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. Herrera-Behr is kind and cares about his patients, he listens and does not make his patients feel rushed, his staff is friendly and do their best to book your appointment when needed.

Antonio Q-A – Apr 03, 2025
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Herrera Behr?
Great Doctor, Staff Appear Incompetent
Doctor is very knowledgeable but difficult to understand due to a very heavy Hispanic accent. Staff were excellent when my husband and I started seeing this doctor but all of them left suddenly and he has had a revolving door of staff since that time. In the last two months, they don’t answer phones or return calls so it has made getting authorizations to see my specialists and obtain ordered procedures a nightmare.

Dissatisfied Patient due to Staff – Feb 08, 2025
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Herrera Behr?
office staff runs his office!
This DR. is All about money, NO care for patients, and staff rules the office! The ladies at the counter are the true runners of the office. They will not let you personally speak to the DR., They will take 4-5 days to get the message to the DR. I became very depressed at one point and couldn't leave my home for a few months, This Office was VERY UNSUPPORTIVE! During that few months, I needed refills of the Depression medicine but they wanted me to come in I explained the situation, and instead of helping me, I received a letter in the mail stating he could no longer be my DR. and I needed to find a new DR. You call this a true DR? A true Dr would be supportive and understand since he's your Dr and knows exactly what you're going through. But apparently not, because if care was what he was doing, he would NOT just randomly get rid of you because you are physically and mentally unable to move!

Great doctor!
Dr Herrera is a great doctor. Ive been going to him for three years. I feel comfortable talking to him. He addresses any and all of my concerns. This man is super nice. I dont understand him at times but he has no problem repeating himself and he makes sure i understand before i leave him office. These negative comments dont sound like Dr Herrera. And Tonya is a sweetheart!

They Don't Make Them Like This Anymore!
I have been a Patient with Dr. Herrera and his team for more than a Decade. I will not trust anyone else with my specialized treatment concerns. I don't understand some of these comments; quite contrary to my own personal experience. It seems the same person leaving several negative reviews. His entire team is responsive, kind, compassionate to my desires he has never squeezed me or my Insurance. They understand me and base my care with my own wishes at the top of his list. I recently changed Insurance and they pre-assigned a different Doctor for me. I am so confident in his abilities that I would pay to keep him as my Doctor out of network pocket if I cannot get it changed. If you are on the fence, go ahead and choose Doctor Herrera. He is an Old School Doc and his relationships with his patients (ME) is as important as his knowledge and expertise in many different arenas. I never feel pressured or rushed. He is a rare jewel in the Medical Field Practices of today.

Grateful Patient – Dec 05, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Herrera Behr?
Dr Herrera isn’t a very friendly Dr. Most can’t understand his English. He’s good maybe for the Hispanic person but even then you can tell it’s all about money not your health. Most money and Insurance hungry Dr you would ever meet.

communications is awful , does not explain anything medically his English is poor , and doesn't listen to patients not what a doctor should be. In my opinion, patient and doctor work together this one doesn't and staff can be rude with no communication either , just do this and don't ask why ?

As a doctor, I liked him very much. The problem is that I couldn't understand what he was saying much of the time. My husband and I both left his practice because of that.

TRACY in SPRINGHILL FLORIDA – Apr 10, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Herrera Behr?
This Doctor is extremely careless. I went to him for a UTI, he prescribed over the counter meds for pain, antibiotics, & bloodwork. The bloodwork came back indicating that the infection was resistant to antibiotics. He called to tell me the antibiotics would not work, even if I was feeling better. He had me get a pick line for super antibiotics at the hospital. The meds he had prescribed for pain skewed the test. I went through pain, exorbitant expense and now I am allergic to cephalosporin

I started seeing this Dr. in January. He had me come in 3 times in 5 months for conversation about Asthma and to tell me my blood work came back fine. I've had Asthma for 39yrs, what can help possibly tell me that I don't already know? He also made me take the same blood work that my Obgyn had me do a days prior. I personally feel, he's all about the money. Anything to get you into the office so he can charge your insurance company he will do.

I was heartbreakingly disappointed. Went in for UTI, did lab work, and was told that the infection was antibiotic resistant. Instead of performing the lab test again, to confirm unusual results, Dr. Herrera sent me to the hospital for a pick line and then treatment with a specialist on a daily basis.The folks at the hospital were perplexed about this procedure and kept asking me question as to why. The daily antibiotic treatments were so strong that caused me to become allergic to them.
