Dr. Sherer did my gastric sleeve surgery (2017) and I could not be more pleased with how it progressed, from the initial consultation to the final follow-up appt. He did such a great job on the surgery that I didn't even have to stay in the hospital overnight! My recovery was quick and without complications. I can't imagine using any other surgical group!

My name is Elizabeth Johnson…read more I was admitted (on 3/9/26) with the assistance of my neighbor who was kind enough to drive me to the hospital when I was pregnant and throwing up so hard I couldn't see correctly to put a face together. I was admitted and promptly told I "came to the wrong hospital" because I was a pregnant woman. They no longer have a comprehensive women's care center. I was hooked up to an IV and administered fluids. I was promptly un-hooked from IV bags and given 2 CT scans where they couldn't find anything abnormal according to what they verbally told me. They made arrangements for a transport to the hospital where I am supposed to give birth. I waited roughly 8 hours, crying, without any fluids hooked up to my IV or the ability to get food or water. The site where I was given the IV began to ache and throb. I asked initially to have the IV simply replaced and was denied. I asked if I could have it removed and was also denied. I did not want to remove the IV myself and risk injury. My fiancé showed up and offered to drive me himself to the new hospital. Dana told us a lot of things including that we may not be able to get into the accepting hospital as their doors may be locked when we get there. She also told me that my insurance may not cover the services provided there that day because it may not have been a true emergency. The charge nurse, Dana Steele, told me they could remove the IV, but it would result in an immediate discharge. We agreed to this as we were going to then drive to the other hospital. She had another nurse come over and tell me that, "Any time you go to the hospital- you get an IV in the case that you suffer a stroke, etc." Exhausted and in pain, I reiterated that I understood. This new nurse continued to speak over me and get pretty aggressive. I simply reiterated that, "Yes, that's why you are a nurse. You went to medical school and understood all of this." Dana started snapping her fingers at me and pointed towards the door- telling us to leave, and I couldn't be formally discharged at this point. I am a server. I often have to accommodate customers who yell and cause a scene at me because of arbitrary things like how cooked a steak is technically or the amount of time it takes to cook something. I was not that lady to these people. I did not raise my voice, and I did not curse at anyone. I was a pregnant lady who was dehydrated, hungry, scared, and in pain. I later received a bill that states that I am not the only patient on my account. I am listed as a guarantor for some random person named Sibbes Johnson. The only correct information on my billing portal is my email address and name. I tried to contact their billing department from the online 800-number and was forwarded to somewhere in India where a woman told me their systems are down this week and to call back next week. I filed a detailed complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services and was told to again attempt to contact the hospital directly as this is a HIPAA violation- I should not be able to see someone else's home address or personal information. The hospital billing department told me that I need to print this information physically and bring it to the hospital physically to attempt to resolve this. I wish this part of it was easier to resolve, truthfully.

I am sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision…read more I had a tonsillectomy at this practice, and it was one of the most distressing medical experiences of my life. I was not informed ahead of time that additional procedures would be performed, and I later learned from another doctor that I had also undergone sinus surgery, which I do not recall consenting to. Post-surgery, I was rushed out of the facility while still heavily sedated and struggled to dress or stand without my mother's help. In the days following surgery, I experienced significant nausea and vomiting blood. When we contacted the office, my concerns were dismissed and I was told to wait another day. I was reassured that complications with my uvula healing were normal and would resolve, but they did not. I also experienced repeated ear infections afterward. There were additional moments during my visits that made me uncomfortable, including an invasion of privacy while I was changing. I was also offered crackers after surgery. Thankfully, I did not attempt to eat them, and when my mother questioned whether that was appropriate, the nurse promptly removed them. On each visit, the service felt abrupt and unwelcoming, and I waited roughly two hours or more to be seen. This caused me to miss the remainder of my workday. Overall, I did not feel informed, listened to, or cared for during a very vulnerable time. I strongly recommend asking detailed questions, bringing an advocate with you, and ensuring you fully understand what procedures are planned before surgery.
