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 oncologist/hematologist
"I’ve been to many doctors to try and figure out the problem I was having. Nobody could figure it out which was so frustrating until I went to Dr Michael P Sherman. I was referred to him by the last doctor who wasn’t able to help me. I was treated so well by the staff and Dr Sherman. He was always the one who came in the room to see me and did not rush through the visit. When I was being infused, he would check on me to make sure I was comfortable and that I was ok. Dr Sherman would listen to me and truly showed that he cares very much for his patients. He showed confidence that he could help me. He helped me understand the problem and how he would fix me. And he did exactly what he said he would do and it worked. I’m so thankful for Dr Sherman and his staff. Truly a remarkable outstanding oncologist/hematologist. "

He is one of the very best Doctors I have ever met. He has been caring for me for about 5 years after I had some signs of cancer. He has carefully monitored my health every six months with appropropriate tests, lab work and office visits. I would give him ten stars if your scale went that high. I always get the feeling that he really cares about ME!
