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 Herrington is very personable and caring. He takes time to answer all questions and does not rush. But he also does not follow up on tests he has ordered to detemine if treatment needs changing based on results, or advise patients on other specialist that would be helpful when dealing with Crohns disease or Humira.

I was hospitalized following complications to removing my gallbladder, I had to a bile duct tear. Dr Herrington was consulted by my surgeon to do an ERCP to place a stent. He was so pleasant and super knowledgeable. He took his time explaining what was going on and why a previous ERCP procedure wasn't successful. He answered each and every question we had!

Dr Christopher Herrington has been my physician for about six months. I'm writing to say that I think the world of him. He is very professional, friendly, courteous & attentive. I also like the way Dr Herrington is the one who phones me personally with test results and not his staff. That means the world to me.

I am a current patient of Dr. Herrington. Very pleasant doctor to talk to. Has a way of putting patient at ease and shows concern for patient. He does not rush through a visit. Always takes time to make sure all questions are answered completely. Based on my experience with other gastro doctors I highly recommend Dr. Herrington.
