John Scherer is the finest, young, professional I've met in my 86 + years. Hopefully, I won't have to be seen for a while, but if I have to be, I would request John Scherer. He talked to me constantly .. telling me his thoughts regarding my condition, and what he thought my treatment should be and why. And he also asked about my thoughts. Then he told me what he was going to do and why and what I should expect to expect I hope NM realizes what a healthcare gem he is.
