National Pain Institute: Scott D. Sherman, MD

"When the doctor is late seeing you on your scheduled appointment. We never get an apology or a no show credit to our medical bill. However, when we are late to our appointment. I got sent home, which is an hour away with no medication refill script. This is why I'm no longer a patient here. They'd rather loose a year long patient over the I-4 traffic jam that caused me to be late. Oh well, there are many other pain management practices with super nice staff. Doctor Sherman comes off nice at the beginning, but on your follow up visits. He will walk past you without acknowledging you. And they only send 2 weeks of medication to your pharmacy to keep you coming back. They switched my medication 5 times. It was from bad to worse. Sherman called in a pain patch that took my pharmacy 4 days to get in stock. I laid in bed suffering for days and he did nothing about it. They don't even have after hours phone service. They want you to think that the injections work 100% when they don't. They assume we fake our pain to get pills. MRI results do not lie about the patients pain. My new pain doctor is the best. He does not play around with the patients pain discomfort. He will not allow you to be in pain. If the medication doesn't work. He will call something in same day and have you return the other medication in to the pharmacy. Do not sit home in pain waiting days for an appointment. Call Aspire Pain Relief in Tampa USF."

"I been with dr. Sherman over 13 years for chronic pain that will never go away. I drive almost a hour every month to that office and i never complain. After 2 car accidents not my fault, I searched high and low for pain management to listen to me,because I'm allergic to everything. Dr Sherman he worked with me and worked until we found something and we did. He never used me as a Guinea pig or had me hooked on all different drugs. The office staff is always there to help us and very friendly. Dr. Sherman is a very straight and honest doctor, will not BS..you also better be straight with him , because he will see through all the BS."

"Staff was courteous, professional, informative. Dr. Sherman is professional, gentle, and excellent at what he does. Lots of improvement after first treatment. I will be a patient as long as is needed to manage my spine issues and keep my quality of life. Words cant describe how much this helped give me my life back."

"Dr. Sherman is a great physician. Hands down. He has a VERY difficult job and has people that try to take advantage of him sometimes which can lead to bad reviews so be weary when you read negative ones. I have been a patient for almost two years and am very happy with how I’ve been treated and my plan of care. Dr Sherman has a strong personality which in my opinion is a good thing. He is straight to the point and will guide you to make the best decision for what you need in a safe manner. Raul his Physicians Assistant is also fantastic. I have seen him a number of times and he is always willing to listen and is beyond knowledgeable. The ARNP is equally fantastic as well. And as far as the Office staff I have to say they are super friendly, caring and always willing to work with you with your best intentions in mind. 5 Stars for sure!"

"I have been seeing Dr Sherman for several years. To put it simply, he cares. He has made a huge difference in my every day life. He takes the time to listen and understand my concerns. I have never felt rushed in an appointment. I have built a level of trust and comfort with him that I think is rare with a medical professional. Every time I leave his office, I feel like I know where things stand, and what the next step should be. Additionally, the office staff are wonderful and friendly. They immediately remember me and greet me my name even if I usually only see them once a month. I don't think I could work a 40+ hour week, and then have a full life outside of the office, if it weren't for Dr. Sherman's knowledge and care."
