    Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.

    Patient Comments

    • July 1, 2022 He was friendly and professional.
    • June 30, 2022 We are very disappointed that Dr. Herber is leaving Laurel Creek, which is why we only rated this visit an 8 overall. It would have been a 10 if he were staying.
    • June 28, 2022 Dr . Herber is leaving AWFB and I hate it. He is a wonderful physician who cares deeply for his patients. I now must find a new physician and I am almost certain I will not find one who is as dedicated to the management of hi/her patients as he is. It is sad to see him go. May he find his new venture as a happy one and that is as successful as this one was. He will be missed!!!
    • June 28, 2022 De. HERBER is very kind and thorough. He listened to my concerns and worked with me to find solutions.
    • June 23, 2022 Dr Herber has been my doctor for many years. He is an excellent physician!
    • June 11, 2022 Dr Herber is concerned for his patients will hate to see him go.

    • May 21, 2022 De Herber was very polite and is honest about what the next step is for my treatment. Ordered extra test to have better answers as to what is going on with my health.

    • May 5, 2022 This man goes above and beyond what any reasonable physician would do for his/her patients. We communicate via messages at times and he answers them anytime day or night or weekends. I know he cares about my health or he would not take the time to do this.

    • April 4, 2022 1) With regard to nutrition advice used, it is NOT evidence based. Carbs are recommended, however, it is carbs that make people fat. Protein and fat are essential macro nutrients. Carbs are not. Atrium Health is contributing to obesity epidemic with nutrition recommendations. 3) With regard to fats, there is NO EVIDENCE that saturated fats contribute to heart disease. In fact, meta-analyses documents that those with the highest cholesterol live longer lives.

    Currently, not all doctor ratings and comments are available. The number of rated physicians will increase over time. 
    The more ratings a provider receives, the more accurate and statistically reliable the data is. Providers with less than 30 ratings may not have patient ratings listed on their profiles.
