Biography

Terence Herman, MD, earned his medical degree with high honors from the University of Connecticut Health Center. He completed his residency training in internal medicine and medical oncology at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center, followed by specialized training in radiation oncology at Stanford University Medical Center.

Dr. Herman served as Section Chief at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute within Harvard Medical School for seven years before being appointed Department Chair at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, where he led the department for fourteen years.

At each of these distinguished institutions, more than half of his clinical practice focused on hematology and oncology, with particular expertise in breast cancer, lymphomas, and leukemias. Since relocating to the Rio Grande Valley over five years ago, Dr. Herman has devoted his practice exclusively to general hematology and oncology.

A prolific scholar, Dr. Herman has authored more than 350 peer-reviewed publications and has been awarded six major federal research grants. He has also been recognized in numerous “Best Doctor” listings throughout his career.

Dr. Herman feels a deep connection to the patients of the Rio Grande Valley and is committed to providing prompt, compassionate care to individuals with any malignancy or hematologic condition.
