 |  Too Long of Wait and Too Many Visits  |  show details

I used Dr. Herman for a few years until I fired him. My chief complaint was that he would diagnose precancer spots and not take care of the problem (remove with dry ice) during that visit. He would reschedule me for another visit just to freeze off any precancer. He basically was doing this to make more money. Unacceptable. Also, everytime I went in for an appointment I had to wait over an hour. The last time he failed to see me and I waited an hour I told the receptionists to inform Dr. Franco that he was fired and I walked out. You should of seen the look on her face. I guess most people don't fire their doctors that way. I did.

 |  Horrendous wait time and crowded waiting room area  |  show details
by O. Bolton (Retired Army Vet) on Mar 24th, 2010

I went to see Dr.Peter Herman. I left after waiting time of 2 hours plus, patient waiting area crowded. Some patients were waiting outside (3). I wouldn't reccomend this clinic. After I complained to El Paso VA clinic, Dr. Herman P. saw me within 5 minutes of arrival. I never went back for my follow-up Appt.

 |  the staff is terrible, dr. peter herman is nice  |  show details

Terrible service. Told to come in waited over 3 hours. Staff couldn't care a less. Walk in and no hello, nothing. They also want you to give them your credit card information (even if you have insurance) and to sign a form that allows them to charge an undetermined amount to the card in the event the insurance doesn't cover everything for example. They don't tell everyone you have the right to refuse to do that and still be seen. Very unprofessional staff. Front office has next to no customer skills, doctor's assistants in the back seem to all run around in circles. The doctor is a very nice man who peddles expensive products. If you have time to burn and can endure the staff, the doctor is worth it.
