So sorry to hear Dr. Sherman is no longer with us. May she rest in peace. Dr. Sherman saved my husbands life. she gave my husband Rx for blood test & ordered nurse to take urine sample. When results came back she said a very small amount of blood was in urine. so small was the amount we didn't take seriously but Dr. Sherman said she wanted to test further. Ultimately her professionalism and caring for her patients saved his life because he had bladder cancer. Thank You Dr. Sherman you will be missed!
