Robert Sherman's Online Review Report Card

One of the best doctors I’ve ever dealt with did a total hip replacement for me. Has a great sense of humor I felt very comfortable with him surgery was phenomenal. I can walk again.

Went to see Dr. Sherman for a second opinion regarding problems with my leg and hip after having two hip surgeries required after a bad accident I was in. He wasn’t interested in hearing about my pain, pretty much dismissed me after saying my problem was related to my back, not my hip. Told me to see a back dr and left the room. He made me feel like a piece of dirt that was wasting his time.

Dr. Sherman came highly recommended for a hip replacement surgery. I called to make an appointment for a surgical consult. He refused to see me until he could review my records. I was given the wrong fax number by someone at the office. I called to see if they received my records and was told, "we get hundreds of records per day, it takes a while to sort through them, Dr. Sherman is incredibly busy". I ask if I get some confirmation that my records were received and was told that I have to call back to find out on my own. I finally get the correct fax number and send the records but was unable to confirm that they were received. I was told to call back an hour after sending them- which I did, but was unable to even leave a voicemail message. I checked in another time and was told that Dr. Sherman reviewed my notes and determined that he "had nothing to offer me" and that I could check with another sports orthopedic in their practice. Several attempts were made to reach someone to find out what this meant. I spoke to someone today who said that she no longer had my referral and was unable to find out what "nothing to offer" means. Once the Dr. denies a request, everything gets thrown away. In order to find out what this means, I would have to submit another referral but "there is no guarantee that the result would be different". I am young and wondering if I really do need a hip replacement. If so then I want to go with someone who was referred to me- not someone new to the practice. I am very disappointed with my experience with this office. I would think that anyone would want to know why a doctor felt he/she had nothing to offer a patient- do I not need surgery in his opinion, should I be pursuing a different type of surgery, am I too young for this surgery, etc.? How can you simply deny it and then not have any followup for the patient?

Had total knee replacement October 2017. Recovery and rehabilitation finished in 4 weeks. 2 years now no problems.

Excellent doctor! He did both hips. Awesome results!

I have been going to Dr Sherman about 2 years now, had one hip replacement, and will most likely need another one, I wouldn’t go to anyone else! He’s caring, takes his time, and answers all questions ! He is the best !!

Dr. Sherman did a Hip Revision on me in 2016 and continues to monitor that and the Hip Revision done by another doctor. He can always be trusted to tell you which treatments and tests are necessary and which are not.

guy is great on knees and hips !
