Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I would recommend Dr. Herbst to anyone, He has been my Dr for 25 plus years, and when I moved away from Indpls 13 years ago to Northern IN, I still kept him as my Dr. I travel almost 2 hrs one way and will continue to do so. He is a wonderful man and is in the for his patients.
