Marisse Herrera

Dr. Marisse Herrera is a D.O. and family medicine physician at Upper Echelon Medical in Fullerton.

Herrera spent nearly ten years practicing in the traditional medical model before making the shift to Direct Primary Care. That change is what drew Herrera to this way of practicing medicine, since it lets a physician give patients real time and attention instead of moving quickly from room to room. Without insurance rules dictating the pace of every visit, care can focus on what actually matters to the patient.

At Upper Echelon Medical, Herrera works to rebuild the kind of doctor-patient partnership that gets lost in high-volume practices, seeing fewer patients so each one gets a fuller hearing.
