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.

2nd choice. Best choice.
Haven’t seen Dr. Sherman for very long but he’s steered me in the right direction with respect to my eyes. Practical, pragmatic , and conservative. Saved me from going through a procedure I didn’t need on my eyes quite yet. Thank you.

Dr. Sherman took the time to review my medical condition and records sent by my referring physician. He was thorough and direct, explaining his reasoning and conclusions. He was open to me asking questions. I would highly recommend him to others in need of his expertise.

Very helpful in explaining .
My situation is difficult to diagnose. He gave me several things to think about. Very easy to understand and talk with. My eyes are extremely wet, drainage poor. Can’t see the eye chart to read with left eye. He is having me see Dr. Hellman for further study. The assistant was very helpful and knowledgeable. The office staff was also friendly, and helpful.
