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.

Six years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was mourning the loss of my mother and had no mental capacity to deal with my medical crisis. Dr. Schnabel was a gift from a Angel above. I immediately trusted her and it paid off. My experience with her was flawless, the surgery was a success and all pre surgery procedures were without any issues. Her office and the department runs like a well oil machine. I will always be grateful for Dr. Schnabel, she is a blessing from above.

20 years ago she encouraged me to have a lumpectomy, not a double mastectomy, which I wanted. She removed my cancer and I have remained disease free for 20 years. I travel from out of state to see her every year. I trusted her with my life 2 decades ago and totally trust her today.
