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.

I felt at ease as he is very thorough to explain details and the reason for them. He has a great “bedside manner” too, so the whole experience with him was wonderful.

I've had numerous injuries that required extensive and complex surgeries. Needless to say I've been "put to sleep countless times"! Of all these times, Dr. Herra was, by far, the best anesthesiologist I have had to date. This guy is gooood. I would recommend him to anyone at anytime for any procedure. Top shelf in my book.

Entirely dismissive of my concerns and requests. Administered mind altering medication without proper notice. While these issues may be related to his lack of experience, his conduct negatively impacted my experience of the procedure for which he administered anesthesia.
