Sherman Vicky MD

Writing this as I’m sitting in this woman’s lobby for over an hour (last time 3) for the third time. Where to start? The lobby receptionist chsstised my girlfriend for not making her own appointments. She has appointments cancelled over and over again. She told her bleeding during pregnancy was no big deal and then we suffered a miscarraige. She didn’t have the necessary equipment for procedures. Her and her staff are rude (except Laurie). I’ve only been here for support a couple times, my lady has been dealing with these people for months. Insane

First off i only saw the dr in her office maybe 3 times she delivered my son by c section and i saw her one time in the hospital she said 3 words to me no personality! i ended up getting very ill after my c section went in to see her and her assistant lori and was told oh your fine it’s just hormones i had a full body rash my blood was toxic and they didn’t ever do a blood test or urinalysis !! well my husband is in the military so we had to move about 5 weeks later i get to VA the next day i go to the ER i am rushed to the other hospital because i have regurgitation in my heart and i have never had heart problems ever! turns out i got a heart infection called endocarditis from my c section and ended up having open heart surgery a new aortic heart valve and a pacemaker because of her negligence! when she could have just gave me antibiotics if she would have done her job! now i am on blood thinners for life missed out on my sons first 3 months of life and am still suffering! not counting you wait in her office over a hour and a half each time and they run women through like cattle!

LOVE Sherman and always recommend! It’s a busy office and you will typically wait about an hour before every appt, but there’s a reason! She’s wonderful! Lori, her NP is SO caring, kind hearted, love her! I’ve had Sherman deliver 3 of my 4, and have always been pleased! My first OBGYN was awful and I will never forget my experience with her. Sherman has constantly reassured me
everything is fine. I even suffered a miscarriage in between pregnancies, Sherman and Lori went out of their way with the following pregnancy to let me hear the baby’s heartbeat addition times and comfort me whenever I had anxiety about the loss. My first delivery with my bad OB resulted in a csection, Sherman took the time to fix the huge scar the previous DR left and now it’s small, minimal, can barely even notice it! She truly loves her job and loves babies, exactly what I want in an OBGYN.

I found Dr. Sherman unavailable! She had her receptionist testing me for a bladder leak — a very invasive test — she then performed a bladder sling operation and I NEVER went back — she wasted so much of my time it was pathetic! I literally waited 2 hours to see her and then I didn’t even get to see her, I saw her NP! Horrible practices!

I hate to rate Dr. Sherman’s office so low, because her Nurse Practitioner, Laurie, is amazing. Throughout my pregnancy i saw Laurie every time except for two. If you’ve ever been pregnant you know you see you dr every month, and toward the end, every week. So please do not mistake my two stars as an indictment of Laurie, shes awesome.
Dr. Sherman, however, is another story. Like i said she never made time to see me, so when i called her office with concerns in my last trimester and she’d tell me not to worry i was concerned since she probably couldnt describe me to a sketch artist.
I always waited at least an hour in the waiting room. If i had an appt during work hours i just took the whole day off cause i could not promise to be back at any particular time.
but most horrible of it all was when the nurses called Dr. Sherman to come deliver me, she came in and said «Ok well i have a salad in the car so call me when shes crowning.» SERIOUSLY?! did she say SALAD?
when she finally did decide i was more important than a salad (and by the way if that salad didnt have feta and chicken on it, i swear to god i’ll freak out that i was ranked below it!) she never addressed me once.
she only talked to the nurses and only even looked at me while i was actually pushing. my labor sounded like this:
«Good job katie! go go go push good job! *turn around* did you hear that carol and jim are back together? oh i know she so should not have taken him back. i think shes pregnant*turns back around* Push katie push!»
ugh.
