Dr. Herrera continues to be an amazing doctor for our children. We have been going to her for close to 15 years and the care and attention she gives them is always exemplary. She takes time to build a relationship with our kids so they trust her. She is extremely thorough and is wonderful about explaining any issues she may see and recommending specialists if needed. No matter the distance from our home, we continue to bring our kids to Dr. Herrera because we know we can trust her to always do what is best for our kids.
