Rex Sherer Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr. Sherer was excellent. He was very up front in the beginning about the risk I was taking and the serious committment I was embarking upon.

My impression of him has not changed over time except that he has becoming exceedingly more compassionate and encouraging. Tactful.

Dr. Sherer's office staff was very helpful. I've had several instances where I needed information and wanted to ask questions, they were great.

Future patients should know that he will help you as long as you are compliant after surgery.

He emphasizes aftercare a great deal, especially vitamins. Also counseling if he feels you are a candidate.

They have a support group for his patients.

I'd give him a 10/10 overall. I'm alive and healthy and almost at goal.

Both are great. He calmed me down in the holding room while I was about to have a panic attack.

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF DR. SHERER WAS NICE. MY MOTHER WENT WITH ME AND SHE ALSO LIKE HIM. HE WAS VERY HELPFUL AND HE ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS AND HE WAS VERY HONEST.

When I first met Dr. Sherer I felt at ease right away. I and my wife both felt he is a caring man and does not think he is god or has the power of life like some docs who are full of themselves. I think he is a down to earth person. All of the people in the office were very nice and pleasant. He went over the surgery with a video and after a brief physical exam he asked and answered a lot of questions. The dr. laid out all of the risks of this surgery including death as a possibility.

Dr. Shere was the best dr. a person could have. He had very good bed side manners, he's a christian. His office was very clean, everything in place His staff very prompt.
He look as much time as i needed to get allow of my questions and my fears addressed. If i have to do it a thousand times dr shere would be my surgeon everytime.

Dr. Sherer was very nice and professional. I had had all pretesting done (psych, nutrition, pcp letter) before meeting with him.

His staff was incredible. I was approved May 18 but he couldn't schedule until July and I had commitments in Early August I couldnt miss so I waited until August 25.

Aftercare is emphasized by Dr. Sherer. He suggests a support group, but I have several friends that I get advice from. He said that is OK until I need more.

Risks were very up front. In fact due to my size and condition I was scheduled in Birmingham at Brookwood hospital. I have no regret on that.

Overall Dr. SHerer is the best. His surgical competence and bedside manner, as well as that of his partners and staff who made rounds the two days after surgery until I saw him on discharge day.

MY OPINION OF DR. SHERER WAS THAT HE WAS VERY NICE, UNDERSTANDING AND LISTENED TO WHAT I HAD TO SAY. MOST OF ALL HE GAVE ALL OF THE CREDIT TO GOD. AS FAR AS HIS STAFF, EVELYN WAS VERY SWEET AND DIDN'T GET UPSET NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I CALLED HER.

Dr. Sherer did not seemed rushed when I met with him for my consult. He carefully explained the procedure and the pro's and con's of having the surgery and of open verses laproscopic surgery. Then, he allowed me ample time to ask any questions and make any comments I felt he needed to know about me. He orders additional test/consults according to that individual patients needs. With my history and comments made on the questionaire, he decided that I needed a sleep study only. As it turned out, I did have sleep apnea. I have heard nothing but good comments about him and I feel totally comfortable allowing him to do my surgery.

Dr Sherer is a great doctor I Love him !!! I trust him with my life ...and his staff is great ....wouldnt go to anyone else with this

Dr. Sherer seemed very caring and concerned about my wellbeing. He answered all of my questions and treated me with dignity and respect.
