Herd James MD

I started going to Dr. Herd before I had my kids, so over 7 years ago. It’s hard to find a good doctor that you trust. And when I found Dr Herds office, I was satisfied. Dr. Herd wasn’t that personable, it could be with just me, that maybe he didn’t quite like me, I don’t know, but I wan’t going in for a friend, I was going for checkups and later for my babies. I never felt uncomfortable so I thought it fine. His staff were always so nice to me, especially his nurse Trish, she treated me great, especially this last time. We had a lot of pleasant conversations. His office moved during my 1^st pregnancy, and I think his business got bought off by a larger business, because when they moved they said they didn’t accept Tricare, but I was grandfathered in because I started before they moved. So I couldn’t go back to his office after the baby was born, (for my regular check ups) until I got back on my work insurance. So after that I just used my family doctor for Paps, until I got pregnant again.
For the 2^nd baby I went back to Dr Herd just because I wanted my kids to have the same delivery doctor. I don’t know why that was important to me.
His office was always so nice. I started on my work insurance, but then hurt my back, so had to go on medical leave and get on Medicaid. I was on Tricare and Medicaid, and they still accepted me. After I went back to work, about 3 or 4 months after the baby was born, I went back to my work insurance.
Well Dr. Herds office started billing my work insurance for all the baby care. Which leaves me to believe they got paid from Tricare and Medicaid and wanted some more from my work insurance.
I started getting statements from my work insurance, and from Medicaid.
A year and half later I got a bill in the mail for Dr. Herds office for a few hundred dollars. Tricare and Medicaid would pay for everything, so I shouldn’t have received any bills, but then with them billing a 3^rd insurance that I wasn’t using at the time, I definitely shouldn’t have received any bills, but I did. Of course I didn’t pay it, but got hounded and hounded to pay it, then it went to collections. So needless to say I wouldn’t be going back to Dr. Herds office. Additionally, my work insurance was paying the bills they submitted all the way up until the year time frame allowed, even though they weren’t supposed to… then I got a letter from my work insurance that the appeal that Dr. Herds office made on a denial of payment was rejected because they didn’t bill them within the year time frame,…so now Dr. Herds office is trying to come after me for the money… such BS.

I have been using Dr. Herd’s and my oldest daughter was born Si 14 yrs. I recommend him highly to any body in the Fort Worth or surrounding area. I live in Weatherford and make the drive to see him. The only downside I have to his office is sometimes there is a long wait but you’re going to have that when you have an OB that I can have emergency deliveries. And they even offer free valet parking to the parking garage!
