Update: Dr. Sherman had his lawyer reach out to me to offer a fraction of the cost of my treatment back in exchange for deleting all negative reviews. I wonder how many times he has done this before.
Review:
This man is the worst medical professional I have ever met and an absolute nightmare to deal with as a person.
Sherman's entire staff completely turned over TWICE in the 1.5 years that I went to him. There's no mystery why. He treats them all like incredibly disrespectfully. He condescends to his entirely female staff with infuriatingly toxic masculinity. Months after I ended treatment with him I ran into one of his former staff on the street who described him as a sociopath.
I had beautiful teeth before I ever saw him, and only came to him to fix one minor imperfection in my top front teeth. Nevertheless, he insisted he saw several flaws in my teeth that I was blind to and that he was going to fix them all, in addition to the concern that brought me to see him. I had no idea what he was seeing but he acted so confident about it that I decided to trust him. This was a huge mistake. He completely ruined my teeth. He insisted that he needed to drill gaps in between my teeth in order to give them room to move around. Guess what? The gaps never closed. They are still large enough to stick my tongue through. I can't even have a meal without getting food caught in between all my bottom teeth. As if that weren't enough, he never fixed the lone concern that prompted me to start the treatment. I brought this to his attention numerous times as time continued to go on without any progress, and when I again told him at what was supposed to be the final appointment of my treatment, he yelled at me and accused me of "making up new stuff". After he calmed down (with the help of one of his staff members) he offered to have some new aligners made as a "favor", but there was zero chance I was ever going to continue treatment with him. Another $4K later I am now being treating by a competent orthodontist who is absolutely appalled by what Sherman has done to my teeth.
The negative accounts against Sherman go far beyond mine. My dentist used to exclusively refer patients to him---I believe there was a personal connection. By the time I told them about my experience with him they said they had already had "many" complaints from other referrals and had already ceased all recommendations.
