He was then 30+ minutes late to our appointment. I was a little irritated. Then we began talking about my situation and I soon realized he was late because when he is in the room with you, you are his only patient. He totally focuses on you and your issues. He takes all the time the patient needs to gain the knowledge desired and to become comfortable with his recommendations. To have waited a bit for what Dr Sherman provided during our interview was well worth it. To complain about the wait given Dr Shermans clear focus on the patient would be at least immature.9/12/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientDr. Sherman was thorough in explaining the different options that had been presented. He ordered all the scans which I had yesterday and now I wait to hear what I think my choice should be9/5/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientExtremely professional8/29/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientOver the top wonderful experience. I am confident Dr.Sherman will take good care of me when a bypass becomes necessary. I received everything I wanted from this appointment.
