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.

I have seen Dr Scher several times regarding my double-vision. I liked him immediately. He is very friendly, cordial & answered all my questions each visit. I am preparing for “alignment surgery” now. I am happy & excitedly looking forward to the relief from prisms in my glasses.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Scher?
We were sent to Dr. Scher by our daughters pediatrician and drove an hour from our home to see him, and it was a terrible experience. My husband and I are both medical professionals, and unfortunately Dr. Scher a type of physician that we encounter occasionally in our line of work. He was arrogant, rude, talked to us like we were stupid and acted like we were wasting his time. He may be an expert in his field, but that does not mean that he does not need to treat his patients with respect.
