Meet Dr. Sherif

Treat everyone you meet like you would like to be treated. This is my guiding principle. I consider every patient who walks through my door as a member of my family. I will offer the exact same medical advice to them as I would to my Mom, my Dad, my Sister, my Wife or my Daughter.

Ratings and Comments Powered by NRC Health

The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related question shown above from our internal platform, PMX Feedback. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. Scores reflect either the most recent 12 months of surveys or the most recent 30 surveys overall. Data is updated monthly and comments remain on the profile for 12 months.

Comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of Penn Medicine.

Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys.

Please contact the practice and/or the member services department of your insurance company for specific details before receiving services. Providers may participate in some, but not all, products offered by a health plan; providers may also accept plans at some practice locations but not others.
