Dr. John Timothy Sherwood, MD

Highly approachable and excellent communicator. Office staff are professional.

Dr. Sherwood is not only a great surgeon, he takes care of the whole patient. When I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia, Dr. Sherwood generously spent more than an hour explaining to me and my wife what was wrong and how surgery would fix the problem. He explained in great detail every aspect of what this entailed. Fixing the problem is an understatement. The surgery changed my life! When the surgery took more time than was expected, he made sure that my wife was fully informed by the surgical team and knew that everything was okay. My recovery was great and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Sherwood cares about more than "body parts" -- he cares about his patients AND their families.

In 2015, Doctor Sherwood performed a rib resection on me at Mary Washington Hospital. He cut an inch out of two of my ribs and left sharp jagged edges on my rib bones. He left the cut through ribs unattached and floating freely in my body which leaves me in great pain all the time. He also punctured my lung during the procedure. I do not recommend this doctor.

I work with Dr. Sherwood. I have worked with many physicians over the years and few care as much about their patients as Dr. Sherwood does. He wants his patients to be educated, healthy and treated in a timely and cost-effective manner. While there are many things beyond his control with insurance and scheduling, he does his part to help his patients. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing thoracic services and i would DEFINITELY select him as my provider if I were in need of his specialty.

I would like to thank Dr Sherwood for his expertise in his field. The first time I meet him I knew I was in excellent hands. Thank you for all you have done.

Six years later! Surviving Stage llla lung cancer - thanks to Dr Sherwood and his team!

DR Sherwood his staff as good as it gets. JOHN HAYES

Feb. 23, 2006 he performed an esophagectomy on me at Hopkins, after seeing me cold in Nov 2005 due to insurance issues at Mayo. The fact that I am writing this 13 years later is a testament to his skills. His skills as a human being may even exceed his professional skills. Highly recommended.

I do not recommend Dr. Sherwood. He performed a rib resection on me and left sharp edges on my rib bones. He also punctured my lung. I do not think he is a good doctor.

Always late for appointments, tending too "other" emergencies. When it came down to my mother's surgery (stage 1) lung cancer. After several preliminary tests before moving forward - at time of surgery he was not able to complete. My mother has been in severe pain since. On top of having to go thru chemo/radiation treatments to ward off cancer. The pain left over from the surgery very severe and she has not recovered.

I have not had surgery since I was 16. I am 61 and was petrified. Met Dr Sherwood and he took the time to explain everything, all options, and by the time I left the office I was very comfortable with the upcoming surgery. If I could write pages and pages, I would. His staff is so friendly, professional and caring, I do not have a single complaint from my first visit through how I was treated in the hospital, and aftercare/follow up. I saw him everyday that I was in the hospital. I'll take a moment here to say that I was extremely pleased with the staff at the hospital too (Mary Washington). I would not go to anyone else for surgery. Dr Sherwood is such a professional caring doctor. I consider myself very fortunate to have been sent to him. An amazing person!

Dr. Sherwood is so compassionate. He is patient, friendly, concerned with all aspects of ones treatment. Never in a hurry and will show so much concern for the patient and the patient's family. I love him!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Sherwood, his staff & Mary Washington Hospital. I would highly recommend him!

He's my #1, best surgeon and staff, couldn't ask for better people. I highly recommend him!

Doctor Sherwood performed a rib resection on me and left the rib bones he cut through unconnected and some with sharp edges. I can no longer lay on my side and am in grave pain all the time.

Dr Sherwood is by far the best doctor I have ever experienced. He is caring, very smart, and has one of the lowest complication rates of any thoracic surgeon in the country (based on my research). He saved my life and cured me of my lung cancer. I will never forget him.
