This was my first time meeting Dr. Sherwood, and I was impressed. The wait time was a little longer than I expected but once getting into my appointment. I understood why, Dr. Sherwood is very thorough , took the necessary time to answer my questions, to show me the diagrams of my actual case. I could tell he did his homework, was prepared and is very knowledgeable concerning my case. I watched his video and I was impressed hearing and reading about his background but once meeting him I was floored by his empathy, knowledge and concern. He really took his time to ensure that my daughter and I had all of the information we needed to make an informed decision regarding my care. I am a visual and auditory learner and he came prepared with pictures, diagrams and a clear, honest and transparent approach to my case. I look forward to working with Dr. Sherwood as I navigate my medical concerns.The staff was very nice and professional yet friendly.
