“I had a video call. I struggled with the video app to work on my laptop for the first 1/2 of the call. I was able to see her but my camera was not connecting, which was strange because i use zoom everyday on my business. The doctor sent me a text with a link to access the video call on my phone, and was able to show up on the video call.”

I would not go back to this provider. She was overly focused on one thing in my history and did not listen when I repeatedly said I did not want to do something and I had already discussed it with a different provider.

Dr. Sherling doesn’t care. I am part of an American demographic that has been historically ignored and dismissed by many in the medical field, even when our lives and quality of life are at risk. You would think I would be used to the type of treatment I received from Dr. Sherling, but I was really hoping she would be a thoughtful, empathetic and proficient doctor that would treat my situation with some urgency like she would if I was someone important to her. She only sees patients in person one day a week and if I had known that when I first selected her to be my primary I would have made a different choice. She doesn’t care.

No bedside manner. Felt like an interrogation talking to her. Asking me about things that had nothing to do with why I made the appointment and then accusing me of lying when in fact she just wasn’t listening.
