Dr. Todd Sherman, MD
Dr. Sherman previously served as an educating cardiologist at UCLA School of Medicine until he began private practice.
He was one of the innovators of the angioscope while at the UCLA School of Medicine.
We are priviledged to have him in Bakersfield working with our patients and sharing his knowledge with our staff.
