Dr. Herrick is a Board Certified Family Physician with decades of experience. He treats the whole family and his established patients have direct, timely access to him.  Consults can also be arranged conveniently using his online calendar. Fees are fair and are often lower than insurance plan co-pays.  Dr. Herrick spends the time necessary to understand your concern and provide you with clear recommendations.  Welcome to Direct Primary Care, a traditional type of Family Practice.

Being a general practice, board certified Family Physician, Dr. Herrick treats medical conditions like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, thyroid, cancer screening, men's health issues, smoking addiction, obesity, and anxiety/depression.  

Payments are handled the traditional way -- directly between patient and physician without the interference and limitations imposed by insurance carriers. This is called Direct Primary Care (DPC) and creates easier access to your doctor for fees that are fair and often lower than insurance plan co-pays. 

Dr. Herrick encourages everyone to have health insurance for expensive medical workups or catastrophic care, but many routine issues are more easily and quickly handled via the DPC model.
