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.
