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.

Dr. Schneider stands out as one of the best providers I’ve seen. She is kind, compassionate, and makes you feel cared for. It can be hard to find providers whom you feel comfortable with and trust, but I trusted her and felt like I was in good hands almost immediately.

I saw Dr. Schneider once in 2016 when my primary care was booked for some pain I was having. She would only focus on the fact that I was overweight--I was 40 lbs overweight--and she asked me very rudely if I wanted information on bariatric surgery, which is highly irresponsible when you only weigh 200 lbs. I didn't feel listened to or cared for at all during the appointment.

I work in health care. This lady is a top notch doctor who is very thorough and patient focused. Best doctor I've had in my life. She does proper screening and tests that other doctors might not do. THIS CAN MEAN SAVING YOUR LIFE. I love her and sent my mamma to her. Unfortunatuely she got the right doctor too late or things might have been different.....Can I give this amazing woman 10 stars!!!
