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.

Always available thru office.

Dr Herron is thorough & very knowledgeable.
Dr Herron is thorough, very knowledgeable & also personable. He spends as much time as necessary with me & I never feel rushed. He had very high scores on his results outcome measures & that's why I originally chose him. True to form, he has helped me with successful outcomes for any problem I've had so far. He even helped me directly get hard to find meds at the lowest price possible. I am actually healthier & happier since I've been working with him even though I am now 3 years older than when we 1st met. Thanks, Doc!

Is a garbage doctor
He helped ruin my daughters life from his incompetence. He assumed she was faking injury to get pain meds. And turns out her brain was swelling and she almost died. He is an imbecile. We informed him she needed vitamins and fluids because she hadnt kept any food or drink down for a month. Not only did he not do it but eventually turned off the pain relief for her massive headaches from her brain swelling. He didnt know her brain was swelling because he didnt check. We had to change doctors to get any help but we didnt know it was too late. Circumstances had passed the point of completely fixing her. She was 20 years old. She has permanent brain damage. Thank god she is alive but she would be healthy if he did his job like a doctor should.

Dr. Herron Spends the TIME with patients
I've been going to Dr. Herron for a few years now. He is the best doctor I've ever known in 54 years. He is not in and out like most doctors. And he's like that every time you go. I don't know if he's taking new patients or not but if you aren't happy with your doctor that spends 1 minute with you, try Dr. Herron. He listens for however long it takes and really manages your health and wellness. My wife, mother and father also think very highly of him. My kids are getting ready to start going to him too. We trust him 100%.

Dr Herron has solved any medical issues my husband and I have had. If he can’t, he sends us off to a specialist. He is super kind and very professional and doesn’t just visit for 5 minutes like most physicians. He takes his time to answer questions you may have. His staff is very nice and we are absolutely pleased with the choice to make him our primary care physician.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Herron’s for several years. He’s always attentive, thorough and informative. No matter how busy he may be he takes time to assure that I receive his full attention and care. I highly recommend Dr. Herron.

Dr. Herron was amazing!. We sat and just TALKED for an hour! I haven't met an 'old fashioned' dr. like him in many many years. He was thoughtful, listened to everything I said! My only bad news is that I'm moving away. I have no idea how long it will be before I can find a dr. like him again!!!
