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.

The doctor abuses people's insurance. He has all patients do tests for which he bills excessive amounts including allergy testing even for patients which have no symptoms or problems currently or in the past. Billed my insurance over $10K for an allergy test not requested or needed (this is why insurance rates are so high in the US....). This is not the first time this type of excessive billing has occurred. Also, he does not read his notes or results properly as stated in other reviews. He told me urine results looked good...then I told him they did not take urine sample, at which time he said go do one now. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I just cancelled all future appts and will not go there again.

Dr. Herrera is a competent and caring professional, so rare and difficult to find. Dr. Herrera is in it with you for the long term. He will care for you now and for many years to come. I highly recommend Dr. Herrera as your primary care physician.

Dr. Herrera himself is very nice. However, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!! The front office is absolutely awful. My fiance comes to this office and I sometimes come with him. He has been seen a few times and every experience has been a nightmare. In recent events, the front office and whoever answers the phones has told us they would call us back about a very time sensitive and important matter and DONT! FOUR TIMES! EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL. DONT COME HERE SIMPLY BECAUSE THE STAFF IS THAT AWFUL

Dr. Herrera saved my kidney. After a yearly exam, the doctor determined there was something wrong with my kidney numbers. He sent me for a series of tests to determine the cause of the high numbers. Other doctors did not share Dr. Herrera's concern. I ultimately had surgery removing a tumor growing around my kidney. If Dr. Herrera had not originally realized there was a problem, and had he not had me pursue testing, I would have lost my kidney. I highly recommend Dr. Herrera.

Dr. Herrera is a phenomenal practitioner. He has been a lifesaver over and over not only to my friends and family but has also saved me. His knowledge is beyond amazing. He will spend time with you to explain conditions and treatment options. For almost 30 years I have put my faith in him and he has never let me down. I work in the medical field and to say that I strongly recommend him is an understatement. If you have to wait for him it’s only because he’s in demand and he is well worth it!

Doctor is respectful and professional but straight-to-the-point-you-only-have-5-minutes-with-him kind of doctor. He does check all vitals and seems very professional but if you are looking for a doctor that will listen to your feelings, this is not him.

Dr. Herrera takes care of our family and some of our friends. He is an outstanding diagnostician and physician. My wife had a couple of emergencies this year and the whole staff was incredibly helpful and supportive. Thank you Dr. Herrera!

The rudest, most unprofessional office I have ever dealt with. I would not recommend Dr Herrera to anyone. From his receptionist, Sandra to office manager, Rosa to Dr. Herrera himself, the most disrespectful and argumentative staff you will find. Rosa yelled at me on the phone and then hung up on me and Dr. Herrera himself decided to make a pysch evaluation of my father over the phone, telling him he always thought he had a personality disorder. Stay away at all costs.

Absolutely love Dr. Herrera because of his thoroughness and treatment plan he sets in place. Hes on point with everything which is why I deal with his insubordinate staff who walk aroind clueless. They have no common sense and lack a ton of professionalism. Sadly, Ive seen this Dr lose tons of patients over his staff. They remodeled and rehired but from what Ive seen, they work the same. You wait forever for referrals, they talk loudly about the patients which you can clearly hear.

He was rude I agree he writes on computer and that's it leaves the room no exam you think he is coming back but never does he does not care about how you are treated by him or his staff office makes a lot of mistakes reading and writing in your chart. His staff is very rude and you have to wait forever to has any forms filled out for insurance and when it is filled out there is usually a mistake because his staff doesn't understand what any medical word or medication is.

He has no manners whatsoever. He examines you briefly and then spends the rest of the time writing in his computer and dictating to an assistant who has another computer. After he's finished , he leaves abruptly , leaving you with a lot of unanswered questions. Does not pay much attention to your health concerns. His office staff is very rude. Referrals take over 15 work days to obtain. My only visit to his office was more than enough to decide I didn't want to keep going to this Dr.
