Dr. Sherman exhibits a lack of professionalism and competence. He is brusque with his patients and curt with his receptionist. My wife and I, both in our seventies, were referred to Dr. Sherman by our Primary Care Provider as a matter of course. Before seeing us, he had his receptionist determine whether or not both our Medicare and secondary insurance deductibles had been met. Since it was January, they had not. We had to write a check for both the Medicare deductible amounts as well as 20% of the Medicare allowed amounts not paid by Medicare for the procedures he was to perform! As it turned out, when the Medicare statements came in the mail, we discovered that, in my case, the Medicare deductible amount was applied to a provider whom I saw a week after seeing Dr. Sherman and who subsequently billed me for it! In my wife’s case, Medicare paid more than anticipated and, thus, the patient’s responsibility was less than what was paid. When the Medicare statements were brought to his receptionist’s attention that showed that we had overpaid in both instances, it took over two months for the doctor to reimburse us, and that was after repeated visits and phone calls. It seems it’s his policy that his receptionist cannot correct any errors without his specific review and approval. As for the quality of care exhibited, when we finally did see him, he proceeded to write eyeglass prescriptions (for both reading and distance) for both of us after a cursory examination. In my case, it consisted of only one viewing of a single line of a projected eye chart for each prescription. When I pointed out that in neither case did I ever see the letters clearly and that all previous eye tests I ever had consisted of several viewing iterations while changing lenses until the line was clear and sharp, he reacted as if I were questioning his competency. My wife’s experience was the same. When we took the prescriptions to an optometrist and had the glasses made – Surprise, Surprise – neither of us could read with the reading glasses nor see clearly with the distance glasses. We had to have a proper examination by the optometrist and the glasses reground!
