Dr. Scherer is everything you want in a doctor. She is personable, caring, and most of all highly proficient in all aspects of medicine. In many cases she knows more than a specialist and able to identify the true cause of a problem. Whether you need a primary care physician or a proctologist (or both!), Dr. Scherer is a first-rate choice. Medical Assistant Heather is a great complement.

Dr. Scherer diagnosed and treated my very painful hemorrhoids professionally and compassionately. Her "Office Hemorrhoidectomy" memorandum advising on physiology and treatment greatly facilitated my understanding and care, for which I am eternally grateful.

Hate doing reviews. But had to, because she helped me so much just in my first session alone. She was so informative wherefore these days is very unusual. I actually cant wait to see her again. My problem was on going for years. I saw so many different drs and assumed she would have been another name to list. She proved me wrong. I highly recommend her.

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Scherer for over 25 years. She is up to date with today’s technology and is a very compassionate Physician. She takes time with each patient and is a good listener. Her staff of Michael, Heather, and Lilly are all terrific people and work well together. So, if you want the best Internist in South Florida, go see Dr. Scherer on Commercial Blvd. She deserves a 5 star rating.

This physician has been my primary physician as well as my proctologist for about 26 years. I am an attorney, former arbitration judge, and now a certified mental health and addiction professional. I have found her able to " go the extra mile" to take care of my physical and mental needs. I also am aware of the practices of many physicians due to my legal background. This doctor is the best I've ever seen. I hope to be with her for very long time in a healthy future.

I have never had a doctor take their time with me like she does. She has the best bed side manner and she is so knowledgeable in many areas.
