Dr. Joel Sherman, MD

After seven years with Dr. Joel Sherman, I’m extremely disappointed. My BPH was handled with nothing but meds and routine tests, while my symptoms — waking up 4–5 times a night and constant daily inconvenience — never improved. Every time I asked about real solutions, especially a referral for a PAE procedure with an interventional radiologist at NYU (a procedure he doesn’t even perform), he refused. It felt like my quality of life and desire to get off long-term medication were ignored. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this practice to anyone seeking real treatment options instead of being kept in a medication loop.

Dr. Sherman is one of the most competent and caring specialists I have had the good fortune to visit.He leaves no "stone"unturned. He respects and listens to his patients fears and concerns. I am very pleased with the PA s and the entire staff. They have shown nothing but kindness and professionalism. They are all to be applauded. Thank You

Dr Sherman and his staff are very attentive and give great service. I have had Kidney stones removed by Dr Sherman and he is wonderful. Highly recommend.

I was admitted into the hospital with kidney stones, woke up after procedure to be seen by Dr. Sherman who made me feel like I was his only patient. I felt so comfortable with him. He's an amazing Doctor!

Hands down great all around Dr.

this office is not user-friendly - I had recurring UTI - When this occurred, the Doctor did not have office hours - So I would always go to my GP - then follow up w/Dr Sherman - This went on for two years - I would see Dr Sherman after the infection cleared up (actually his office assistant - almost never saw him) - So it was a "free" visit for him - since there was really nothing wrong . with me - After this going on for a long time, I was told by Dr Sherman - don't go to your GP - Take a urine sample to Quest and the Doctor Sherman will call in the antibiotic prescripton I need - Fair? So I woke up suffering with the urgent symptoms of UTI and took my urine specimen to the lab and called the office for the prescripton that was promised to me. I was told he is going on vacation and cannot see anyone - Furious, I went to my GP and got the needed prescripton. I called Dr Sherman's office to complain and was told to come in - but it was too late - I had my prescripton - Needless… to say I never saw him again -

As a patient of Dr Sherman, it is not surprising to read the reviews about him. Dr Sherman is very arogant and unprofessional. He doesn't like to be questioned. He avoids giving direct answers.When asked a question his tone of voice and demeanor change immediately. In my experience with him, he likes to play psychological games by putting fear in your mind. If you don't comply to his treatment he says you may end up with something else. At one point he gave me an appointment for a urine test, next thing I knew he had me on a stretcher with wires on my privates. Never mentioned the urine test. Dr Sherman likes to mislead patients by scheduling a particular test and then performing another one. His staff is unprofessional, rude and lack patient care services. Their poor communication skills lack compassion. I would not recommend this doctor.

I am glad to see other people feel the same way - his office staff is horrible, he is arrogant and has not regard for anyone. My sister was told by him directly if you don't like the way i run my office then find another doctor. He makes you go in for the visit wheher your results are good or bad. He makes a statement saying "things don't look good". So you get sent for a biopsy and then when the entire family goes in for the results, he says, "good news-everything is fine". Several times this happened to us. It's terrible to put an older person through something like that.

Dr. Sherman is a caring, honest professional. He is easy to communicate with and spends the time you need to get the information you need for your problem.
