The staff was nice and accommodating. The Dr. was nice and caring. Took his time and listened well and i felt he accessed my situation correctly. He gave recommendation for stress test and explained why based on my EKG...they scheduled my test same day! Happy not to take another day off work.

I was very impressed with both Dr. Sher and his staff. They were very professional and had a terrific bedside manner. Dr. Sher took time to listen to and address my concerns. It was not rushed at all in any way. I really appreciate this office and I am glad I found them here on zocdoc.

He is very thorough and gentle. He listens to and addresses all concerns. I would highly recommend him to all friends and family. Not rushed like other doctors. He actually gives you time to discuss all medical concerns and questions.

Dr. Sher is a very caring and compassionate doctor. I met him when he treated my mother on a emergency basis at Beth Israel Hospital in Brooklyn. I decided to change doctors and chose him. He is easy to talk to and has answers. I highly recommend him.

He was great.
May 5, 2014Teresa B.Verified patient
During my recent visit with Dr. Sher, he was his usual self--approachable, well-mannered, respectful, and compassionate. I've been one of Dr. Sher's satisfied patients for more than ten (10) years. He's always taken time to listen and communicate honestly with me. To summarize: Before there was a doctor like Dr. Oz; there was and still is -- The One and Only DR. SHER.
February 22, 2014Gertrude N.Verified patient
The doctor and his staff were kind, professional, and welcoming. I didn't feel awkward or self concious like I tend to get when seeing new doctor. My testing went by quick and my consultation with the doctor was very insightful. Would definitely recommend this office.
November 14, 2013Initials hidden
Dr.Sher was very gentle and thorough but his staff is horrible. I called in regards to a simple inquire about the address and the receptionist was frustrated because she was unaware that zocdoc made an appointment. The tech did not take adequate weight and if Dr. She wasn't so attentive the review would be worst. Poor telephone etiquette and dire need of modernization.....will not return for a follow up.
