I would NOT recommend this doctor to anyone!! by Dorothy M. at InsiderPages

Be careful!! I would not take my child to her ever again. ?????? - dotmoran?????? - Today

my son was running a fever of 104 for several days. I took him to Dr. Hermann. She swore it was a virus called fifths disease or roceaola, both which include a rash. I explained to her that he had no rash and had been holding his head and ears. I also informed her of his acute ear infections and tubes in his ears during our consultation. She got her medical books out and started reading them to me, even after I told her I was familiar w/ both of these childhood illnesses. I went back 2 days later to see her again after he continued at 104 fever, and still had developed no rash. She told me to go get blood work done and white blood cell counts etc. and swore it was still 1 of these 2 viruses. She even wanted to give him a catheter and check for a UTI even after I told her that he is always hydrated and exhibited no sign of this type of infection. After my son continued to run a fever of 104 for 2 more days, I took him to Peachtree Park Peds where Dr. Kuo diagnosed him with a severe ear infection and immediatley put him on antibiotics. He was feeling better within hours, and the fever finally broke. Her staff is rude, the wait is insane, her biiling dept. sends me bills that I and my insurance have already paid and she REALLY needs to be investigated by the state board. I would NEVER recommend her to anyone. I paid her $300 to tell me to put my 1 year old on Motrin every 4 hours, tell me to make him a vegetarian and that hot dogs cause cancer. Unacceptable.

This is the doctor of my childhood!

I really, really recommend Dr. Herrmann. They really don't make them like her anymore. She is the kind of pediatrician I grew up with. She is thoughtful, thorough, timely and just all around pleasant. She does this job because she loves it, she does not "churn" patients in and out all day. She returns calls HERSELF!

On my first visit she spent about 45 minutes with us and I only waited for 10 to see her! (A HUGE change from the place I was going before.)

She took time to talk to me about environmental threats to my daughter, like BPA.

I can't say enough nice things about her.
