Providence Patient
Dr. Herder has been my PCP for several years and I have been extremely pleased with her care. I felt forced to transfer care to Dr. Herder due to repeatedly very poor experiences with my prior PCP at another clinic not associated with Providence Medical Group following a severe medical event (multiple pulmonary emboli in all major pulmonary arteries, a pulmonary saddle embolus, and right heart failure). Although Dr. Herder's practice was closed to new patients, she agreed to accept me due to the severity of my medical issues. I am forever grateful to her for her professionalism, kind demeanor, medical knowledge and very capable care.
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
I trust Dr Herder with my care. She is always looking out for the best way to treat me as a patient
Providence Patient
I've had overall very positive experience - but on the occasion it can be hard to be seen. I've had to go to urgent care because a same-day appointment wasn't available and wasn't for three days - which I thought was a little odd when complaining of a potential bladder infection. My husband has also had difficulty getting in for same-day unexpected illness. So now we do have our preferred urgent care - but ideally there would be time slots available for same-day urgency - alas, there are potentially many patients vying for an appointment. I prefer to think urgent care offices are for after-hour care/weekend illness, but now it seems it's for weekday too. Either way - I'm grateful for caring medical professionals whom I've experienced at both this clinic and at urgent care. So I consider myself lucky in that sense.

My provider interacted with me professionally and take her time to listen to my concerns. I am satisfied with my appointment.
