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 initially saw Dr Herndon for sciatica, severe enough that I was unable to work. After seeing multiple physicians and using various modalities without success, I found her. Within a few treatments, I was able to return to work as a nurse, pain free. Five years later, I sought her help again for a very painful knee injury. I initially saw orthopedics and was told they couldn’t do anything for the pain I was experiencing, and to just ‘deal with it.’ Again, within a couple of visits with Dr. Herndon, my pain was manageable. By the third visit, it was gone. I was NOT looking for narcotic pain relief, simply something to allow me to function. We collaborated and mutually agreed on a plan of action. I highly recommend Dr Herndon and her nurse, Cindy. Both are caring, compassionate and interested in the well being of their patients. Dr Herndon is a skilled provider and very competent pain management physician. Excellent care!

I am a failed back fusion patient and have had many other ortho surgeries. Dr. Herndon show great compassion, but professionalism as well. You will be a team, you agree to follow her protocols and you will find her trying everything to find a solution to your pain. She has a small office with hands on care to all her patients. I have referred many people to her, and all are still seeing her.

I am most pleased with the treatment and care given by Dr. Herndon. I have severe scoliosis which has caused tremendous pain. Each time I have been to Dr. Herndon I have had relief. The last time I was in for treatment it has lasted me a very long time.
