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.

Incredibly skilled and knowledgeable surgeon
Dr. Sherman performed two surgeries for me- an otoplasty and then a corrective septoplasty + rhinoplasty one year later. Dr. Sherman is incredibly experienced, knowledgeable, transparent, and professional. My results were sheer perfection and quite a feat given that they were not simple procedures. He teaches at Weill Cornell and has a clientele who see him for facial and other trauma repairs as well as cosmetic services. His office is impeccably run by his staff and wonderful nurses. Surgeries can be performed within his office in Manhattan which is most convenient and highly preferred to a hospital or other surgery center.

Dr. Sherman saved my life, after a doctor abandoned me after having liposuction, and went into sepsis with an abdominal abscess. His team from office staff, and residents took great care of me and followed up regularly. He was very accomodating and easy to reach. He gave me his cell phone #. Thank God for Dr. Sherman. I recommend him to all of my friends

I recently had upper and lower Blepharoplasty with Dr. John Sherman and I am very pleased with my results. Dr. Sherman listened to my concerns, and was very honest and realistic about what I could expect. His skill and experience is second to none and his calm and friendly demeanor was much appreciated! He is conservative in his approach which was very important to me. I highly recommend Dr. Sherman! Thank you Dr. Sherman!

Dr Sherman performed otoplasty on my 18 year old daughter 11/20 and we cannot be happier. The entire experience from the consultations, planning and financing with Jenny, the surgery and the follow up has been stellar. My daughter was self conscious about her ears sticking out and she was finally ready to get the surgery. Dr. Sherman and staff made her feel safe and taken care of throughout the entire process. She had the surgery on Dr. Sherman's birthday and he still called us that night to check up on her. We are thrilled with the outcome and the experience.

I cannot possibly put into words how positive my experience has been with Dr. Sherman and his staff from start to finish. It was clear from my first meeting with him just how much of an expert and professional he was - I felt completely comfortable and relaxed from start to finish while he assessed my nose, and brought up a number of structural things I had never been aware of previously (and that no other doctor had mentioned). The surgery itself went beautifully, and I could notice how much of an improvement was made all around even on Day 1. I am so excited by how everything is healing and looking and couldn't be more thrilled with my nose both aesthetically and structurally - it truly is a work of art. Dr. Sherman is truly the best surgeon I could've asked for and am SO grateful for him and his incredibly kind staff for getting me through the entire process seamlessly.

Dr. Sherman is the definition of the industry's most noted consummate professional. With over 35 years of experience, I felt incredibly comfortable with him handling my highly complex rhinoplasty and septoplasty. From the moment I entered his beautifully appointed office, steps away from New York's iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art off Fifth Avenue, his staff made me feel like my comfort was their upmost priority. Dr. Sherman was wildly communicative - taking my calls at 6:00AM and even making a special trip to the office on a weekend when I had questions. From their state of the art, accredited surgical ensuite to Dr. Sherman's personalized after-care I would refuse to see any other plastic surgeon in the city. His impressive resume and long list of celebrity clientele is no simple coincidence - it's backed by his decades of experience and impeccable dedication to detail.

I was treated by Dr Sherman in the ER for a facial laceration and had a follow up at his office. He was very professional and the office experience was exceptional. Dr Sherman’s staff was pleasant and his office was immaculate. The work performed on my wound was incredible. Dr Sherman’s experience shows as my injury, which was a jagged cut and required 13 stitches, is barely noticeable, now. I am forever grateful to him and would highly recommend him.

Caring doctor who took the time on a Sunday evening to come to the emergency room and check my cheek and eye injuries. Very impressive. Surgery the next day went well. Follow up care has been excellent. Colleagues have been very impressed with his work.

When I broke my nose on a weekend, Dr. Sherman fit me in to see him the next day. I started a new job in 2 weeks and wanted to have surgery as soon as possible. He fit me in the next day. His whole team was wonderful and I felt in great hands. His facilities in his office are superb. When he took my cast off a week later, I could not have been happier with the result. He spent a lot of time speaking with me before and after surgery and at each subsequent appointment. I am one week post-op and its hard to tell I even had an operation. Would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Sherman informed me of my choices and options for removing my textured reconstructive implants promptly and thoroughly. With his guidance and expertise, I made the choice that was right for me in addition to a obtaining a wonderful cosmetic result. His staff is attentive and professional as well.

Dr. Sherman did an amazing job on several deep lacerations to my forehead after a terrible escalator accident. His professional and skilled manner is truly calming after such an incident . It has only been a couple of months and the wounds are healing remarkably well and pleased with the outcome.

The initial stitching (done elsewhere) on our son's arm didn't heal properly. Dr. S was excellent in explaining our options; we went with debriding followed by a skin graft. Throughout, Dr. S and his staff were excellent -- pleasant, knowledgeable, professional & comforting. They followed up on our son's progress and went above and beyond to accommodate us (including Dr. S's willingness to adjust his schedule to do needed surgery). We couldn't be happier with the office and Dr. S's work.

Dr. John Sherman is a fabulous job stitching up a laceration on my daughter's face. He was so nice. He met us at the emergency room, arranging it so we wouldn't have to wait at all, and did a beautiful job - quick and neat. You can barely see it.

I was weary about having to pay for the consultation but it was all worth it. Dr Sherman was my second surgeon for my ears. The first surgeon did absolutely nothing for me and I waited a long time to fix, but I’m so incredibly thrilled with the results. I’ve wanted this done my whole life and i can’t believe it’s finally done. I can wear my hair any way I want now! I don’t have to worry about minimizing my ears somehow. Worth every penny
