Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Sheerer has been my doc for many years.Caring dedicated doctor. Always address my concerns.

Dr Sheerer was my physician for 13 years. I recently moved to Delaware and miss him very much. He was always willing to take the time to know his patient as a whole human being and not just a. Problem or diagnosis. I would not qualify for patient of the year but he always had time to listen to me. He was very understanding and also very thorough in his assessments. I recommended him to my son and daughter in law and he is now their physician. Doctors like him are very difficult to find and I worked as a healthcare administrator for 35 years before retirement. Phenomenal physician!!!

I became a patient of Dr. Sheerer based on the reviews online. I regret it and am now looking for another doctor. I've been sick twice in the last few months. Each time, I waited at least 4 days with no relief before reaching out for medical advice. The first time, he called in four meds (with refills for the next year) without seeing me. I thought that was convenient, but the second time I was not happy. That is not the type of doctor I am looking for.
