I would highly recommend Dr. Sherman. All of the office staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. Will absolutely return
Very professional staff from the minute I walked in the door. Barely sat down in the Waiting room before I was called for the examination. Everyone I met explained everything very thoroughly and In way a layman would understand. Highly recommended!

Needed to see an Eye Doctor for an EM appointment after the ER room suggested following up. Quick and easy to make an appointment and the staff was great!
Verified patient
This doctor is very cold, very rude. He acts like god’s gift and doesn’t even want to answer questions without an attitude that makes you feel like you’re stupid. He needs to get a better bedside manner if he wants to have to reviews on Zocdoc.

This doctor doesnt accept vision insurance which is why i booked the appoitnment, because they supposedly took my vision insurance. Also i specifically booked for a contact lens fitting which they are making me come back a second time for. Never had to do this before.
The staff at the front desk was very nice and professional The technician Mia was terrific as usual. Dr. Sherman is always professional and and my experience has always be positive.
