Richard M. Herman, M.D.

Office staff very unfriendly. Office waiting room depressing. Care is satisfactory!

Dr Herman and Dr Mass didn't listen when I told them both I might have achalasia. Was told I was 'too young' and had to just 'deal with it until you get better, there's not much we can do'.. I got 10x times worse. I lost 60 lbs in a year, barely able to eat! I am currently going to Temple Hospital and was told it is achalasia!!!!! You need to listen to your patients doc!

Dr Herman was exceptional. He took the time to discuss my concerns fully and he listened and made me feel he truly cared about resolving my concerns.

This is a review of my experience when I went to see Dr Herman about a bit of pain in my right ear drum. 1. The office staff was very pleasant 2. The problem was clearly stated to Dr Herman. He did a visual inspection of the right ear drums d said it was a bit dry and that there was nothing more to see. He prescribed antibiotic drops which didnt make sense since there was no infection. Dr Herman left the room and came back with an assistant who had a 3 foot long black device which was then abruptly put up my nose to see my sinuses with no explanation. I did not come in for sinus problems so why did he do this? It was, unnecessary, VERY unpleasant and uncomfortable. Then Dr Herman had me see the audiologist. Why? My hearing was not the issue just some discomfort in my right ear. The audiologist brought me back and told me the equipment hadnt been working properly but it might be ok this time. She ran a standard hearing test battery (Ive been through this before) but why? I didnt come in for a hearing problem. Only for some discomfort Im my right ear. Again, an unnecessary procedure. The icing on the cake was when I mentioned some jaw pain on the same side as my ear problem. Dr Herman had me open my mouth and he wheezed inside my mouth unnecessarily hard. You dont need to apply that much strength to ascertain a jaw or muscle condition. I left the office feeling worse than when I came in. I also feel that there were a number of unnecessary procedures that were performed to simply add to the insurance billing. I would not recommend Dr Herman to anyone. However, I have heard positive mention of other Doctors in the same office and will be sure to see them next time.
