Patient Comment:

A doctor who actually cares for the people that he takes care of. He is the kind of doctor that you wish all doctors were like. If he is stumped by something he will not treat it until he has researched and discussed it with other doctors (even if it means while you are there at that time). And I just love the bowtie that he wears.

Comments: I find him to be a wonderful man as well as doctor.
He is very compassionate and helpful and thorough.
He keeps up well with his patients lab values, returns his own calls, and even gave me driving directions to a place of testing!! I would recommend him to ANYONE.
Comments: After receiving four months of bad medical advice &
treatment through another Dr. in Pensacola, Florida, I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Herrera in Mobile. He is a truly a wonderful, caring, knowledgeable physician. My HMO will not pay for me to see Dr. Herrera but to be under his competent care, I will pay whatever the cost. I'm a nurse and my husband is a physician. He agrees, there is no other physician on this earth as exceptional as Dr. Herrera. I wish I could clone him for everyone else.
