Dr Schermerhorn was a wonderful doctor who saved my daughter's eyes. He was a visionary with a delightful sense of humor.

World's largest retina photograph collection! Amazing designs of concave mirrors! Unbelievably committed to his patients, family, and friends!
We talked about medicine, about music, about health food, and about mutual friends such as Dr. Bill Saunders. He gave me tours of his photo collections, his family pics, and details about the physics of the equipment used for exams. However special he made me feel, I've no doubt he extended that same kind of generosity to all he met.
While I have thought of him often, it was only today I did an Internet search that led me to here. He inspired me then; he continues to inspire me to this day...
