I just felt unheard and dismissed. I'll make sure to see another doctor somewhere else next time. The nurse assisting me was amazing though and the front counter person was also amazing. To bad. I pre paid for the appointment and now they are trying to charge more. Haha The doctor was only in the room for 5 minutes

Doctor should have explained the procedure which he recommended me, that what are the side effects of that procedure, because he recommended me to put some kind of gadget and he just told that it will be forever. When I asked him for how long, he said it's forever, but he should have explained me that I might get infections with that thing in my body or no, it's very safe or what are the consequences and if doesn't work then what's next? He did not explain anything of this one. He should have.

Alan was very forthcoming with all information and this doctor's office ran quicker than anything I've ever seen. He said he'd be back in a second and he literally is back in a second. It was baffling to me and I really appreciate it in such a sensitive manner. Thank you.

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.
