Dr Marie Gerhard-Herman is an excellent physician. I have been a patient of hers for several years and she is always thoughtful, knowledgeable. She is very interested in my health and my life. She is realistic with information and makes suggestions and hold me accountable when I may not eat the proper things. She has a great sense of humor, and tolerates my laundry list of questions!

I was very completely taken and set back by my provider. She was so easy to deal with and talk with and so informative. So felt very comfortable and couldn't give her higher marks. I would highly recommend her in the future to anyone else. But seriously, in my case, I was extremely happy with her and looking forward to the next visit with her. So anyway, I hope that's helpful.

Dr. Marie Gerhard-Herman is an excellent clinician. She really listens and considers my whole medical history before making recommendations. She is careful and cautious with making medication changes and also considers how those changes can affect my daily life (i.e., meds that increase fatigue are carefully weighed).

Dr. Gerhard enters the room like she is receiving a guest . She then reviews my health over the last 6 months. She's already read my EKG taken immediately as I arrived and her physical examination includes my Raynaud Syndrome which I see her for as well. I always feel relaxed, never feel "rushed" , and I know I'm "in good hands"!!!

Dr. Marie Gerhard-Herman, MD and Dr. [redacted] gave me a a thorough examination. What impressed me most was each doctor read my whole history prior to my visit. Lately, I have been experiencing many issues all at once. The pain in different areas of my body exhaust me to the point I have to stop whatever I am doing to rest. Each doctor showed empathy, sympathy and understood all I am going through. After my examination they collaborate with each other for a diagnosis. Both doctors are lovely. Many Blessings.

Dr. Marie Gearhart-Herman is perhaps one of the most conscientious, caring cardiologists on the staff at Brigham and Women's. I've known her for many years and she has never failed me in any respect. Done. Hello? I can't remember how I'm supposed to end this.

My provider wasn't the nicest but she wasn't mean. She didn't necessarily listen to my concerns. I tried to explain the scope of my problem and what my PCP said, and she told me she didn't care what my PCP said, only what she said about the issue. I didn't feel listened to and don't feel like I have a plan of moving forward even though I have a follow up in 6 months.
