Anyone who gives this place 5* is pill shopping and looking to get written narcotics with no scrutiny. I was a patient of Dr. Sherman for over two years. They do not do any actual psychiatric work with their patients. When you come in with a medication issue or problem they tell you life isn't perfect, deal with it. I called their office between visits because my father was diagnosed with CTE and my mother got served papers for a legal seperation, the situation was causing problems in my romantic relationship, and my parents were getting divorced. I was a hysterical mess. I called their office balling, crying my eyes out begging for help. They told me that I had to come down to their office at 5:15 and see the dr before they could do anything. I explained to them that it is unsafe for me to drive in this condition. I explained how over the last day I had parked a publix for cigarettes and left my driver door wide open, and how when I would try to drive to work or home I would consistently pass my exit because I could not keep my focus and I felt I was an unsafe driver. I explained I could have a phone conversation with the doctor and he could assess the situation and he then if he felt necessary prescribe me medication to help me deal with the situation. I said I am begging for your help here, I do not know what to do, and am probably going to check myself into the hospital because I don't know anything else to do to get help. She said she would call the doctor but it is unlikely that he will do anything, not even give me a phone call. I then told her that I had been previously unsatisfied with his care as there has been a situation in the previous month and no one ever returned my call. I said a psychiatrist/patient relationship is about trust and if I can't trust my doctor, who I am paying money to care for my mental health, to do his job and care for my mental health, which this circumstance is extremely hard to deal with for someone diagnosed with PTSD and Anxiety, then I will seek out a different doctor because i am unsatisfied with their care. I have never heard back from them.
Also, aside from this situation the doctor is generally 30 mins late, if he even shows up himself and doesn't send a replacement. He prescribed me 5000 units of vitamin D which is toxic I later found out, and only takes cash no insurance.
This place is here to take advantage of the drug epidemic in south Florida. They trick you into believing you need to be on suboxone or subutex long term when the medication is not intended for that type of use. They had me brainwashed to the point that I was taking 16mgs a day and I tapered off completely with no side effects in 4 days when I was told it would take atleast a month probably longer.
People actually searching for mental health and addiction help beware. This is also the same facility that Dr. James Cocores practiced out of, who got had his medical license revoked and was arrested for illegally prescribing pain medication without doing a physical exam. A sting operation was done and on 11 seoerate occasions Dr. Cocores bragged about how much money he is making off of writing his "Junkie" patients perscriptions as he became more comfortable with the officer. Although this is unproven there are also claims he made sexual advances. If this was going on in your office, directly in the next room would you be ok with it?
If you want to actually get treatment for your problems go somewhere else. If you want suboxone without being asked any questions, come here.
I have since changed psychiatrists to a in network doctor, am extremely satisfied with their care and even tho I have to drive 45 mins both ways to Miami instead of down the street in Boca, I am much happier, have a better relationship with my family, and no longer suffer through each day. read more
