Dr was obviously doing something wrong or the dea would not suspend him.(his dea #) but to call others junkies... i dont see anyone concerned about anything but pain meds, and there are plenty of pain clinics and other pallative care physicians in pittsburgh. IF you have genuine pain then any of those physicians would be more than happy to help!! But i doubt they will give the doses dr herndon would for monthly cramps :)

After my motorcycle wreck I Broke my C-7 vertabrae in my neck. Shattered my ankle to the point i walk with a permenant limp broke both my thumbs and was in the hospital for weeks. and bedridden for 6 months they said id never work again; After going to Dr. Herndon he gave me a thorough exsm, was very knowledgeable and treated me with respect. His treatment allowed me to return to work and resume and normal life. Its shame the a Good DR gets Harassed by the DEA... now where are his Chronic pain patients going to go now???

Don't go to Dr. Windbush looking for help. She won't even schedule an appointment with you unless she get's Dr. Herndons records first!

I've been going to this doctor for some time now. After all of this mess with his lisence revoked, where are his patients supposed to go now? The ones that were NOT drug seeking. I'm very conerned because I can't just stop taking my medicines. I suffer from chronic pain from a horrific accident that I was in. This doctor understood my problems. Are there any other doctors like him who can actually help me? Please help if anybody out here knows of a doctor they think is a good one.

i have gone to dr herndan for almost a year and he is great,im a mother of 5 and have had non stop back pain now for 15 yrs since after i had many epidorals when haveing my children,he talks to his patients,and ppl are sayin bad things about this man,i have had a urine test every month from the day i started goin to this dr,i also have fibromyalga and i must admit that since i have started seeing him i have been able to function as a normal person,there have been days when i wasnt able to even get out of bed due to my back,and my legs hurting so bad,he gave me my life back and thats how i see it,i must agree with the person below me it only takes a few drug addicts to ruin something i have had nothing but problems trying to get my medication filld and there have been 2 times when i did find them and had to pay cash due to the fact that the pharmacy would not accept insurance only cash,he is a great man and should not be talked about so badly.he is a life saver in my book

Dr.Herndon is a fantastic Doctor. I have been going to him for a few years now. The staff is terrific and very nice. It is a shame that many pharmacies won't fill his perscriptions. Especially the ones who really need it like myself. The drug addicts really screwed it up for us. and it is horrible that I cannot get my perscription filled to save my life. Literally. I may be only 26 years old but my medicine allows me to be able to move and function for work and my everyday activities. But even though I am only 26 I have had multiple surgeries on my back, and will have to go for another one. Therefore I have very chronic severe back pain that prevents me from doing anything without the help of Dr Herndon. If it wasn't for him. I wouldn't be able to have a normal life and function. So thank you to an amazing doctor and wonderful staff

Dr. Herndon is the reason I can continue to work despite the serious injuries I suffered in a fall. Others just wanted to do surgeries with no real assurance of recovery. They said I was disabled. Thanks to Dr. Herndon I am not. I thank him and my family thanks him
