Dr. Paul Scherer, MD

Front office was very efficient, then met Dr Scherer. He was my 4th dr I had consulted with. I knew he was the one. Very clear about procedure and he didn’t disappoint. I’m one year post op and no problems. After a follow up, he called on a Saturday to make a suggestion; that let me know he heard my issue and processed it, didn’t just dismiss it. It had to do with a prior spine surgery that could possibly affect my ability to walk long distances. I walk pain free (knee) but fused spine is a bit more challenging. I can’t say enough about how caring Dr Scherer and his staff are, my quality of life is 100% better. Consider me a grateful patient.

The receptionist just sighing while checking me in should have been my first clue. Dr offered a cortisone shot, to just come in any time but then when call to come in, told nope! the doctor doesn't know... really? Ok, taking my business elsewhere.

he put my leg back together from a bad accident in 96, if it wasnt for him and God I would not be walking. Thank you Dr. Scherer!! from Tina Beahringer

I was unable to get an appointment with the illustrious Dr. Scherer because I could not provide medical records from 8 years ago from a Doctor that is no longer in practice at the location where I saw him and I have no idea where he is now. I did not have surgery previously just an MRI and told I had a bone spur. However, the doc won't see me without those office notes which may or may not be in existence somewhere and I have no way to obtain them. Ridiculous!

Dr. Scherer performed shoulder rotator cuff surgery 9/01/15 on me at Oliver Anderson Hospital in Maryville, IL. He did an excellent job. The shoulder is 100% now. It took 30 PT visits after surgery and at home self administered PT for about 1 year, but its ok now. I has some setbacks, but that was because I did not follow Dr. Scherer's orders after the surgery regarding at home exercise of the shoulder. Shame on me!

Plan on waiting a ridiculous amount of time and seeing his practitioner after the surgery instead of the dr himself.

Dr. Scherer is an excellent surgeon and a caring doctor. He has replaced both of my hips, and I have had very good results. He is attentive to his patients needs, insuring good care prior to and after my surgeries. He has a very endearing disposition which helps put his patients at ease. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent orthopedis.
