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.

Friendly, knowledgeable, honest.

Dr. Scher is knowledgeable, kind and sensitive to the feelings of his patients. As an experienced physician, I know a fine doctor when I see one. Excellent staff. We were very grateful for the care provided by Dr. Scher. I came in with a list of questions - all were answered, and in a thoughtful, caring manner. He is a role model for young doctors to learn from.

Very smart top expert in the field very active in knowledgeable about the latest trials. I feel safe putting my trust in him and this saves me having to keep up with the latest treatments. Instead I get on with enjoying life! He always explains the options when it is time for a treatment decision and then makes his recommendation - which I invariably follow. I am fortunate to have him looking after me.
