Review №1

My husband was referred to Dr Scherer in April, 2020 by his neurology group after a nerve test indicated motor neuron disease. Our first meeting with her and her resident was very thorough, reviewing all of his medical history. A few months later after rigorous physical examination, Dr Scherer informed us that my husband had ALS. She told us what life would be like living with ALS, we were shocked at her abrupt tone, and heartbroken with the diagnosis. However, Dr Scherer wrote all the orders to start my husband’s care in an efficient manner. Now a year has gone by and the disease has progressed, we’ve had several telemedicine calls with Dr Scherer and she managed his care reasonably well, but often had delays in getting orders for medicines and equipment. Just recently we’ve started hospice for him, he needed more ongoing care with being at home. Dr Scherer has denied any further care for him after initially saying that she would continue to oversee his respiratory settings. Very disappointed with her attitude and lack of compassion. We will be staying on with hospice so my husband can receive the care he needs. We have received compassion and care from others in the ALS community, so my husband and I continue to have hope for management of this devastating disease.

Ive had several visits with Dr. Scherer. She has misdiagnosed me twice and doesnt seem interested in putting forth the effort toward making a correct diagnosis. Ive fallen through the cracks with her on more than one occasion. She lacks follow up and follow through, at least with me, and its not like Im not involved with my health. Im motivated to get better. I get the feeling she just wishes Id go away, but she need not worry about that. Im sadly disappointed.

The person whos posting very derogatory reviews must have had a bad day, didnt get whatever he demanded, or is just a grump. Dr. Scherer was extremely friendly, attentive, and reassuring. I saw her for the first time today regarding a rare condition I have, and she did a thorough exam and ordered an EMG. Im not relapsing and even though this is the first time Ive seen her, I think she was almost as ecstatic as I was at that news. I would highly recommend Dr. Scherer. I found her to be kind, attentive, informed, and helpful. It was all around a very good experience, and if I ever do relapse again, there is no question Id put my fate in her hands to treat me. Five stars!

She’s horrible. Totally unwilling to take responsibility for her actions. I asked her to do 4 things for me at one of our visits, she dropped the ball on 3/4 and then had an excuse for each one that involved blaming someone else (even me, insinuating I’m just stupid). VERY bad bedside manner. When she diagnosed me with FA she was happy she was right and couldn’t hide it, and then proceeded to give me the worst case scenario. Also very lazy. Doesn’t return phone calls and doesn’t do what she says she will. Go to someone else.

Dr Scherer and her team are absolutely the best! After years of hit & miss treatment of my wifes Myasthenia Gravis, Dr Scherer accomplished more in a matter of months than the others did in years.Our initial appointment with her and an associate was totally comprehensive and lasted over 2 hours. Dr Scherer really cares and certainly knows what she is doing! (If she doesnt have an immediate answer, she WILL find it!)We are blessed to have her caring for my wife!

Shes a great dr. I was diagnosed with a very rare medical condition that no other Dr could recognized. She always a pleasure to deal with.
