Dr. Sherwood and his staff were excellent. Dr.Sherwood was very knowledgeable and took his time explaining everything to me and my husband about my condition. He came highly recommended and we were very impressed with the time he spent with us. I am now scheduled for an operation with Dr. Sherwood and feel confident that I am in good hands with him. I will definitely refer him to anyone ever needing his expertise.
