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 Hershberger is a caring and well respected Doctor. I have been seeing him for the last 8 yrs and have never had to wait for more than 10 mins in the waiting room. He listens to every aspect of your complains and always seems to find a solution to your ailments.

Dr. Hershberger is caring for my aged father. He is an excellent physician with a compassionate manner in dealing with a gentleman who is declining in health. I am so grateful for the knowledge and skill he brings to my dad's care. When my dad is in the hospital he tells me "Dr. Hershberger was here at 7 a.m" He finds much comfort in knowing that his doctor cares about him as a person and continues to respect his dignity. I have so much trust in the care he gives to my dad.

Very disappointing. Sick for a week and in shelling out of pocket expenses for two visits in less than a week I'm told to make another follow up being handed an asthma inhaler while suffering fever, chills, aches, pains and insomnia? Outrageous but don't take my word, schedule your appointment today!!
