Julie Ann Sherman, DO

Went to see Dr. Sherman for the first time today and I am so relieved to find a doctor that was friendly, willing to sit down and talk with me and answer all my questions. Her office staff is very nice and the resident doctors there are awesome!
The resident doctor who did my physical exam before Dr. Sherman came in was so receptive and nice, I really appreciated her demeanor. I also really REALLY like that this office is more about holistic and natural approaches first before prescribing pills (when applicable).
Dr. Sherman listened to my questions, gave me respect and answered everything she could. So happy to be her patient and hope for a good doctor/​patient relationship going forward.

Dr. Sherman is one of the nicest physicians I have ever had the pleasure to spend time with. She listens, she cares, and she takes her time with you. Her staff is friendly and helpful as well.
People are quick to write a negative review when they come in and the doctor doesn’t do what they want them too, that’s not the way it works people. Doctors go to school for over 12 years, your PHD from Google search doesn’t not put you on a doctors level.
I have been a patient here for almost 10 years and have zero complaints. the fact that she is booked months in advanced is a testament to her quality work.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sherman for 2+ years. Art first I thought that I had finally found a good doctor. Since then I have had reason to doubt my earlier judgment. I called the office for a referral to an allergist because I had intermittent itching over a protracted period of time (decades) and had had enough. I had previously visited the office for this same condition being cared for by an intern. After following the advice I received for over 2 months with no relief, I called. A staffer called me back with advice. Dr. S advised me to do just what I had been doing since my last visit. Surely the treatment prescribed by the intern was recorded in my file. Then why offer failed advise again? I believe she neglected to consult my file or failed to read it in depth. I had already had some serious questions about the quality of care I had been receiving and this proved to be the determining factor in my decision to change doctors.
Shattered confidence in her medical judgment and commitment to patient care notwithstanding I feel compelled to comment on my experiences with her administrative and support staff. I can only liken them to a train wreck. Lost messages, failure to return phone calls, and general incompetence are the hallmarks of at least one staff member, the one who handles the phone messages. I notified Dr. S about the problem and, while there was some improvement, at best I can only describe the service and sporadic, inconsistent, and untrustworthy. I have found that a competent administrative staff is as important as quality any other aspect of medical care. I continue to seek a qualified doctor, who also has a competent staff, so far in vain. I can only such a team exists within the ABC system. It is certainly not found in Dr. Sherman’s office. Since no stars are not possible I have no choice but to grudingly award one,
.

Continue to be impressed with Dr. Sherman. She fixed a spasm in my back today in just a few minutes. Can’t say enough good about her!

I came into her office with a lot of pain. The staff told me it was by appt only but the doctor was kind enough to see me. It turned out I had shingles she took great care of me. She actually cared enough. Being young like me we tend to be careless and feel as nothing will happen. I have found my new doctor to stick with.

Waited 90 minutes to see the doctor for 5 minutes. All she did was refer me elsewhere. Not coming back in my life.

I’ve lived in LB for 3 years and have yet to find a GP that I love. — Dr. Sherman was nice but after waiting 2 hours I only saw her for 2 minutes. She didn’t even do my exam. I understand that you should expect a wait at the doctors office but 2 hours? It probably would have taken longer but I spoke up at said I had to leave for work ASAP. I’d rather go to a walk-​in clinic.

I just recently changed insurance carriers and Dr. Sherman was recommended by my provider. I had an urgent need to be addressed and was hoping to get an appt within in a few days. To my amazement her staff was more than accommodating! They took me in right away and were very thorough. The entire staff was SO friendly and really treated me like i was their best client. Dr. Sherman not only addressed the reason I was there but also took the time to go over some things my previous dr failed to discuss with me. Hand down the BEST Dr i’ve ever had. For once i’m not dreading a dr visit! I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Sherman to any one!

Dr Sherman was just by chance, lucky me! I had an allergic reaction and was new to the area and my Heath care provider recommend her. Her office got me in a few hours later. To make a long story short, she’s GREAT! I decided to make her my primary physician. Dr. Sherman and her staff are warm and welcoming every time I go.

I am very disappointed in Dr. Sherman. I have been going to her for the past few years. I was recently tested for Lupus after visiting a dermatologist for a rash on my back and scaling on my scalp and ears. I called Dr. Sherman’s office and asked her staff if they could ask her to please call me back to discuss my test results and they said that it was not Dr. Sherman’s policy to call patients back. After I visited a rheumatologist I called her office again to request that she call me so I could let her know about my meeting with the rheumatologist. Again her staff told me that I would need to make an appointment to see her and that she does not return patient calls. I will be looking for a new doctor for the next step in managing my health.

