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.

Dr. Schoephoerster was our family physician until we moved away in 1998. Happy to see him in practice in Columbia now. Will be seeking him as our primary again. Wonderful person.

Excellent Care
Dr Schoephoerster makes you feel like you are his only patient when you see him. He is patient, kind and explains everything so that you understand. Hi nurse Leslie reflects this as well. Feel very fortunate to have gotten him as my primary Dr.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Schoephoerster's for a few years now. I have had few doctors who have been as compassionate and listening as well as he does. We are happy with the information that Dr. Schoephoerster provides, the research he follows up on when we have questions, and just the time he spends with us.

We have had Dr Paul as our family doctor for many years. He has treated our grandson, our daughter, us and my elderly parents. He is respectful, knowledgeable, really listens to concerns and offers real world advice. A good clinician with a gentle bedside manner. We love him.
