I have had numerous colonoscopies with Dr Herrington, a upper GI and my husband has had numbererous throat procedures with great success .   He has been very informative and thorough on every occasion.  His gentle nature is very comforting and has a wonderful bed side manner. His staff was so thoughtful and caring and attentive.  I highly recommend Dr Herrington.
