Frederic M Sherman

Beware! If you need a real doctor this office is not for you! Came here with my husband who was ill with obvious symptoms of the flu. The wait was an hour. The receptionists were not friendly to say the least. Busy talking about makeup and having more kids they paid little to no attention to anything going on in the office. The office itself is very old and dilapidated, with dim lighting and clutter. The entire time we were speaking with the doctor he was picking out chunks of soup out of his teeth with his fingers. The chunks were partially left on his fingers and partially on a dirty napkin that rested on top of charts, documents and other papers. There was a dirty spoon with pieces of carrot in the middle of the table. The conversation consisted mostly of explaining to us how he has gotten a bad review on ZocDoc and little about the reason we were there. Without any examination at first the doc started to write a prescription, stopped himself and called my husband into another room where he spent 30 seconds looking into his throat and listening to his chest. That is it. The prescription Dr. Sherman wrote was for Cephalexin, which is used to treat bacterial infections not viral like the flu or a cold. After taking the medicine for a few days with no improvement we looked it up and that is the info we found. Also, beware of the fact that this office does not do any blood work. You will be sent to a lab to only have to come back to the doctor to get results. It seems Dr. Sherman is not interested in treating and helping patients, but only in the money that the visits bring.
