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.

Great doctor!!! Her office staff are great also!! Starts with the least invasive treatments first. Overall wonderful attitude toward her patients and their well being.

Dr. Schalow is one of the most competent and caring physicians that I have known. It was a pleasure being treated by her and her amazing staff. The air that the office exudes is one of a humanistic and deep heartfelt desire to bring about healing and recovery to those who have suffered chiro-orthopedic injuries. I would not hesitate for even an instant to recommend her to my family, friends and any others needing a superb hand specialist.

Dr Schalow and her staff made everything so easy. She, as well as her staff were very caring. They made sure I was aware of the things that had to be done leading up to, and after the surgery. I can't say enough good things about this Dr. and her staff.

Dr. Schalow was fabulous. When discussing treatment options, she was very clear in presenting the options and discussing it with me. She was friendly and courteous. I would recommend her.
