Message from Dr. Abraham:

Please do not have water beads anywhere near young children. It looks like candy and if swallowed, can cause intestinal blockage which may be deadly.

Water beads can be deadly to children and are sending thousands to the ER each year. Experts say they shouldn’t be in homes with young kids.

Dr. Mark Herbers MD

It is a joy for him to be with kids every day, from newborns to adolescents. Every age has new and different wonders and challenges. He loves accompanying parents on the journey as we care for their children.

Outside of work, Dr. Herbers likes to spend time with family and friends. He enjoys learning about almost anything, especially God and nature. For fun, he hikes in the woods, birdwatches, and sings in his church choir. He especially likes traveling to foreign countries and being immersed in cultures completely different than our own.
