We see Dr Taub same practice, seems to be a well run organization

Be careful with Advanced Urology if you have a pacemaker.
I saw Dr Rao there. After his exam they scheduled an mri there for me and then cancelled because I had a pacemaker, sent me to Lake Imaging and had MRI. Had pre biopsy done and then they never called me back to tell me what time to come into office for biopsy. I called at 4pm day before biopsy and was told they forgot to call me and cancel biopsy because they could not us lake Image MRI (where they sent me). Lake Image MRI showed good possibilty of cancer, so I was upset. A week later I got call from Ocala's Advanced office manager who was very helpful getting me an MRI at Advent Health in Wesley Chapel where they could do biopsy. Had MRI done there on NEW 3T MRI machine and was told entire pelvis area was clear and did not need biopsy, as there was nothing to biopsy. After 2 months of thinking I had cancer, I was elated.
Told my primary care physician I would never go back there. Would prefer Advent Health in Tavares or Wesley Chapel who know what they are doing.

Been using Dr Sher for over two years and found him to be excellent.Positive responses for refills by staff. Appointments right on time

[russtcc]

Been seeing Dr. Shur for over 6 years. Tracked me all the way thru radiation for prostate cancer and I still see him every 6 months. I think he's great and wouldn't change doctors.

[bhoward]

I've being going to Dr. Sher for over 3 years and really like him and the organization.

[JoMar]

Been pleased with Dr. Sher and his approach and knowledge. The staff in the practice is weak, not responsive and less then welcoming (imo) but that doesn't change my view of Dr. Sher

[Taltarzac725]

My Dad had him for years.

[LuvNH]

Excellent Urologist. My husband thinks he is the best.

[LizzieBorden]

My husband has been with Dr Sher for years now and we would not change ever. Been through a biopsy and some unusual things, he was with us all the way and very very good. We like his bedside manner. The office staff could use some work, but the Dr is worth staying for.

[KeithD]

I used Dr Sher and had a great experience. He takes the time to explain options. I found the office to be somewhat disorganized but they were going through an upgrade of systems. I would definitely return.

No - have never used this doctor - thanks for asking!

[Freeda]

My husband really likes Dr. Sher; he's attentive and very intelligent.

[Rich42]

I have gone to Dr. Sher for over 10 years and believe he is an excellent doctor. However, his supporting staff (from blood draws to returning calls) is a disaster!

[Linda2323]

I've been with Dr Sher for 6 months and would highly recommend him for your urological needs. He always seems to take the extra step in diagnosing a problem or concern.

I found this Medical Group to be very difficult to schedule appointments or to be able to select a doctor from their Oxford, FL location. It is probably an office staff problem, not the medical staff. But it caused me to go to a different company. I recommend Dr. Jeffrey R. Thill MD, 808 Highway 466, Lady Lake, FL,
352-751-0040

As someone that recently went thru 2 biopsy's and an MRI to determine if I have prostate cancer I can tell you DON'T TRUST THE MRI!!! I did a biopsy which showed a very small amount of prostate cancer on one of the samples. Had they taken a different angle or went slightly to the side of where they took that one sample I would have shown zero cancer cells. Well because the biopsy showed cancer I was told to do an MRI but was told MRIs aren't always accurate. The MRI showed a significant amount of cancer (supposedly) on the complete other side than the biopsy showed. Since that was odd, I had to go in for a more involved biopsy thru the perineum. That validated the original biopsy results and showed the MRI to be 100% incorrect. This was all done early this year at St Lukes in Pennsylvania prior to moving down. I'd trust a biopsy and would not trust an MRI.

I had used AUI for years but after several truly horrible experiences with them I looked around and found RBOI. It may be a little further but the difference in care, compassion, and professionalism has been night and day!
I no longer feel like a number and if I have a 9am appointment, I'm being looked at by 9am if not sooner.

My husband has been with Dr. Sher for several years. We have confidence in him and he communicates well.

Just started going there and so far, Dr. Sher has been good for me.

[dnobles]

Yes Run the opposite way fast. She diagnosed my husband with MS he has neuropathy. I’m adamant about that RUN

[JwizChick]

I was very pleased with Dr Sher’s professionalism and compassion. Being in the medical field myself, we discussed my situation and he agreed with my diagnosis without additional unnecessary tests that my symptoms did not warrant. I highly recommend him.

[mikempp]

Yes, all good, been with him for years.

Dr Sher is a he, you must have him confused with someone else.

[Foxmd]

I have been his patient for 10 years. He has been very nice and takes good care of me.

[dtennent]

I have seen Dr. Sher for the last 5 years and have found him to be very professional. He has taken the time to explain different options and leaves the decision to me. No matter what the subject is, he takes whatever time I need before I leave. I heartily recommend him.

He is excellent. Did my husbands prostatectomy and followed up well.

[ejp52]

Been a patient for 7-8 years,very pleased would recommend him. I never have had any issues with scheduling or staff.

[rogerk]

I have been a patient of AIU and Dr. Sher for over 10 years. IMO, They are excellent! Dr. Sher's thoroughness and attention to detail enabled him to discover my Prostate Cancer VERY early. The Doctors at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, were very impressed that he identified the cancer so early. It opened many treatment options, many of which had minimal side affects. Highly recommend the practice and Dr. Sher in particular. This is NOT a factory!
