Dr Herwig is a true gift to my family. My boys experienced back to back sicknesses this past year and she handles every single one with kindness, grace, and honesty. She’s transparent, educated and respectful.

Can I give her a 0? She doesn't even deserve 1 star. We have consistently asked for help and diagnosis for REPEATED health problems. Herwig does nothing. She tries to get in and out as quickly as possible, and refuses to further investigate anything beyond a simple cold, even when problems are persistent and repeatedly present (ie my daughter's stomach issues, pain issues, lack of appetite, etc etc etc). And just yesterday she prescribed my daughter amoxicillin for flu. Wonderful.
