Patient Reviews
Jan 27, 2021
Dr. Herrington performed my first-ever colonoscopy and I am extremely pleased with the care given by Dr. Herrington and his staff. Dr. Herrington is very professional; he introduced himself and gathered the information he needed before the procedure, then took the time to fully explain the results. Dr. Herrington is easy to talk with and his personality carries over to his staff. I could not be more pleased with my visit and recommend Dr. Herrington and his staff.
