Everyone, and I do mean everyone from the receptionists to the nurse to the doctor, was so friendly! I've never felt more welcome in a doctor's office than I did here. Dr. Herline was great. He was very easy to talk to and explained everything thoroughly. I have already told a few family members and friends if they ever need a specialist in this area, they need to come to this practice.

The doctor was extremely friendly, respectful, and seemed to genuinely care. I felt heard, and confident about my next steps for the first time in awhile, but his mannerisms in general just made it a much nicer experience than it has been in the past. Easily some of the best bedside manner I've experienced in a long time.

Given all that I have been through in the last year and a half the only thing he really wanted to talk about was how he wont consider surgery until I loose 40lbs. This has become such a huge issue with male doctors in particular. The answer to everything is you have to loose weight.

Hi, good afternoon. So the good part is they have a process and they listen to the patient's concern and they provide the ointment, all those things. So they listen to the patient. But the sad part is they have a very fixed time that they give to the patient. And if you have more doubts, the actual doctor wouldn't come again. You'll be having only the PAs or the nurses that come again. And second thing is they sometimes, the doctor verbally dictated the oral lexatives. So the lexatives like mirror labs or
