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.

Best Physician in South Florida
Dr. Scherer is everything you want in a doctor. She is personable, caring, and most of all highly proficient in all aspects of medicine. In many cases she knows more than a specialist and able to identify the true cause of a problem. Whether you need a primary care physician or a proctologist (or both!), Dr. Scherer is a first-rate choice. Medical Assistant Heather is a great complement.

I would strongly recommend finding a different Doctor. I took my 89 year old mother to see her and after 1 hour and 45 minutes waiting to see her we ended up leaving. No apology no return of Co-Pay. This Doctor fills up her waiting room and exam rooms with patients and makes you wait. Extremely unprofessional. When you get there don't let her wall of awards fool you, you will get no treatment, no respect and a DO NOT CARE ATTITUDE.

Awesome Doctor and Staff
Dr. Scherer and her Staff are Awesome. I was having rectal pain, they gave me an immediate appointment. Upon examination, it was determined that I had 2 hemorrhoids. Dr. Scherer banded/lassoed them and I was out of the office within 15 minutes. I highly recommend Dr. Scherer she is amazing, professional and has a great sense of humor.

The reviews of Dr Scherer included short wait time. That has not been my experience on multiple visits, spending an hour in the waiting room and another hour in the examining room waiting to see her. Records are written by hand, so they miss stuff, and there is no easy access to records for the patient. During Covid, when she was less busy, appointment times were better, but again, we are back to long waits. It also seems like she focuses on her beauty patients who get in and out quickly and who buy supplies from her.

I am extremely grateful for Dr. Scherer's professional diagnosis and compassionate treatment of my very painful and stubborn hemorrhoids. Her "Office Hemorrhoidectomy" memorandum informing on physiology and advising on treatment greatly facilitated my understanding and care options.

10/08/20 My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Scherer for 20 plus years. She is very compassionate and personable. We get regular checkups, Including bloodwork, and follow-ups to thoroughly discuss all results. By spacing her appointments, she leaves plenty of time for interaction with her patients, which is important. She keeps up with all the newest medical techniques, and prescribes the best medications, to preserve our quality healthcare. In addition, her office staff is very courteous, when scheduling appointments, working with insurers, and keeping files in order. Dr. Scherer has two terrific PA’s, Heather and Mike, who have been with her for years. We know them very well and they do an excellent job, on many fronts. When they draw blood, they do it effortlessly and painlessly for us. Whenever we have any medical issues, we know Dr. Scherer, and her super team, will all be there to take care of us. They are a credit to the medical profession. If you

I can say from a very long relationship that Dr Scherer is the most caring and dedicated physicians I have ever met. She and her staff, and PA Heather go far out of her way to assist her patients. I am confident that she is the most capable and knowledgeable doctors that are available anywhere. Robert Scharf, J. D., CAP. Court Certified Arbitration Judge.

I have been a patient of Dr. Scherer's for about 20 years. She is an excellent Internist. She is kind and compassionate. Several years ago, I was suffering from a neuropathy in my left foot. It was difficult to walk without pain. Dr. Scherer was the one physician who noticed that I was taking Prilosec and that it can cause depletion of magnesium. She was spot on-magnesium was very low. Started magnesium and the pain resolved. Excellent diagnostician!! Great office staff!

Dr. Scherer has been my primary care physician for approx 20 years. She has always been professional, thorough, explains conditions and options, tests, treatments, listens to my concerns and always answers any questions. She has a busy practice so I always go in with anything I want to cover written down - helps both of us I think.

I have been with dr scherer for over 20 years and find her to be of the most professional intellectual knowledge of medicine along with the most caring and trustworthy attitude. She is far and away one of the most talented and compassionate physicians in this area or any other attitude. I count myself lucky to have found her so long ago and consider our relationship an absolute blessing. She has been nothing but kind to myself in all areas over the many years I have been her patient. Robert S.
