Center For Cough2018-11-08 16:50:092018-11-08 16:50:09Constant Throat Clearing: More Common Among Men Than Women?
Dr. Mandel SherDr. Mandel Sher is passionate about helping patients get the most out of their lives. That is why he is leading a national conversation on chronic cough – an unmet medical need that affects more than 1 out of 10 adults, but is little understood, inaccurately diagnosed, and under-treated.
Dr. Sher founded Center for Cough in 2009 after 25 years of diagnosing and effectively treating patients who coughed repeatedly and who had been referred to him by their doctor. His national and international peers recognize Dr. Sher as a cough expert. He is a frequent lecturer and contributor to clinical and scientific forums on the subject. As part of his commitment to advance the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of chronic cough, Center for Cough participates in clinical research trials of investigational cough medications seeking FDA approval.
“This Center for Cough is where I am going for my chronic cough I have had for Years! I had been sleeping in a recliner for years and now I have been able to finally sleep in the bed without feeling like I was choking to death and coughing! Dr. SHER is awesome and he has a great staff of wonderful, friendly, Very Efficient people! I highly recommend him and his cough center! 10 star rating!”
“I no longer have the constant coughing or the constant clearing of the throat. Not coughing all the time is a big deal. Dr. Sher has made a big difference in my quality of life.”
“I’ve been fortunate not to have a chronic cough but twice suffered acute coughs that would not go away with various treatments from other physicians. Dr. Sher took care of those coughs both times, quickly and successfully. He is a kind and caring physician with a great mind. I hope he doesn’t retire until I’m no longer on this earth!”
“I’d been to a number of physicians who had not been able to help me in any way. Within one week, I saw a vast difference. If you just do what your doctor tells you to do, you’ll be fine with Dr. Sher.”
“Dr. Sher has helped us more than once with very thorough explanations and good remedies. We follow his advice and always benefit from his suggestions. He has his patient’s good health at the heart of his practice.”
“Dr. Sher took the time to make sure that the treatment he was recommending would not only fix the problem but not cause anthing else. Dr. Sher is very intelligent and knowledgeable and it really comes across when he deals with a patient.”
“The repetition was unnerving. He sounded unhealthy. I was worried for my husband, and it was aggravating for me. After one visit with Dr. Mandel Sher at Center for Cough, the change in Tom’s condition was immediate and so satisfying.”
“I highly recommend that anyone who has had a chronic cough must visit Dr. Sher. I have had a cough for over 20 years. We are not sure how or why it all started. Dr. Sher was the first doctor that nailed it for me. I have been to allergists, ear nose and throat, general practitioners, had numerous pictures of my lungs showing no issues…” View On Ucomparehealthcare.com >
“After more than 10 years with a cough Dr. Sher helped me lose it. I had been to every kind of medical doctor and alternative therapy imaginable with no results. But now I’m cough free.”
“I suffered for nearly a year with a chronic cough. Spent $$$ seeing numerous different specialist who has no answers for me but just kept prescribing different meds. One even suggested pretty drastic sinus surgery. Finally a pulmonologist I saw made an offhand reference to the Center for Cough. I looked it up and made an appointment to see Dr Sher even though he was six hours away from my home. After some tests and an initial consultation, he changed my inhaler medication and I was fully recovered in a week. That was three years ago. I have been cough and medication free since. For me, he was a God-send. I think his success stems from the fact that he is a practicing physician but retains the heart of a researcher who strives to understand the actual underlying nature of his patients’ illness and thereby treat them appropriately, unlike the cast majority of doctors today who simply follow the doctor playbook.”
“Caring compassionate physician using his expertise every day. He gets rid of the cough! Thank you Dr Sher.”
