Dr. Hershberger is always great when I visit. Answers all my questions; tells me what is going on. The surgery on my varicose veins went very well & was a surprisingly pleasant experience. His nurse Brie is also awsome! Love her.

I had a minor vascular operation/procedure scheduled with Dr. Hershberger, and was quite nervous even though it wasn’t a major undergoing. Takwanya was in charge of the preparations, and was absolutely amazing at not only getting everything ready and explaining what would happen, but at making me feel completely relaxed and easing my apprehensions. She’s a real asset to Dr. Hershberger’s practice.

Maybe we caught Dr Hershberger on a bad day. One of the rudest and most obnoxious people we’ve ever met.

I couldn't be anymore satisfied than I am today. Came into Dr. Hershberger's office with very bad bone infection of the ankle. Poor circulation. Was looking at the possibility of loosing my leg Today I can say I have my leg and foot. He is awsome. He is very easy to talk to explained things as he went along, always gives the whole scoop of what's going on and what needs to be done. Would recommend him to anyone.

Ultrasound Tech was so unfriendly and cold. It was an unpleasant experience to be made to feel like a burden in someone's day. I should have left.

Dr. Hershberger has been treating my vacular issues for several months now and i couldn't be more pleased with the care I'm receiving. He listens to you as a patient , explained everything as we went along. I'm afraid you don't find these qualities go often any more. Thank you Dr. Hershberger.
