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.

Changed my life for the better
I don’t understand the negative reviews I am reading. It’s as if they are reviewing someone I have never met. I have been under Dr. Scheer’s care for several years and he is caring, thoughtful and very talented. He has made more improvements in the quality of my life than any doctor in my life experience.

his unprofessional uncaring cold manner. He seemed as if he wanted to support the abuser and no sympathy for the victim. So as he was explaining stuff I zoned out he didn't even look at my swollen shoulder, and blood red and hurts. Then when I asked are you going to look at it. I even asked what a torn rotator cuff cause this much pain his response was maybe .He told me well pull your shirt down to show a tiny piece of my shoulder. He said oh yeah I see that you have a mark there that was a mark from last time. No doctor, it was no mark from last time because you never touched the left side of my body. You operated on my right elbow only. Those bruises and swollen marks are brand new. But if he would have taken the time to ask me and really thoroughly examined me, he would have had those answers to those questions. At that point I was done. Then he did the most typical male thing ever. Well, are you talking to your PCP for your emotional issues . I looked at him I said what. He said is she taking care of your mental health with this issue. I said I am upset because I was attacked for God's sake by someone that I've known since 1990. I wanted to say how dare you question and to make it seem like I'm crazy. I will never go to his office again ever and I will never recommend anyone going to his office ever again. I'm already through with men as it is and their treatment and their aggressiveness and everything else about them and negative nature. And this doctor sealed the deal that I would never want to have another male doctor again in my life. At least a female doctors that I had to share the story with to get treated was compassionate caring empathetic listen didn't you shove my body parts in my arms up in the air and then yell at me do I need to get myself together. Terrible service I left did not check out and I don't care I'm going to find another doctor someone who will treat me.

Dr. Scheer is one of the best doctors I ever met. He listens and provides clear explanation of the diagnosis, and all the treatment options. He pays attention and treats people like human beings.

Patient
I would never recommend Dr. Scheer to anyone. He's arrogant and doesn't show any regard for his patients. He did not listen to my concerns and did not care about my well being. His proposed treatment plan could very likely make my condition worse. When I asked him about it he said that it probably wouldn't make it worse. I have zero confidence in his ability. If I'm going to get belittled by my doctor, he should at least display some level of competence.

I have been a patient of Dr. Scheer for over a decade and was previously seeing one of his colleagues for another ortho issue. Glad to have found someone who really wanted to improve my health status and mobility. Very nurturing and compassionate about his patients and great bedside manner. always punctual for my appointment and brings a great smile.

I would never recommend Dr. Scheer to a fellow athlete, his "solution" is to simply stop exercising. I would STRONGLY encourage anyone to look elsewhere if you are in search of a compassionate and knowledgable physician who really cares about you and your pain

I would never recommend this facility to others. The receptionists are rude, the radiologists are careless and irresponsible, and the prescriptions I received were incorrect. Dr. Scheer seems fine but the poor quality of support around him makes a visit unpleasant and risky.

I've been seeing Dr. Scheer for over a year I believe and he's been wonderful in terms of giving me medical advice and with managing my knee pain. He takes his time in the examination room and the procedures are painless and offer tremendous relief when it's done.
