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 must first say that the doctor is really great and caring. This review applies to the care received by this doctor. As for tamika, my experience with her has been awful each time by phone text and person well accept for one time when the doctor was present she had no choice but to be polite. This woman is so hateful Anrgy and condescending and basically a woman with sadness she calls herself dadiminishindiva on Facebook.i wish I could post all at once but I can’t will say more next time

The doctor himself is really professional and really caring however tamika! That woman has been difficult from the first time I walked into the office.i don’t like speaking to her by phone because she makes it seem like I am yelling at her when I am clearly not. Speaks when I’m speaking which is rude when I continue to speak she says I’m yelling. I have never yelled at her. She’s very searcastic with me. I asked Am I still u dee doctor care? Why wouldn’t you be under doctors care? She anawered.

Visiting Dr. Jeffrey Schildhorn was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had visiting a health care doctor! His diagnosis and recommendations were clear and he answered all questions I had in detail. Dr. Schildhorn repaired my knee. He had the time to professionally explain to me everything connected with my procedure before and after surgery and his office staff was very friendly and helpful, especially Tamika. I highly recommend Dr. Schildhorn for any orthopedic procedures.

Dr. Schildhorn is the best! I came in after a sub-par experience with another physician, so I was hesitant that I'd have a similar experience with Dr. Schildhorn but that was not the case at all. His bedside manner is amazing - he is patient and knowledgable, friendly and supportive. He calmly talked me through all the information regarding my injury and treatment options, all while taking into consideration my personal preferences. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

If you are wheelchair bound don't go to dr schilthorn. My 99 year old mother had to take a service elevator down to an alley then go into the building and take another elevator up to the office. On the way out the elevator broke and we were trapped in the reception area for 1 1/2 hours while they repaired the elevator. There are no ramps and 10 steps at the entrance. The doorman and handy man will not touch the wheelchair. I wonder what would happen if there was a fire.

Dr. Schildhorn provides the highest level of care . He is devoted to excellence in his surgery, communication, and follow-up. My only concern is that now I will never find another doctor as good.

Dr Schildhorn is an outstanding professional with excellent bedside manner. I was in an emergency situation with a very complex fracture. Dr Schildhorn performed my complicated surgery which required 2 plates and 13 screws. on a weekend. He handled my case with a high degree of precision, competence and phenomenal bedside manner. I have had excellent, very conscientious follow-up. HIs office staff is also very attentive, courteous and prompt. I highly recommend Dr Schildhorn.

Ignored my pain. No x-rays. 1.5 years later I'm diagnosed with hip dysplasia. Find a doc who cares enough to not cut corners.

Dr. Schildhorn is an amazing Dr and Professional human being. He went beyond what any other Dr has done for me. Such a breath of fresh air to find a surgeon who is truly dedicated to the patient and their well being. I can't say enough great things about him. I would not recommend anyone else to my friends.
