He joined Holy Cross in January 2019.

“I love working at Holy Cross for many reasons - the most important is our tremendous team of nurses, APPs, and dedicated nursing units that provide incredible care for our patients. Holy Cross is the only Hospital in Montgomery County that can offer our patients the full spectrum of neurosurgical care - including minimally invasive and complex spine surgery, cranial and spine oncology (LITT, endoscopic, minimally invasive approaches), vascular care (open and endovascular), and functional neurosurgery (including movement disorders and epilepsy)."

Dr. Herzig is a member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), Congress of Neurologic Surgeons (CNS), Southern Neurosurgical Society, and North American Spine Society (NASS). He participates in clinical training for neurosurgical residents at George Washington University, Walter Reed, and Johns Hopkins. He teaches the Goodman Neurosurgery Board review course and serves on committees for Holy Cross and NASS.

In his spare time, Dr Herzig enjoys cooking, traveling, motorcycles, NC State and Atlanta Falcons football, and time with his family - wife Jamie and sons (Knox and Duke).
