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.

I would definitely recommend him!
He performed a spinal fusion on me in 2012, and he did a great job!

Excellent Surgeon
Not only did I work for Dr. Schinco but he also did my husbands spinal fusion with excellent results. He is also now treating me as well. His bedside manner is amazing and I would not recommend anyone else.

Excellent Neurosurgeon
I have known Dr. Schinco since 2009, when he did my decompression and laminectomy for Chiari Malformation. He is one of the most knowledgeable, caring and empathetic physicians I have ever met. He is so welcoming to my husband whenever he comes with me to appointments. He explains everything thoroughly. He does not force anything on you, letting you make up your mind about the treatment recommended. Each year, if I have pain or concerns, he meets with me and orders MRIs to make sure everything is still ok. He has sent me to physical therapy at my request. I have been so blessed to have him as my neurosurgeon.

Dr. Schinco is the best in his specialty. I've worked with a few of the neurosurgeons in this area and chose him for my husband's back surgery. First surgery helped, second surgery was the magic ticket. My husband is back to full strength and working after being off for over 2 years with debilitating pain. Highly recommend Dr. Schinco. He teaches lifestyle modifications that are pertinent to rehabilitation.
