Dr. Michele Arlene Shermak, MD

Do NOT! I repeat do not EVER use this woman for any medical needs. There’s a reason they say “practicing” medicine. This woman will ruin you and then blame you for her mess ups.

Everything is fine until there is a complication. At that point, dr Shermak becomes defensive and stops thinking about the patient. She reports “she is best in practice” and thinks so much of herself she doesnt refer to others even though its in patient best interest. Major infections that get overlooked. Beyond unethical.

Outstanding accommodating informative professional !

Very professional very caring understanding able to explain everything perfectly so you understand it takes the time necessary to ensure you understand what’s going to happen she explained the procedure excellent her and her staff were nothing but outstanding nothing but excellent !!

Dr Shermak is very skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate . I am very glad that she is my plastic surgeon.

Dr. Shermak was the only surgeon my breast surgeon mentioned. She gave me little information before or after the surgery, and was annoyed when I asked questions. She never discussed the various options for reconstruction, just proceeded with her choice. I was hospitalized for infection, spent months on strong antibiotics and had to see an infectious disease specialist. She rushed through appointments and had NO bedside manner. Mastectomy is traumatic! She never offered an ounce of sympathy and was often rather rough during visits. I realize the infections were not her fault, but she was very annoyed by them and therefore with me. She rushed through appointments. She just promised me “beautiful breasts” when I asked questions. What a relief when I finally switched doctors and found a wonderful plastic surgeon. He had to undo what she had done: remove the tissue expander which was causing infection. She never suggested this. He was honest about the realistic (not beautiful)results I could expect after reconstruction. So 15 months post mastectomy, I am starting over now with limited options. Dr. Shermak’s interest lies with her cosmetic surgery patients. She is much nicer to them and takes her time with them. I’ve heard her.

Dr. Shermak should be decertified immediately. She performed a breast reduction on me that has left me disfigured for life. The scarring is so bad and painful that even now after 18 months I cannot wear a bra because of the agony. I had to consult another plastic surgeon who begrudgingly admitted something was not right and referred me to a wound center. Dr. Sherman’s answer to this mess she created was to come back for corrective surgery. The thought of letting her cut on me again is inconceivable. FYI legal measures are few concerning plastic surgery. Attorneys told me “the economics” weren’t good i.e. they can’t make enough money. There are too many good plastic surgeons to take a chance with this one. Steer clear. MB

you should see my breast reconstruction from this monster. what a tragic mess. she is forced on you by you cancer surgeon. don,t go here. she does very bad work. i have been suffering for 4 years because of her bad work.

Dr.Shermak is excellent doctor and has excellent bedside manners, she truly cares about her patients.

I had a previous surgery that just did not heal properly. My experience with Dr. Shermak has been nothing short of stellar. I was one of those patients who seemed to have a problem with each step we took. Dr. Shermak answered all my questions either in person, on the phone or via email. She calmed me down and reassured me when I thought there was no hope. Her patience with me was impressive.

Dr. Shermak was so helpful and answered any questions I had in office or over email and my results were exactly what I wanted. The office was beautifully kept and the staff was so friendly! Best decisions I've ever made!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Shermak. She took on my autoimmune disease and won. I look a lot younger, feel great and have lost a lot of weight. It was a difficult healing process but Dr. Shermak was with me along the way.

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Shermak. I know that she is an excellent doctor and I would recommend her to anyone, especially breast cancer survivors to her for reconstructive surgery. I know and my opinion, she is the best in the business!

I always enjoy my visits with Dr. Shermak. She is attentive, upbeat, professional, and easy to discuss my case with. She provided a great experience during a tough time with a breast cancer diagnosis.

Key points for Dr. Shermak 1. Prodecure Perfectionist - this is the type of surgeon we all want! 2. Hospital care excellent when for admitted patients. 3. Excellent pain management - for me a double mastectomy w\implants. She wants you to be comfortable and safe 4. Good time management. Don't be late, she runs on time.

Dr. Shermak and her staff are great!!

Dr. Shermak is prompt, attentive, thoughtful and a good surgeon. I have had a procedure for melanoma. I was referred to another plastic surgeon who said I would have a large scar, couldn't walk upstairs for 2 weeks and more. I left, called Dr. Shermak. She saw me the next day, the procedure was thorough and took 25 minutes. Very little scarring. She is "the best!" Thank heaven I found her before going through the other major operation.

I had searched and searched for a plastic surgeon after having cleft lip and palette and having 13 procedures I had hoped to find a surgeon that was willing to take on my situation. I had assymetrical breasts and had already had them reconstructed 10 years prior. One had been implanted while the other one was just lifted. I wanted both implanted and them to look as symmetrical as possible and as soon as I met Dr. Shermak she had no problem taking the task on! Her office staff was amazing, they were so friendly unlike the prior surgeons I had met and Dr. Shermak is by far one of the most personable doctors I have ever encountered. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. I emailed her right after my surgery with concerns and within minutes she was calling me to make sure I was okay. Her office staff accommodated me as I needed and I am so happy and impressed with the results. I have recommended my coworkers and friends, she is the best!

I have received excellent service from Dr. Shermak and her staff every time I've visited. Dr. Shermak is knowledgable, courteous, and affable.

Dr Shermak did a great job of listening to what I wanted. My breasts look like exactly what I asked for!
