Our son was born with a unique set of circumstances which required us to see Dr. Herman more frequently than usual. And for several months, we took our son to the clinic once a week and we saw Dr. Herman monthly for quite a while after that. In the many hours that we have spent in the clinic we have never felt like we were a burden or nuisance. Dr. Herman has always validated our concerns and many questions and on several occasions, when we were especially worried that our son was seriously ill, he made himself immediately available to us. For our son and for our family, he has provided us with exceptional care and we trust him implicitly.