TERRIBLE DOCTOR. Went in for a basic check up and some lab work and gave her some confidential information and was then was almost harassed for what i had told her confidentially. She made me feel humiliated and totally came off as attacking me for why I was in the office instead of doing her job as a «professional Doctor who is there to help her patients in every possible way.» Will never go back.
O AND I WAITED FOR 45 MINUTES BEFORE BEING SEEN BY THE NURSE IN THE FIRTST PLACE.

Dr Sherman is thorough and actually takes time with you and listens. She speaks the truth and addresses whole body and life issues. When you are with her in an exam room, you get her FULL attention. I cannot recommend this doctor enough.

I chose Dr. Sherman based on the existing reviews on Unilocal.At the time, I was unhappy with my current doctor and looking for a change.
I have never written a review on Unilocal in my life but my excellent experience with Dr. Sherman and her staff prompted me to do so. From the moment I stepped into the office I was greeted by friendly staff. My wait was minimal; the extent of filling out new patient paperwork. Dr. Sherman and her entire staff were friendly, easy to talk and thorough. It was evident they sincerely cared; I didn’t feel like just another patient they were trying to shuffle out. I would highly recommend Dr. Sherman. Probably the best experience I’ve ever had at a doctor’s office.

Lazy homophobe. She was taking stitches out of my eyebrow and told me I almost ended up looking like «the people on Broadway» (a gay-​friendly street in Long Beach). Have opinions dummy but don’t tell your patients. Any time I had a complaint she pretty much delegated it to a resident doctor. Never going back.

Dr. Sherman is great. I’ve been going to her for over 4 years… she has a great bedside manner… very blunt and to the point… no sugar coating… she’s always very thorough about answering any questions you have… referrals to specialists if she can’t help you…
Her staff is top notch as well… Angela is super friendly and has a way of making you feel at ease the minute you walk in… Monica is also super friendly and is quick to verifiy insurance issues and such
The hardest part of having Dr. Sherman as your primary physician is that she’s popular… and therefore it can take some time to get an appointment more often than not… but I guess it part of her greatest blessing being part of her burden… she’s good and people want to be under her care!
She recently stop taking my medical group… I got a letter informing me of this… called the office and they helped me go about calling my insurance and getting changed over that same day… granted my insurance provider was awesome and actually retrograded the change so that it wouldn’t effect my appointment later that week!

First time a doctor actually lisens to me and does everything possible to be checked out when need to and has referals. She’s great. The one star is missing because when I schedule an appointment its not soon enough for me. but that just means that she that good that she has lots of clients so that means shes very good busy doctor.

Dr. Sherman was my favorite GP in the whoooole world… ever – until she (for some unknown reason) decided not to give a referral to my sister after having SEVERE, possibly fatal diarrhea for over 4 months. Yes, 4 months. Dr. Sherman said she had giardia from my sister’s new puppy, but the medicine didn’t help, and it only got worse. My poor sister lived in pain, fear, discomfort and frustration, and asked Dr. Sherman for a referral over and over again.
Finally, when my sister realized she was either going to die, or she was going to have to suck up the cost of going to another non-​referred doctor, she was diagnosed with colitis.
This is a doctor I have recommended to many of my friends who absolutely love going to her, but I’m sorry, she misdiagnosed my sister and wouldn’t help her as she ethically should have, and now my sister might be permanently damaged because of it. It has been nearly a year, and she is nowhere near back to normal, and I have been worried about her nearly every day since.
Dr. Sherman also embarrassed my sister by publicly announcing and asking her a VERY personal and private question regarding a relationship in the hallway connected to the lobby, which was full of her employees and a couple of patients. This is totally inappropriate and beyond unethical, no matter how close the patient is to the doctor.
I have another horror story that I will not reveal due to the closeness of the person involved, but let’s just say she’s done, and is still affected every time she thinks about it.
I’m truly sad to say I’ll never recommend anyone going to Dr. Sherman again.

I love Dr. Sherman. She has been my doctor for over 10 years now. I have followed her to a couple of different offices. She really makes you feel like you’re her VIP patient.
I came down with a very bad case of vertigo a couple of years ago and Dr. Sherman was very helpful and even made herself available to me on Christmas Day.
I cannot say enough great things about the care I receive from her and her staff.

I highly recommend Dr. Sherman. I change jobs frequently and I’ve never had a regular doctor but I go back to her because she is such a great doctor.
She really takes the time to sit down and talk to you and ask you about your life. She will tell you if she thinks you are working too much, not eating right, etc.
I really appreciate that personal touch.
