Dr. Erik Herman is board-certified by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine. He is a graduate of Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and completed his residency at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, studying under the nationally renowned Myron LaBan, MD.
Prior to joining Kennedy-White Orthopaedic Center in 1999, Dr. Herman spent two years as Associate Medical Director of Bayfront Medical Center's rehabilitation units. He joined Kennedy-White to focus on his interest in outpatient physical medicine, treating musculoskeletal pain and weakness without surgery. Dr. Herman is proud to have been selected by Sarasota Magazine for their annual Top Doctors edition in 2015.
Dr. Herman regularly sees patients with pain in their neck, back, shoulders, hips, legs, knees, hands, or feet who want a conservative treatment plan to avoid having surgery. Depending on what’s needed, he may prescribe medication, physical therapy, a home exercise program, or he may perform a cortisone injection. He believes in working with the patient to design the best program to meet their needs and get them better as fast as possible.
Dr. Herman also performs injections in the office under the guidance of ultrasound. Several medical studies have shown that this significantly improves the accuracy of the needle placement, can reduce the pain of the injection, and can improve the results when “blind” injections have failed.
An expert in electromyography (a computerized test that can determine if there is a “pinched” nerve or muscle disease), Dr. Herman has performed these tests for over 20 years and offers practical, problem-focused, and "gentle" EMG services. His goal is to figure out the source of your problem, as the most accurate diagnosis leads to the most effective treatment.
Dr. Herman's interest in physical medicine and rehabilitation draws from his experience as a collegiate gymnast and his extensive computer background (he began programming professionally at the age of 15). In addition, he enjoys golfing, exercising, and spending time with his beautiful wife and three daughters.

Incredible Dr. I've had the same test (where they send electricity through you) at another Dr's office and they practically had to peel me off the ceiling. With Dr Herman it was barely noticeable.
He is very kind and a great listen Dr.
Dr Herman is very kind, quick with the test and will tell you what he sees
The wait was long, but the service was excellent.
Very friendly. Made me feel very comfortable during testing. Very knowledgeable.
Very nice and understandable. Helps me feel better with PT
Excellent physician. Great staff. He listens. I highly recommend him and his team.
Very clear and thorough explanation of the procedure and recovery expectations.
Dr. Herman was a breath of fresh air. I thought he had outstanding bedside manners. Very peronal, explained every step of the test. He made me feel extremely comfortable. I gave Dr. Herman 5 stars because few docotors make you feel valued as a patient. Thank you for the outstanding care you provided me. I wish there were more docotors like you, Dr. Erb, and Vicky (ARNP) in your practice. You really made an impression. I have been in healthcare for over 30 years, and many providers forget your name more than the name on a chart. I was out of my appointment within 30 minutes. I highly recommend Dr. Herman, Dr.Erb, and Vicky. What a team. Thank You E Dunn
Very nice- always warned me of possible pain
