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.

Saved my husband's life. Will always be a hero to us. Excellent diagnostic skills.

I’ve been seeing Dr Sermersheim for over 10 years. He was the first neurologist to actually help me get migraine relief! He writes letters of medical necessity to get insurance to cover medications for you. Phone calls for medication refills are filled quickly. He is a very caring man that truly cares about his patients. I have recommended him to many people that I’ve met that have not gotten migraine relief from their current Dr.

Arrogant, dismissive, no interest in diagnosing, just wanted to slap a diagnosis and medicate.....which his Medical Assistant actually disagreed with him about and was actually more accurate than him.

After visiting multiple neurologists, Dr. Sermershiem was the only one to listen to me, explain the medications options, and without hesitation provide a recommendation that wouldn't interfere with my lifestyle as an athlete. Within minutes he told me why my other prescribed medications weren't working. His clear knowledge and ability to explain his decisions without me asking put me at ease immediately. I will always be thankful he was recommended to me.
