I am very dissapointed at Dr Sherman and I agree with the comlaints written against her, I hated her from day one through her comments, very insensitive, first time I went to her her attitude was what can I do for you and three minutes later conversation was over with her and she sent me to suck my blood to do lab work. I don't like her, anytime I had appointment with her I thought I was visiting a military dictator. I wouldn't recommend her to anybody, If you do go to see her, you will probably die, she dosn't listen to you. I am looking for another Doctor at this time.

Dr. Sherman is extremely knowledgeable. Honestly, I owe her my life. I had been to numerous doctors that pretty much wrote me off as crazy. By chance I ended up seeing Dr. Sherman and was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She was able to catch what 13 other doctors those previous six months were not able to catch. She is a little abrassive and doesn't sugar coat things. Personally, I'm okay with that. She did tell me I was fat and needed to do something about it....and I appreciate that. I don't think doctors say that enough and perhaps they should.

One of the first things all doctors learn, even in school, is that stress causes illness.
Why; according to any and all posts referring to Dr. Susan Sherman is she reported as disregarding patients input, even inferring stupidity and/or purposeful mis-representaion (accusing them of lying). Too, there is much testimony that she does everything imaginable (likely purposefully) to magnify stress in so many (if not all) of her patients.

Dr. Susan Sherman seems to have something worked out with an asocciate with the same last name, whom she refers you to for expensive tests that are clearly uncalled for. She mis-diagnosis and/or purposefully lies to her patients. She told me that water upsets the stomach and to stop drinking water after I told her that water was helping alleviate my upset stomach. I saw a man being continually tested for blood sugar levels (every 10 minutes) while I waited in waiting room. She had over-prescribed the poor fellows insulin and office staff was doing everything she could to get the mans' sugar to stop plummetting. While that was still going on (the fellow she had over-prescribed insulin to; kept getting more glucose-scans and sugar pills), Susan also berated me for performing glucose-scans on myself on an hourly basis when I had been managing an insulin reaction of my own at home. Yelling that no-one should EVER test that frequently. Told me too; that my acid reflux was a heart attack.

I consulted with her on help for blood sugars despite finger pricking 7 times a day and religiously taking my insulin as scheduled. Despite all this I couldn't get control. She looked at my reports and said, "What is your two-year-old going to do when you keel over and die? It's your fault your levels are like this. Come back in a month when you're willing to try harder." She is enough to make one suicidal. I never went back to her.

I been seing Dr.Susan for a few years, I go once a year to check my thyroid. When I lost my insurance she was very helfull only giving me the necessary tests that I needed so that I would continue going to get checked every year, without being to expensive for me.

Dr. Sherman would have just been quick to let me leave but I kept stopping her and asking questions so I got a bit more time but if I did not ask questions she would have been too quick. I am going to keep her until I need something big then I will get a second opinion doctor.

In a profession filled with people who tend to be very busy and perhaps come off as a bit short,I have met no other health professional who is ruder than Dr Susan Sherman. She has a terrible bedside manner especially with regard to overweight individuals. She seemed to be as shallow and judgemental about it as your average high school cheerleader. She would barely speak to me let alone greet with a smile. It was not until I entered her office after having lost 20 lbs that she seemed to have any warmth whatsoever. One has to question why such a person would ever enter a specialty that by nature is filled with patients for whom she seems to have so much contempt. Further,she was dismissive when I asked to explain exactly what was going on in my body. She offered little explainiation that someone who is not an MD could understand. I switched to a doc who questioned Dr Shermans's course of treatment and am now doing much better. I would not recommend her to anyone.

I went to see dr sherman only once on feb 15th. I have had borderline hyperthyroid for 2yrs now and she wouldn't help me. I also suffer from panic/agoraphobia. I refuse to take prescriptions meds for that disorder and so the only sedative i use is alcohol when i have to leave my home (which is rarely, doctor app. only). I was honest and told her that. I told her my symptoms and that my body is very sensitive to the effects of hyperthyriod because i've only suffered panic/agoraphobia since i was diagnosed with it. She accused me of being an alcoholic and then told me that the hyperthyroid could not be the cause of my physical symptoms. That is totally incorrect. I have yet to find an endocrinologist near me that will help me. She was extremely rude. The office staff was also rude and completely unprofessional. I was floored by the sight. Not to mention the uncleanliness of her office environment. Very sloppy and disorganized. I would never go back to her again. I don't recommend her.

Although her care of my gestational diabetes was adequate, she is very un-personable. When I returned following pregnancy, I found her to be VERY un-informed about diabetes oral medications and infertility. She diagnosed me with Type 2 diabetes based on 1 HbA1C test, which is against every standard practice I was able to investigate. I quickly changed doctors, but would never recommend her to anyone, unless it was a very simple, straightforward case.

I'be been to Susan Sherman twice since July. She is "very" insensitive to obesity. She thinks her miracle South Beach diet is the cure all.Both times, she was an hour late without apology & my 2nd appt was at 8:30 a.m.(so why was she running an hour late that early in the morning). Since I didn't lose a bunch of weight on my 2nd appt she mad and wouldn't speak with me except to say that it's my body & she'll see me in 6 months. I don't think so. I will never return to this dr. again. Also, her attitude definately rubs off on her office staff & nurses. Don't expect a "hello" or anything because you're not going to get it.

Susan Sherman was very unhelpful. An hour behind schedule, she finally saw me. When she asked me questions and I gave her the answers, she actually told me that I was wrong! It is my body, I would know. She might know what she is talking about, but what is the point when she thinks you a lying?

I am disappointed with Dr. Sherman as well. She never seemed to have the time to hear about my issues - terrible bedside manner and really rushed me out of there. She seems knowlegeable but really does not suggest anything other than the meds she prescribes as treatment options. I never felt that I could discuss other health concerns besides my hypothyroid - she never really explained what it is and what I can expect with treatment.

I was very unhappy with her. I found her to only be with me for a few minutes. Order all these test, it took me months to pay off. I go only a letter saying I was ok, no details.

Dr Sherman was very unfriendly and unhelpful to me. She did not seem to want to listen to me, and did not explain my disease or what the tests results meant. She did not send me the first test results, and did not fully complete the report for the second test result. She did not seem to know that muscle pain was one of the symptoms of my disease, and didn't try to alleviate the pain. I would not recommend her to anyone for treatment for hypothyroid disease.

Dr Susan Sherman is a very good and knowlwdgeable doctor but she does not have a very good attitude toward patients thoughts about their own care and she does seem to jump into expensive treatments quickly without a great deal(or none at all) of input from her patients concerns and their financial constaints. Also, she doesn't give very detailed explaination/information to patient about her finding about their own condition.

Susan Sherman is a real disappointment. She does not listen to patient's concerns and wants to move forward with radical treatment before completing all tests. I would never go to this doctor again.
