Patient Reviews
Mar 12, 2020
Dr. Scher was recommended by our pediatrician. After raving about him, I decided to follow my daughter’s pediatrician recommendation. It was easy to make an appointment and the wait was short to see him. No drive by visit with Dr. Scher During the visit, he was clear, concise and very thorough. My daughter was able to tell me the recommendations after the visit which is a first.
