Mark Herman's Online Review Report Card

Rude, dismissive, condescending and misogynistic. We've never had a worse experience with a doctor. Not one person in that office was masked, including him, and he expects people to trust him doing surgery?

Dr. Herman has to be one of the most incompetent and dangerous doctors I’ve met. He is making critical medical decisions and conclusions without reviewing patient history.

Dr. Herman does not have the best bedside manner. He did answer our questions but he was very short in answering our questions.

First, let me say that Dr. Martinovsky (my surgeon), Dr. Lucas, and Dr. Urban all saw me at the hospital and they were wonderful. I had my gallbladder out and a draining pump was put in. I couldn’t get an appointment until 18 days after surgery to get the pump removed. Well one week before I was to get the pump out I felt a pop and a sharp pain. Some stitches broke and the pump was pulled out a bit. I became very ill that night. I was in complete pain. I called the next day (Friday) to see if they could get me in earlier. They couldn’t. Dr. Herman was on call and he was extremely rude. I told him how much pain I was in and he said to call the office on Monday and possibly have my appointment moved up from Thursday. I told him I could not wait that long and I wanted to go to the ER. He told me that they would do nothing for me at the hospital. They would not pull out the pump or restitch me. All they would do is give me pain medicine which I already had and it wasn’t working. I stayed home that night and the pain became excruciating. I began twitching like a person with Parkinson’s. I went to the ER on Saturday. My white blood cell count was at 24. It is supposed to be 10 or less. The doctors and nurses were concerned because I clearly had a horrible infection. Thank goodness the young PA from this office came in and I told him what Dr. Herman said to me. He immediately took out the pump. It was instant relief. Afterwards Dr. Herman came in and was surprised the pump was out. He wasn’t going to do it. He was annoyed he had to come in and told me I was fine and should just go home. He even said that whatever was wrong with me had nothing to do with the surgery! Thank goodness my PCP knew how serious it was and I stayed in the hospital for 4 days before my white blood cell count came down. If I had waited like he told me I could have become septic and died. Dr. Herman has wonderful credentials but he clearly doesn’t care about patients. He didn’t want to come in because he was on call. Well sorry that is part of your job. He needs to retire if he cannot give patients the proper care.

I’ve had multiple operations in my life and I know my way around a hospital. Dr. Herman spoke honestly with me, got right down for business, and offered a solution to my problem. Proud to call him my Doc!

Dr. Herman does not have the best bedside manner, but one should not care about that in an emergency. It took him a couple of days to come see me, but he did, and answered all my questions. No complaints!

Saw this doctor once regarding an aortic aneurism. He told me to quit smoking, as most doctors do. On my way home, my primary care doctor called me and had just spoken with Dr. Herman. He told her that he would refuse to treat me if I didn't stop smoking immediately. He didn't have the balls to tell me that to my face, which infuriated me. Needless to say I found another doctor who was happy to do the surgery and all went well.

Expert at robotic surgery. Especially very caring and intuitive doctor.

Poor surgical technique. Poor patient communication. Might suggest seeking other medical surgical care.
