Patient Reviews
Nov 13, 2024
Dr Scherer has done cataract surgery on both my eyes . He is the ultimate professional. Friendly, kind, greets patients warmly and explains in depth the procedure. He follows his patients for over a month after surgery to assure all is well. I would not consider going elsewhere.
