        LIFESAVER

        A nagging sore back was my introduction to renal cancer. Dr. Scherr calmed all my fears and took his time to answer every question I had when I felt my life flash by. I have never had to wait on the phone or in a waiting room. His staff is wonderful to me. This man is brilliant and I would do anything for him. He saved my life. Words can't convey what Dr. Scherr has done for me or my famiy. He has given me all of my tomorrows. I too am "his only patient". There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him and only wish he knows that he is my miracle. He is my lifesaver.
