I have been a patient of his for a couple of years. Dr. Scherschel and his team are amazing. They explain things to where you can understand what is going on and he has an amazing bedside manor! I have seen a couple of heart doctors and will never see someone else. He amazing at what he does.

This man is not capable of caring for the patient or their heart. Prairie Cardiovascular has bloated him up to be a liability for everyone. He is never available his nurse is on another planet and his diagnosis notes read like a 2nd grader wrote them. Don’t trust Scherschel or Prairie Cardiovascular. It’s not safe.

Dr Scherschel should be banned from the medical profession. He is irresponsible with the care of his patients. His skill set is poor. His knowledge and willingness to consider overall patient is zero. Don't trust your cardiac health to this man child.

Dr. Scherschel is one of the most informative, professional doctors we have encountered, especially considering his young age. He inserted a pacemaker into my husband and then performed a cardiac ablation on me. Both procedures were discussed at length with us, both prior to and at our follow-up appointments. Both procedures were a total success, and we both feel blessed to have been introduced to Dr. Scherschel. Would highly recommend him.
