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've been with Dr. Herndon cut years & have always had a very good working relationship with her. She's wonderful!

Needs to retire
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! Tried to tell me I didn't have one of my diagnoses within 10 minutes then tried to take me off my very important meds. Afterwards she would hold my meds hostage, cancel appts with very little notice, and was EXTREMELY rude the entire sessions. Don't go here if you need meds that keep you from k---ling yourself because she will push you to that point.
