Dr. Scherr operated on my for prostate cancer in 2003. His is a brilliant doctor and empathic person who treats patients like they were members of his own family. His skill is only matched by his compassion. Since then, I have been treated at NYP for other urologic conditions and 2 additional cancers, The facility and staff are the best in the world. I now live in Florida and continue to get all of my care at NYP.

Poor bedside manner. Didn't show up after surgery. Surgery was painful.

I don't recognize the doctor who saved my life in the 2 2016 reviews below. Nor his staff, who have been wonderful since I first met them in 2010. Regarding punctuality, I don't mind waiting while he saves someone else's life. Next month will be 6 years since my prostate surgery, with PSA still at .01. He is the best.

Absolutely horrific office staff (they don't return calls, they get angry if you call them when they don't respond) and painful (psychological) bedside manner of Dr Scherr. Impossible to reach Dr Scherr when you need him. Find another physician and you will be much happier.

Dr. Scherr might be the best of the best but when it comes to patient interactions he was very cold an rude. His assistant Ana Kowerska, hands down one of the rudest and racist woman I've ever encountered. Made me feel as if she was disgusted to work with me because I was a Hispanic woman. Would I ever recommend these two as your doctor? Never! Please take the time to look for another doctor.

The worst part is when I went to Cornell the expectation was I would be dealing with the best. And unfortunately with this experience it was the worst.

I highly recommend Dr Scherr! I was diagnosed with localized prostate cancer in 2009, at the age of 42. Thanks to his skilled hands I'm still here and cancer free 3 years later. He's very knowledgeable and has thoroughly educated me on prostate cancer. He's the best!

very long wait times always. Hare to reach him in between visits. Rare to get a call back.

I consulted Dr. Scherr after an unacceptable evaluation by another urologist, i.e., I was not comfortable with both the treatment and the evaluation of the first physician I consulted. Dr. Scherr , to whom I am eternally grateful did a very thorough exam, recommended surgery and removed a tumor from my bladder which the first doctor missed completely (R. Ernest Sosa MD). I am extremely happy that I trusted my instincts and found Dr. Scherr.

Dr. Scherr is absolutely the best in his field,very knowledgeable and explains which procedures and options you may have for a condition. He is the cream of the crop, anyone who seeks his care should feel confident with his statements of advice.He is only available on Tuesdays, the rest of the week he is in the operating room! The best surgeon...experience makes perfect!
