I had cataract surgery with Dr. Herring. I cannot say enough good about my experience. The surgery center is a well oiled machine staffed with outstanding, friendly, compassionate nurses, anesthesiologist, clerks, all involved. I was treated so well and everything was done in the exact manner you would hope for in any medical procedure.

My cataract surgery could not have gone better! The entire clerical and medical staff, Tricia, Claire, Krissy, Tanisha, and Bene, were all kind and highly skilled. I trusted them as they did a tremendous job caring for me, start to finish. I highly recommend them.
