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.

This dr. was attending physician for the hospice my husband was using. My husband passed away and it took him 2 weeks to sign the death certificate. 2 weeks that the funeral home called leaving messages. After I got involved he signed the death certificate. Think twice before using this dr. He may let your love one lay on a cold slab in a funeral home. He is uncaring. Think twice before using such an uncaring person. I gave him one star but he should not be given anything. I couldn’t publish without it.

Dr. Sheerer is by far the best doctor in town. I've never seen him before and to be honest I was very hesitant. I have been seeing my family doctor who wasn't taking my problems seriously. I told Dr. Sheerer, and he LISTENED!! It was a huge relief. I will be seeing Dr Sherrer from now on.

I have been going to Dr Sherrer for over 15 years. And I usually don't recommend anyone, but I would highly recommend Dr Sherrer he is a Doctor who does care about his patients. And when my 72 year old mother keep hearing me talk about what a great doctor he was she went to him and just loved him with her medical care.

He's very knowledgeable, kind, caring and compassionate. It's hard to find doctors like Dr. Sherrer. I hope he doesn't retire anytime soon!

Poor customer service by staff within the Ooltewah office. They lost my son's medical records. When trying to complete an immunization form for school, they asked us to come back with our personal copies. They will use those to replace lost records & complete school form. We returned with copies and was directed to Health Department to have forms completed. Found out nurse Jess didn't know how to complete the simple form...or didn't want to. Very unprofessional; we are leaving the office.
