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.

He was an absolute self centered jerk. I have occipital neuralgia and small seizures, no epilepsy, and he told me not to worry, he would take care of me. I won’t go into all the stupid things this doctor did, but the last straw was because I was on medicine for my seizures that required you to see your doctor every six months. He wasn’t doing this and I asked my pharmacist about it and he was very upset and said I had to see the doctor. When I saw the doctor, he told me he didn’t think I needed it anymore and refused to refill my prescription. I went to my primary doctor that afternoon and got my prescription filled, a new doctors name, and my doctor was not happy with him at all!

Dr. Schecter is great. He listens and seems to genuinely care about his patients. My migraines have been much better since seeking treatment from Dr. Schecter.

He was very rude and asked me why I was there after having a TIA 2 months prior. I advised him that was how long it took to get in with him. He right away said it was not a TIA and it was just a migraine. I have a cyst on the back of my brain and asked him about that and he stated I was just special. He looked at my 18 year old daughter like she was my mom and said she did not have a TIA. I could tell more but not enough room to type. We went to another neuro and actually getting the answers now

Dr. Schecter has what my husband said is the God complex. Was referred to him by my primary for chronic migraines. He didn’t even let me finish what I was saying before he had diagnosed me in less than 3 minutes and wanted to cut my migraines pills in half. Told me first it was rebound headaches, then turned around and said it was my occipital nerve. Then proceeds to tell me he’s been a doctor for 30 years. Got mad at me and said he wouldn’t treat me if I basically didn’t do what he said.

Dr. Schecter was very rude, arrogant and seemed irritated that he had to take a couple of seconds to consult with the Practitioner- Jennifer McDonald. Ms. McDonald was very compassionate, thorough and seemed to really care. The rest of the staff was also kind and efficient. I would not recommend this doctor.
