Here's what our members are saying ...
"It has been wonderful to work with Michelle! She is a great resource of information when I put patients on complicated drug regimens or when patients have questions about their medications. She has done research on various herbal and nutritional supplements and their interactions with HIV medications. She has been instrumental in getting patients to understand the importance of adherence, when other providers have failed.
Michelle is enthusiastic, approachable and truly devoted to our patients. She is a respected expert in the field of HIV, and has been teaching in various clinics and pharmacies throughout California about HIV treatment and its complicating illnesses. "
"
Laura Salazar, MD, AAHIVS
"I am person who has been HIV+ since 1991. I have been taking prescription medications for the treatment of it since then. The constantly changing medication therapies require a pharmacist who is experienced and knowledgeable. Michelle Sherman is the best example of a pharmacist who is both. I have known and trusted Michelle for many years. I believe in her experience and expertise. I am not just a customer who needs prescriptions filled. I am a real person living with HIV. As a man living with HIV for almost 20 years, my commitment is not to any specific retail pharmacy, it is to Michelle Sherman the pharmacist."

 "Michelle Sherman is known as an HIV pharmacy expert throughout southern California. I have had the pleasure of working with her for over a decade in multiple settings: specialty pharmacies, academic and public health clinics, and the lecture hall. She has counseled many of my patients regarding their medications, especially regarding adherence and the use of alternative herbal remedies.
Through her advocacy and compassion, she has earned the respect of the community. Michelle organizes educational lectures for providers and is a popular speaker herself. Whenever I have a question regarding HIV drug interactions and safety, Michelle is the first person I call. The patients and physicians of Orange County are fortunate to have her as a resource.
