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.

Love that Dr Herrin really treats the patient and doesn't always go by strict guidelines of age. When it's obvious that a joint needs to be replaced he really tries to work with you. An overall great doctor!

Dr Herrin is a very good caring doctor which is hard to find. I had him do my total knee replacement two years ago and am getting ready to do the other. He has an awesome bedside manner and is good at explaining everything. So glad I had him for my surgery.

I started seeing Dr. Herrin in 2013 for a partially torn bicep, between July 2020 and July 2021, I have had him repair my right bicep both distal and labrum as well as a shoulder scope. In that time I have had an opportunity to get a solid feel for who he is as both a surgeon and a human being, and he excels in both categories. He is a fantastic surgeon, he has a quality team surrounding him and he is an attentive individual, he listens and responds from both a surgeon and human standpoint. In my opinion, you wont find a more experienced and qualified surgeon than Dr. Herrin. And you deal with a truly nice guy, that is no doubt a rarity in the world today.

Dr Herrin is an amazing doctor. Very personable. I have had a meniscus tear and he did surgery. I was happy with the outcome. I do have arthritis so I see Dr. Herrin when I have a lot of pain. He always helps.
