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.

Well first things first my surgery was scheduled at 10 and I got on the OR at 2:00. She was nice and everything but I believe my surgery was rushed. The thing that I hated the most was I was closed up with staples. They were horribly painful after the anesthesia wore off. To make matters worse when I went to my appointment to get my staples out there were 2 staples that was applied terribly to the point that my incision was still open. Im literally terrified from yesterday. My doctor put steri strips to close it but im still scared cause thats just tape. The recovery for my second c-section was horrific and I blame the staples. My first c-section was with Dr. Mullen and the whole experience was a walk in the park. I would definitely suggest Dr. Mullen!

When I was 38 weeks pregnant I had some light bleeding and called Woodward to get checked out. The doctor they put me with was unfortunately Dr. H. She very roughly checked my cervix and said her finger were too small and she couldn’t reach it, then continued to roughly try to reach it. It was extremely painful. 45 minutes after my appointment I started gushing blood and had to rush to the hospital. They did tests and it wasn’t my placenta, it was from the rough treatment I experienced.

Dr. Herchelroath is one of a kind. She always walks in with a smile on her face when she enters the exam room. She will take all the time you need to make sure you understand everything regarding your exam/procedure or surgery. She is always professional and yet extremely calming and friendly. Im so happy she is my doctor! An added bonus, she dresses amazing and likes aesthetic medicine! She's the perfect female doctor! Highly recommend her and actually have to so many of my friends.

She has an enormous amount of compassion and concern for her patients. She saw me for an issue with my breast. She listened and validated my feelings. After testing, she was quick to offer a follow up phone call even though my results were negative. She wanted to reassure me everything was fine.

Dr. H is very personable. Not only does she provide excellent care, she listens and cares about my overall well being. After being discharged from the hospital, she contacted me to see how the baby and I were doing. That alone won me over. She cares.

Dr. Herchelroath is a true advocate for women's health. She is genuine in her approach to patient management and clearly cares about her patients. After switching to her care, she was able to identify some problems and treated them expeditiously - drastically improving my health. I am so glad I switched to Dr. Herchelroath - her care truly changed my life dramatically. She is personable, caring, professional and genuine - taking time with her patients and not rushing through appointments.

When it was time for our third child to be born, our regular OBGYN practice was not on call. Dr. Herchelroath was there that night, and she came in, and it was like she knew us throughout the whole pregnancy. She made us feel at ease, and everything went so smoothly. She was very kind and professional. We were so lucky to have her take care of me and our newborn. I would recommend her to everyone.

Dr Herchelroath is one of the best doctors. She has wonderful bedside manner and goes above and beyond for her patients. When I had my second daughter, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and she explained everything to me, gave me wonderful suggestions and reassured me that everything would be ok. I would challenge anyone to find a more caring doctor. Thank you Dr H for being the doctor who treats her patients the way we all deserve to be treated.

Dr Herchelroath is the most compassionate, physicians I have ever come across. I had not been to an OBGYN in over 15 years when Dr Herchelroath was recommended to me by a friend. Dr Herchelroath put me at ease and made me feel so comfortable while keeping very professional. I have had a few problems and I have called her and she gets right back to me. She answers all my questions and really listens to me. I highly recommend Dr Herchelroath.
