MaleAbout Mark Herndon
I was born and raised in Greenville, but after graduating from the University of South Carolina I was on active duty in the U.S. Air Force as an aviator aboard B-52 H-bombers. It was during my time in the Air Force that I decided I wanted to pursue something different.
On the advice of a family member, I studied for medical school and ultimately attended the Medical College of Georgia, followed by a five-year residency in General Surgery that I completed in 2010.
I am currently the Chief of Surgery at Laurens County Hospital, and practicing general surgery is a dream come true! My areas of interest are in gallbladder and hernia surgery, although I also do endoscopies. I feel blessed to care for my patients using a compliment of surgical and medical therapies.
My wife and I enjoy traveling and being involved in our church in Simpsonville, and I also serve on the Board of Directors for Toccoa Falls College and guest lecture in their School of Nursing. I started playing drums at the age of four and I’m still at it today.
I have three grown sons – the youngest is almost 18, and while being a father has been a blessing, I am ready for that “empty nest”!
I’ve been part of Prisma Health since 2019, and I look forward to serving the people of my community for years to come.

Dr. Herndon was very personable and knowledgeable. He did not press me to make a quick decision, he told me to call or email if I had any questions. He went over my scan with me to educate me on my condition.

Everything and everyone was perfect. I had a great experience with the whole office. Doctor Herndon explained the whole process/procedure before he got started and made sure that I understood what was going to take place. I appreciate the whole office.

All good

I wouldn't change a thing. I was treated with respect and felt like I was very important from ALL staff. My surgeon Dr. Herndon went above and beyond during my hospital stay and my post op visit to make sure I felt my best and to make sure all my questions were answered. I also am choosing Dr Herndon to do my future colonoscopies. I totally trust him with my care. Thank you Dr Herndon for taking the best care of me during my surgery and after care!

There's nothing they could have done any better than what they did. I was very pleased with my surgeon. I was very pleased with the way everybody treated me, not mainly at the hospital with some of the nurses there, but the doctors were awesome. I would recommend them to anybody, my entire family. I have been blessed. God has sent the surgeons that were for me, and I thank you all for that.

Actually, there's not anyway. I think you could have done any better. Dr. Herndon was great, personable. He showed a lot of personal attention and care. And I would trust him and recommend him. In fact, I have done so already to my wife.

Dr Herndon was very thorough and helpful. He set my mind at ease that I absolutely didn't have appendicitis. He suggested a plan and ordered meds for my issue. I would definitely go back to see him if I had other issues.
