From my first visit with Dr, Sherman I have been convinced that he is very thorough in asking pertinent questions and in being sure my replies are as succinct as I can make them (given that I don't really know how to interpret the feelings I have in my chest and heart MYSELF when I feel something unusual is going on. Then he also takes the stethoscope aand check my heat function in several areas of my chest and back, listening very carefully. Lastly, he enters his findings into the computer aloud, so that I have an opportunity to affiirm that It Is correct.

Our appointment was just to get the results of a recent heart echo, but Dr. Sherman did a thorough and complete examination of my husband. We greatly appreciated his doing this since my husband has recently experienced shortness of breath at night while lying down.

Dr. Sherman is an exceptional physician and caring human being. I am deeply grateful for his thorough examination of my issues with high blood pressure and his thoughtful, wise suggestions for treatment. There is no question that he has vast experience as a cardiologist and yet he is always open minded to my thoughts as well. I came to Dr Sherman at the recommendation of another patient who feels the same way about him.
