I am so grateful for Dr Herrington. He really listens and explains things in ways that are easy to understand. After suffering for years and not getting anywhere with my family doctor, I finally have someone that is helping me get better.

I saw Dr. Craig Herrington yesterday and thought he was absolutely fantastic! So helpful and knowledgeable. I loved the fact he didn't push any supplements and prescriptions on me,. Instead he suggested changes in my everyday life that were obtainable and easy to accomplish. He also suggested some vitamins that aren't super expensive and can be found anywhere. He was super friendly and asked lots of questions. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients, not making money! Would highly recommend. Thanks Dr. Herrington.

I’ve met with Dr. Herrington in-person and what a pleasure he is to work with!

Not only is his approach scientific and data-driven, but I truly felt heard. (So often it seems GPs want you in and out ASAP and don’t leave enough time to answer questions unless you have a pressing medical issue that requires immediate attention.) He was very thorough, very attentive and I left feeling like I had a solid plan of action I could accomplish, with a focus on what is good for health but also sustainable long-term.

10/10 would recommend to anyone.

I cannot even explain how much Craig has helped me in just two visits. He has not helped me from selling me herbs or giving me false information that he can profit from but by providing me with helpful advice and suggestions backed up by research. His podcast recommendations, the talks we have around body image and his perspective on how to maintain wellness and on balance and moderation has changed my entire life. I am extremely grateful beyond words to work with Craig and cannot provide enough starts for this professional.

I saw Dr. Herrington shortly after finishing cancer treatment. I was looking to help my body recover from all the treatment I had received. After retelling him everything I had already wrote in my intake form, he only told me to exercise and eat more vegetables, then recommended I come back in 6 weeks. It was very underwhelming.

Craig Herrington's response
Thank you for the feedback. I can appreciate the underwhelming nature of such advice, unfortunately it is less than 8% of the population that is adhering to the guidelines set by the World Cancer Research Foundation for cancer prevention and the avoidance of reoccurrence. https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/about. To be clear when cancer does occur, or reoccur it is never the fault of the individual or that they somehow didn't try hard enough lifestyle wise.

I can also appreciate the desire for an individual, post cancer treatment, to be as pro-active as possible. This often includes multiple supplements, lab tests, and even intravenous vitamin injections or detox treatments, many of which have little evidence (and some harm) to support them. Opportunity costs and financial toxicity can be great.

I realize that my prescriptions for social connections, adequate sleep, mental health support, whole food diets, appropriate supplements (when indicated), and regular, consistent exercise do lack a lot of pizzazz associated with naturopathic medicine.

I wish you all the best in your health journey.

Dr. Herrington has been amazing in terms of helping me create balance in my life physically, mentally and emotionally. He takes the time to listen and understand the whole picture. He then provides well researched evidence based information and a plan that will best suit my lifestyle. I trust his recommendations and have noticed great improvement in my life as a result.

Love that he doesn't sell supplements and is both science/evidence-based but also holistic. Evidence-based includes knowledge of what research says about the psychology behind making lifestyle changes too.

I have been treated by many health care providers throughout the years. The experience with Dr Herrington was most helpful in pulling together pieces of the heath puzzle through additional knowledge and a concise plan. Fantastic!
