Very good experience. Dr Hergenrother is very thorough and capable. He always does a great job explaining test results and offering advice. His nurse is great too as she makes the administrative side of the practice run very well.

Patient Reviews
Diagnosed with hypertension at age 9, I've had a lifetime of battling it. I had five strokes before I was introduced to Dr. John Hergenrother. With no hope I had anything except more strokes in my future, I told him and his assistant Kim, my expectations for success did not exist. I was simply waiting until another stroke debilitated me or killed me.
Kim's response was: "We'll see about that."
She was right. With Dr. Hergenrother's care, my blood pressure is lower. Best of all, I have advisors who can respond with solutions whenever issues have occured, and of course they have.
But no strokes in the thirteen years I've been their patient.
Needless to say, yet I will say it. I cannot express how grateful I am that I have been able to enjoy my grandchildren, continue driving them home from school and maintain a household. None of this would have been mine without Dr. Hergenrother and Kim's expertise.
Dr. Hergenrother was very professional and thorough. He explained everything in an understandable way.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Hergenrother for over ten years. He is always very thorough. He is very pleasant and easy to talk with. Supportive and listens to my questions and concerns.
Great experience, Dr. Hergenrothger is easy to talk to and, most importantly, listens to you
