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.

Poor judgment
Had a colonoscopy complication (aspirational vomit under anesthesia) which likely no one's fault. But failure to get to to ER or hospital after hours of not doing well in recovery room was significant error since my lungs were already compromised from another condition and I am 69. Even gave me option to go home with supervision which could have led to fatal emergency. When I decided on ER, confirmed I had aspirational pneumonia and hospitalized for week on oxygen, antibiotics. Essentially, I saved myself by going to hospital when condition undermined.

Excellent Doctor with an Excellent Team
Dr. Michael Schindler performed the colonoscopy. His team was Dr. Fuller the anesthesiologist, Nurses Carmella and Sono and the front desk Daniela and Raven. I also got help from Nelly, Keren and Anila. From the prep to the day of the procedure all of them were very professional, informative, caring, understanding, easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable as well as . I highly recommend Dr. Schindler and his team. They are truly excellent at each of their jobs.

I was referred to Dr. Schindler by Dr. Nancy Kator, my former Gyn. She couldn't have picked a better dr. My first visit there...he complemented the work that the surgeon had done in 1997, when I had my Colon / Cancer surgery. Most drs. will not do that. explains the process very well. I will definitely recommend Dr. Schindler, if some one needs a G. I. dr.

My husband sees Dr. Schindler. I've accomplanied him to three major procedures, and each time we've had a wait that ran 1 1/2 to 2 hours in the waiting room. Patients were stacked up like plans at O'Hare. Dr. Schindler seems to be an excellent doctor, but unless you enjoy cooling your heels in a waiting room for two hours after fasting for one or two days, I'd strongly recommend against this practice.
