or leave a message, I got a live person who was able to get a replacement prescription to a 24 hour pharmacy and saved the day.

Dr. Herman has been my primary physician for about 8 years now and I highly recommend him and this practice. He is professional, helpful and always makes me feel at ease. The wait times are manageable and the office staff does a good job. They are efficient without making me feel rushed. A bonus for me is the ability to message him through the email portal if needed. Kudos to Dr Herman!

Dr. Herman is an exceptional doctor. He has been my internist for 15 years and in that time he has been consistently excellent. He has so many fine characteristics that make him a superior doctor: he is exceedingly smart with an expansive knowledge base and depth of experience; he’s diligent; he’s honest; and he genuinely cares about his patients. In combination, these qualities make for a world class doctor, and he is an equally fine person. One is genuinely lucky to have him as a doctor!
