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.

PTSD
I still have trouble looking at this man’s picture. The person who likened his attitude to condescending dr from 1960s is exactly right. I came to him with concerns about being unable to conceive. His response was give it more time and before walking out of the room, he cheerfully said “come see me when you’re pregnant!” It’s like he heard nothing. I switched doctors after that. Got an endometriosis diagnosis, received treatment and went on to conceive. This was several years ago and I’m still irked by him and his attitude. I guess it all worked out in the end.

I'm going to really miss Dr Snowden, he's a good doctor & explain my health problems when I talk to him. Some of the staff weren't friendly but I can deal with anyone, I just pray ???? & kept going.

Dr Snowden himself is a great doctor. However, the Front office sorority girls are too into themselves and not actually helping the customer. Been a patient for over 10 years. Hung up on numerous times and no help given. Will be switching doctors after this terrible experience with them

Doctor Snowden has now delivered all 3 of my babies. I can’t imagine another doctor caring for me during my pregnancies or delivering my babies. He is kind, caring, and respectful to me as his patient. Highly recommend.

Twice I was left in Dr. Snowden's exam room for over an hour while I was told he was delivering a baby and "would just be a minute" Last time I checked, it takes more than a minute to deliver a baby. He and his staff had no regard for my time. Also his condescending attitude was something out of the 1960's.

Dr. Snowden is very kind and knowledgeable. He makes you feel comfortable and discusses any questions in detail. The wait times are a bit long but when you're in there, he gives you the same attention and doesn't rush you.

Staff is rude and wait times are ridiculous. Even waiting for just a nurse is 30 minutes and then you are treated like a piece of meat. It's time for Dr. Snowden to retire his practice.
