I have been in the medical field for 30+ years and I've been very fortunate to have learned from some of the best resident & attending physicians in the world. I trained at the University of Alabama Hospital & The Kirklin Clinic in Birmingham,Alabama (late 80's & early 90's). I am taking time to write this review because people seldom reward excellent physicians but will readily post negative things. It became very clear that Dr.Pascual ( "Dr Pat") Herrera,M.D. was,and is, a notch above the rest. His medical knowledge base is outstanding. We all know that, as in other professions, a solid knowledge base is required for future learning. I think I can sum it up by saying this:"I would choose Dr. Herrera as my personal physician AND would want him to be my family members' physician as well". Thank You for providing this opportunity to express my personal experience & observations. Very Sincerely & Respectfully, Dr.Barry Burns (Cherokee County Alabama)
