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.

First visit
Dr. Schwendeman took his time and automatically made me feel comfortable. He explained what was causing my pain and what the most likely resolution would be, also discussed after care as well. I am so glad that I chose Dr Schwendeman. Staff member, Tiffany was also very personable and professional, as well as reception staff. It was an informative appointment. Believe fully in Dr Schwendeman, trust in diagnosis, and most likely will follow advice and care recommendations. Will be able to fully commit based on future test findings.

This was a follow up appointment for a trigger finger in my right hand, i did receive a steroid injection 6 weeks prior to this visit with very good results. Dr Schwendeman is always on time, very pleasant and personable and. an excellent surgeon who many years ago removed a glomus tumor under a finger nail in my left hand with excellent results.
