I went to have an lumbar epidural steroid shot, and was VERY nervous....the IV sedation I was given didn't work (most likely due to just HOW stressed out I was?)....was given more (another full dosage)....still nothing....I was visibly shaking, and the pain was horrible!! When the needle went in,the tears were freely flowing, it was like what I imagine being stabbed is like....horrific. It was NOT like a "bee sting", or a "slight" pinch....the staff that were in attendance were terrific, they seemed genuinely concerned, and caring. I was given a prescription before I left for the pain...which, 3 days later, is still the same, no change,if anything, it's a bit worse than it was before the shot...Dr. Herland seemed caring and concerned, had a great bed-side manner...the problem is something to do with my body, not his work...thanks.

unable to talk to the doctor after the procedure, due to change in his office policies at St. Joe's. very frustrating, dealing with the staff, who were not at the procedure. I only asked for 3-5 mins. of his time to confirm expectations. Dr Herland has been extremely helpful in the past procedures.

I have to say that Dr Herland was wonderful. He took my MRI and put it up and explained, in regular words everything that he was looking at. I spent almost an hour with him. His staff was very helpful as well.
