Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctor Snell is fantastic
I've been going to Dr. Snell for years. He has always diagnosed correctly and has given me the right treatment every time. His bedside manners are excellent, and he genuinely cares about my wellbeing. I would highly recommend Dr. Snell.

He's been my dr for 20 years.
I've known Dr. Snell for 20yrs, and I trust him with my life, as well as the people who I love. He listens to you, takes you seriously, is completely honest, and will give you his honest opinion. He really cares about you, and wants to see you healthy and happy. He came to see me on Christmas one time, when I was in Allegheny General Hospital, from a problem that happened at another hospital. I've had a lot of health problems over the past 20+ years, and have met many doctors... most of them mediocre or worse. He's definitely one of the good ones.

Dr. Snell has treated everyone in my family. I would and have recommended him to many people. He is personable and takes the time to explain his diagnosis and answer all questions.

Dr. Snell is by far the most genuine, caring, knowledgeable orthopedic doctor. He is a rarity in a healthcare business that a lot of times looses sight of the patient as a person. Dr. Snell takes the time to listen and is so encouraging. I wish there were more doctors like him.

Dr. Edward Snell takes the time to actually listen to what I have to say; he takes it seriously; and he also orders the necessary tests. He demonstrates a compassionate conservative approach by not recommending a med &/or treatment just because it's the commonly accepted solution. Dr. Snell is trustworthy & absolutely wonderful. His staff if great too. They are very courteous when approaching you from the waiting area. They respond to calls in ample amount of time. Very satisfied.

Valencia, PA – Jun 25, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Snell?
Dr. Snell diagnosed my problem and got the process going to fix it when nobody else could! I had been to two other sports medicine type physicians both of whom had completely misdiagnosed my issue. Instead, Dr Snell listened to what I said and took it seriously and ordered the necessary tests which showed that I had a hip problem (piriformis syndrome) rather than a back problem. He also demonstrated that he supports conservative, non-surgical approaches to treatment whenever possible.

Dr. Snell is absolutely wonderful. He listens to his patients. He is comprehensive in the testing he does without going overboard. He treats his patients with respect and refers you to the best specialist if needed.
