I certainly hope I'd never need to recommend this doctor for the sole reason that it would mean that person is going through the hellacious post-cancer reconstruction process. But if I did know of someone in that position, I would certainly tell them to consult with this doctor for their treatment.

Reasons for my score. (1) Dr. Herbig got sidetracked onto a topic unrelated to the reason for my visit. (2) Dr. Herbig shared with me her belief that some surgical patients are more deserving than others. (3) Dr. Herbig clearly believed that I am a poor medical historian, questioning me over and over again about my surgical history, which I remember very clearly.

I chose Dr Herbig in 2011 as my [...]. She and Dr. [...] made an incredible surgical team! Her expertise, artist abilities, and skill are a blessing to many. I'm grateful to have her caring for me. She patiently listens and answers all questions each visit. 13 years later, she performed an implant exchange and wow the outcome is PERFECT!
