  1. She was very genuine in her interactions with me. I could tell she had done a significant amount of chart review prior to my visit, which allowed our time together to be focused on the current state of my condition, her in-office assessment/exam, and discussion about treatment options moving forward.

  2. I trust Dr Herzka and find her clear, kind, and skilled.

  3. As someone who's worked critical care for 30 years ... Ita hard to be a patient . She listened to all my concerns . I was a bit overwhelmed with home much time she took to speak with my husband and I and if this surgery was not only necessary but also outcomes for no surgery . Not only does her reputation speak alone amongst the medical community ( I was referred to her by a personal friend /ortho ) frommprob who said he'd have to refer out . He contacted his guys and called me back 10 min later she is the best and does more than anyone . I don't ever feel comfortable with OP surgicenters but after asking her why there VS hospital - I didn't feel pushed but rather completely understood and am comfortable going there . My experience with her and her staff was outstanding !
