Please do not go to this man with any serious injury. The Cleveland Clinic even after an MRI missed broken bones, torn cartilage, torn tendons, and damage to my joint. He sent me to PT and told me it would be fine. I went back after him telling me, “I just needed time”. I explained to him how my ankle was declining daily and asked what could be the next steps because I wasn’t getting better. I lived in constant pain for 7 months at that point. He said I needed a second MRI and insurance already paid for one, so he doubted I ... read more

Dr Herbert had made me insoles a decade ago. I was having foot problems and had several drs tell me they couldn't do anything. Dr Herbert fixed my bunion, shortened 3 metatarsal bones and fused my hammer toes. Im almost 5 months post op, still walking with a cane but doing much better. I have a beautiful foot now and can walk pretty much pain free, (still healing), and mostly from stiff legs due to so much time in bed and lack of use. I fought tooth and nail for PA, he was right, (again), I didn't need it. Im glad he held hi... read more

Lack of care and responsiveness led to a 6+ week delay in treatment resulting in lost time, emotional distress, limited knowledge and a necessary change in physician and hospital systems to get the appropriate treatment.

I had been suffering from plantar fasciitis & a bone spur on the same foot for over eight years. I've tried traditional treatments. SURGERY was my last resort. I had the surgery August 2021. I wish I had done it years ago. Dr. Herbert & his team did an exceptional job. They took great care of me during the entire process. I had absolutely NO PAIN right after surgery & no pain during the healing process. The surgical site is completely healed & there's no scar! You can't even tell I had surgery. I NO LONGER SUFFER FROM PAIN!!... read more

His treatment ended in amputation. His care was careless and uncaring

I had multiple issues with my left foot that stemmed from a previous surgeon. Dr Herbert ordered an MRI instead of making a knee jerk diagnosis. Although it wasn't conclusive as to the main issue, the MRI did find 2 neuroma's. The neuromas were removed, a dissolvable pin was inserted and 3 screws were placed. Not sure why a second dissolvable was not placed but Dr Herberts reasoning sufficed. He made it clear that he had a plan but that he may have to make "game time" decisions during surgery. He is very up front and thoroug... read more

Dr Herbert did not explain anything about the condition he diagnosed by x rays. He gave me no follow up instructions and did not have me schedule another visit ( which I wouldn’t have anyways). He spent part of my visit whining about how many patients he is expected to see a day. The man has a clear case of burn out and it definitely is affecting his job. I drove 3 hours to see an MD employees by The Cleveland Clinic and Instead of getting excellent care I got charged $1700 for subpar service. This was a waste of my time.

He solved my plantar problem and made orthotic inserts that held up for years as I went from fat to runner. Much better than isnerts that I got from other doctor who had me stand in a foam box to make model for inserts. The inserts I got from there cost more and lasted less than a year. Dr. Herbert puts your foot in proper position and applies plaster -old school but accurate. Good sense of humor, answers questions well.
