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.

Best Dr EVER!
Have been with him for about 25 years. He thinks outside the box. Don't know what I would do if he ever retires!

Rude, privileged man who lacks empathy
Dr. Schellenberg lacks compassion and empathy. It’s clear that he either does not respect or understand the ripple effect certain medical conditions can have on people’s lives who have not been afforded the same advantages and opportunities as he has. He’s passive aggressive and classist.

Somewhat aloof, types notes constantly throughout the appointment. Shifts a lot of responsibility to his physician assistant.