“I went to see Dr.Sher about 4 years ago with a chronic cough I got from radiation in 2001 my cough is awful and it is a very hard cough he has tried so many things and if it didn’t work he tell me don’t give up on me I still have other things I’m working will he did he is involved in a research program that they have a pill they are testing it is a very big success in Europe and I was the first patient to try it and it works when I was on the pill I did not cough I was so happy as he said from the start don’t give up on me and I didn’t is only the drug company could work faster I am not on the program now the next survey doesn’t start until January of 2017 every time I go and see him I ask him where is my pill I think he is the best I have been to so many doctors since 2001 and they all told me there is nothing they can do and I would have to live with the cough but Dr. Sher never gave up on me he keeps looking for something to help me .i think he is the greatest I even made him a t-shirt that says bow ties are cool it also has a bow tie I embroider it thanks Dr.Sher for everything you are doing for me.”
“A fantastic doctor! I highly recommend Dr. Mandel Sher.”
“I’ve had a chronic cough for over 12 years and have finally found a doctor who has diagnosed it correctly and whose treatment protocol has reduced my coughing spells by at least 50% in just one month. I’ve been approved to participate in one of the cough studies that Dr. Sher is involved in and I’m so excited and hopeful that I’ll continue to do better and better. Thank you Dr. Sher and your wonderful compassionate staff!!!”
“Just finished a trial for a new cough medicine – Great experience and the medicine really helped.”
“Doc, You are the best!”
“Having moved from NY to Florida was a huge transition. I have allergies , asthma and chronic lung issues. It was not until I saw Dr. Sher that I had a definitive diagnosis .Dr. Sher is steeped in research , academia and is so current. I have been trying to get a diagnosis since 2009. Office staff kind, efficient and responsive . I feel safe in their care. 10 stars!!!”
“I had coughed for 9 months straight – coughing to the point of throwing up 8-10 times per day. After 2 general Dr, and an ENT, I went to the Center for Cough and was diagnosed as above (nothing in tests showed up anything). After a dose of steroids, the chlorpheniramine is all I take and I have been cough free since 2 days after my appointment. I am living proof that this works!”
“Dr Sher has been my doctor for years…… He has helped me immensely thru the years. He is thoughtful, intelligent and truly dedicated to his practice and to the desire to get you well and living the best healthy quality that works for you. His office staff is just as dedicated and thoughtful as Dr. Sher. If I could have only one Dr treat me for all my medical conditions it would be Dr. Sher . He has a great team/staff glad I found them!”
“Dr. Mandel and his staff are wonderful. If you have a chronic cough, this is the place.”
“I am not surprised !(that Dr. Sher is the ONLY Allergy, Asthma, and Cough Physician Specialist in Pinellas County selected by his physician peers as 2016 Best Doctor)
Dr. Sher was the ONLY doctor I’ve seen to figure out the cause of and what to do about my constant problem with stuffiness and constant coughing. I believe in him 100%!
I went to every specialist I thought might help me to no avail. Then I met Dr. Sher. Oh my goodness! After 4 years of coughing, I had a visit with Dr. Sher and almost immediately my cough was gone. I sure do wish it hadn’t taken me so long to find him. Thanks Dr. Sher
Great Place. No kidding Dr. Sher and his staff saved my life. I had a cough for well over 10 years. I came to see him and in 1 visit he had it nailed. I’m so lucky to have met Dr. Sher And his staff

Kudos to Dr. Sher and his staff. BTW, his office staff is very friendly and helpful, especially his wonderful wife.”

They were very professional and treated us as if we were their only patient. The staff restored my belief in great customer service. Dr. Sher did not rush my time with him and he explained everything to me. I can say after 20 years trying to figure out my issue, Dr. Sher was able to. I would recommend Dr. Sher and his staff.”

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience at Dr. Sher’s office. Over the phone, I never felt rushed as I chatted about my symptoms. At check in I was met with smiling greeters who didn’t make me feel like an interruption to their very busy day. Dr. Sher was ever so patient and thorough with me. The nursing staff, extremely compassionate. Turns out it was nothing to worry about. For thorough, compassionate care, this is the place.”

I was on 12 prescription meds with ZERO improvement. Dr. Sher has saved my life! I no longer need a laundry list of meds or to spend every day off in a doctor’s office. I finally have a normal life without a hacking cough, exhaustion, embarrassment & constant disruption to everyone around me. Everyone there is great!”
