Ratings & Comments

At URMC, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their personal healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used to generate this vital information.

I am so glad that we chose Dr. Herendeen as our pediatrician. He has kindly and competently guided (and continues to guide) our family through health and illness. He is obviously knowledgeable and spends time explaining things to satisfaction. He always knows specifics about each child medically, but also takes the time to find out what they're doing in their lives (eg. Extracurriculars). He also recognizes my quirks as a parent and is never dismissive or condescending. I am not above bribing him to continue practicing until my kids age out!
