Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My kids have been seeing Dr. Sherman for 6 years. He and his staff are incredible. We even moved 30 minutes west and still make the drive because they are worth it. I will say that if you come later in the day there can be a wait but that is only because they take the time to treat everyone and don't rush them out. I would prefer a wait any day over rushing through a procedure in order to keep on time - especially with children. I make my appointments earlier to avoid the large crowd.

We brought our 5-day-old to Dr. Sherman to get a frenectomy as he was having trouble breastfeeding. The staff were all super nice - from the ladies at the front to the woman who assisted with the procedure to Dr. Sherman himself. After a thorough explanation of how things would go, Dr. Sherman only took a few minutes to perform the actual procedure - on both the upper lip & tongue. And he did it so well and so fast, our son didn't even cry! Easily the best healthcare experience we've ever had!

Dr. Sherman and his staff are incredible. We have a great experience every visit. They interact with my daughters making them have a fun and pleasant visit. The ambiance for the kids is incredible, offices are clean and up to date. As a busy parent, I love the reminder emails and texts. Dr. Sherman was my pediatric dentist 32 years ago and I couldn't be happier to have him take care of my girls!!

Absolutely first class pediatric dental care. They're patient, understanding, and you can tell they actually care about their patients. The waiting room has a bunch of games to keep kids occupied until their appointment and a really neat fish tank as well, its also impeccably clean. Dr. Sherman himself, is without a doubt the best pediatric dentist in this area, and I would recommend him to anyone seeking first class dental care for their children.

Excellent and friendly staff. Dr Sherman gave us as much time as we needed to discuss how to go about a necessary procedure. Our routine visits are always a pleasure, and my kids look forward to their appointments!

The office is new, beautiful and kid friendly. But dont let that fool you! Dr. Sherman is down right rude to parents, and MEAN and impatient with the children. I dont know why an adult would even consider using him. How he became a pediatric dentist is beyond me!
