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.

Outstanding
This Doctor unlike any other I have visited communicates with me HIMSELF on MyChart. Within a couple of hours he answers my questions HIMSELF! Not his PA or Nurse 2 days later. This is unheard of this day and age. He asks me “what are your thoughts”. Imagine that… The confidence this close correspondence provides is immeasurable. I get visits in a timely manner. His staff is courteous and pleasant. Don’t you wish all your doctors were like this ?

Worst Doctor I've ever seen
This guy couldn't have been worse. He used crude language (not that I'm a prude but I expect professionalism) and suggested my wife "stick a finger in my tushy" to solve a problem. Then he ordered a test he didn't explain and left the office for the day before I had my pants back on. His staff had NO IDEA what the test was so they gave me a specimen jar and I ended up bringing a load of semen to a lab and they had no idea what I was talking about. After I finally did do the test, I had NO FEEDBACK whatsoever from this Doctor. He also gave me a prostate exam so I would "Get my co-pay's worth." Stay FAR away.

Just tried to book an appointment for an office visit and this ancient dinosaur kept asking what address is on the back of my insurance card. Ok said there is no addresses just phone numbers. She was rude and proceeded to tell me how she’s done this for 30 years and don’t tell her how to do her job. Well, maybe it’s time for you to retire because your unwilling to listen at this point in your “career” and get nasty over the phone. There is no address you fossilized idiot. There are phone numbers you call for authorization and insurance confirmation. Were you going to ask permission via letter? Get with the times!! There have been numerous advances in communication since the letter! Too bad! Lost a customer due to an imbecile that couldn’t listen !

After suffering with pain for FIVE years I found DrSchoor. Not one of many doctors could figure out why I had continuous bladder pain. In one visit Dr. Schoor diagnosed me with interstitial cystitis and prescribed medication. Within 24 hrs my pain was gone, GONE! He goes above and beyond for his patients. Once I suffered a bladder infection while in Hawaii. I took a chance and called him. He called in a prescription to a local pharmacy. Who does that? I follow up with scheduled yearly visits and I continue to recommend his services.

Great doctor and staff. They got me an appointment for the next day. They make you feel very comfortable. Dr.Schoor is very knowledgeable and eased my stress.The wait was a little long but my appointment was last minute so that's on me.Most Urologist have a month wait.
