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.

Excellent experience! Dr. Sherman is very Patient, knowledgeable, kind, never rushed, and bedside manner impeccable.

I am a male in my 60's and Dr. Sherman has been my dermatologist for many years. He is invariably friendly, efficient, and helpful. He is highly skilled and knowledgeable, but more than that he has an artist's touch. He always explains thoroughly what he is doing and why. There is a negative review below from Wayne S. that I found astonishing: it doesn't describe the Dr. Sherman I know at all.

Dr. Sherman has been my dermatologist for at least 15 years. I have had four basal cell carcinoma cancers on my skin he has removed at different times without noticeable scars, as well as dermafillers to improve some acne scarring. I have been very well pleased with his work. Not only is he technically skilled but also aesthetically educated to produce optimal results. A.

I found Dr. Sherman via a highly recommended referral. He knows his stuff! Not only does he have time, but if you call, he will call you back promptly. I have never felt rushed, and he always has the time to answer my laundry list of questions. I have been to numerous dermatologist and he is up there in the top notch. I have had several procedures performed by him with great healing and very little scaring. I highly recommend.

Worst experience ever with a doctor! I advised him what I was there for, showed him, & he NEVER EVEN SAT DOWN. He was in there with me all of about two minutes -- seriously! I'm laid back & not real talkative, but I did try to ask a couple of q's to learn what was causing my problem. He cut me off, said goodbye, & made his way out of the room. This 'clinic' might be good for helping you with your overall beauty regiment, but for credible medical care, I'd recommend that you look elsewhere.
