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.

The best! I've had two major surgeries; my husband had a simple hernia and our daughter in Law one major surgery. Very thorough and clear pre-op and post-op explanations. Takes time to answer questions. Great follow-up phone calls and care.

My primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Sherman. After 8 attempts to schedule an appointment. I get a call from his office stating he will not see me? I was told to go to another discipline. I think my case is above his skill set. BTW, In 7 calls to his office I got 7 different answers.

I would highly recommend this surgeon. He is very good with elderly patients and very patient. He does a great job explaining everything. Makes his patients feel very respected and listens to everything they say.
