Recent reviews

Dr. Shershow best in NYC. Outstanding care. Has seen it all. Will have ideas for treatment, and work with you on a plan. Flexible. All about long-term health. Communicates well. Moving away after seeing him consistently for a couple years. Thank you Dr. Shershow.
The process of changing physiatrists is understandably stressful and with a recent change of insurance I had to do this. Dr. Shershow made this a very easy shift, he was helpful and efficient, and I'm looking forward to continuing to work together.

Great guy -- Easy to talk to; helpful in identifying and walking you through your issues or concerns and finding a solution.
Dr. Shershow is no-nonsense and he has great instincts for knowing just what the patient needs. I am very glad I found him!
Dr. Shershow was very helpful -- an experienced and knowledgeable physician. He was very quick and accurate in his analysis.
Dr.Shershow is an excellent Doctor, friendly, amicable, and professional-he answered all my questions and was very helpful.
He basically said he couldn't help me and did not know anyone to refer me too. I was shocked. Feel like I just got held up.
Very nice experience. Doctor worked with me and my needs to figure out how to proceed with my medication. Highly recommend!
This was my first visit and it was wonderfully pleasant and soothing. I like Dr. Shershow very much and will be returning.
I didn't find Dr. Shershow particularly warm and felt a bit snubbed as if he was too busy to really figure my issues out.

I love Dr. Shershow and am very comfortable with him. He's a very quick in and out type of guy, which is what I need.
Very kind and thoughtful doctor. He understands that prescribing the right meds is also an art and not only a science.
Doesn't seem interested in your well being. Only interested in himself. By far the worst doctor I've ever seen. EVER.
This is a good doctor. He listens to you and has good knowledge of different tx regimens. No BS and straight forward.
Always straight-forward and to the point. In and out of the office quickly and great at prescribing what is needed.

Save yourself the time and find another doctor. It's time to retire for this doctor. Worst psychiatrist ever!!!!!
Dr. Shershow is quick, efficient and has never made me feel uncomfortable. He has given me great advice thus far.
Do not expect an appointment to last more than 5 minutes. This is extremely concerning, I will not be going back.

I'm having billing issues for a consultation, and the receptionist hung up on me when trying to resolve them.
Awful. His staff is pathetic - they treat you like a number. I could not believe the unprofessional nature
Dr Shershow was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. The office staff was great as well.
