Andrea Gail Scherer, MD

BigKahunaPalm

Andrea Scherer, MD was my 17-year-old son’s neurosurgeon, and she performed a decompression surgery due to a Chiari Malformation I. The decompression caused a nearly catastrophic syringomyelia and a 31 degree scoliosis. Dr. Scherer is truly gifted, not only in terms of her medical expertise and education but also in terms of her communication skills and presence. Her presence exuded confidence from the moment we first met her and throughout the entire surgical process. My only advice for parents is (1) don’t listen to your child’s pediatrician (PCP) that scoliosis is “normal” and “nothing to worry about”; (2) go to Nemours; and if you need a neurosurgeon (3) ask for Dr. Andrea Scherer.
