Meet Dr. Monica Herrera

She received her medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine and completed her residency at Texas Children's Hospital, the largest children's hospital in the nation.

Although, she did not become a surgeon she enjoys all facets of General Pediatrics. She has been in practice for 25 years and continues to find her job very fulfilling. Her passion is to teach children and their families the importance of their well being. She focuses on the whole child- physical as well as the mental and emotional aspects. As an experienced pediatrician, she understands that each child and their family are unique, and require individualized care because she becomes part of their medical family.
Dr. Herrera is currently serving as Vice-Chairman for the Dept. of Pediatrics at Texas Health Frisco and in the past was Chairman of the Dept. of Pediatrics at Texas Health Plano.
Dr. Herrera is a parishioner at Prince of Peace Catholic Community. She likes to give back to her community by giving scholarships to children to attend Catholic School. She is currently Medical Director and on the Board for Birth Choice and in the past she served on the Board for the Catholic Foundation of Dallas.
Dr. Herrera is married and has 3 grown children. When she is not at work she enjoys running, going to concerts, practicing piano and spending time with her husband, 2 beagles and parrot .
Her mantra is, "My goal is to help kids live happy healty lives!"

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.
