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.

My dad is dying because of this guy.
If you want a doctor who rushes through appointments in 15 minutes or less and doesn’t give a care about you, look no further. My family just found out my father has lung cancer and if this guy had bothered to care about his patients, we could have gotten him diagnosed ages ago. But now we’re at stage 4, with less than a years’ outlook. Thanks Scott, I hope your life ends in great pain.

Been my doctor my whole life
I have seen him my whole life until recently. I just thought I was stuck with him. He has terrible bedside manor and doesn't listen or communicate very well either. My mom saw him about her anemia (which she's had her whole life). My mother is also a vegetarian because she can't stand the taste of meat. She does excellent research and finds foods rich in protein and iron. He said 'just eat a big juicy steak' and called her diet 'magical thinking'. Pathetic. A steak would make my mom extremely ill. Also when my mom did eat meat, she still had anemia. So that was rude. Also when I was a teen suffering with anxiety attacks, he had a conversation with my dad about how to discipline me better so I wouldn't have 'outbursts'. I was having panic attacks. Do your research on your doctors and don't go to a person like him.

Dr Schindell has been my primary care physician for a number of years. He listens to me and understands what he needs to know. I trust him completely and in all of my 78 years he is my most outstanding doctor. When necessary, he orders lab work or tests, or whatever else he realizes I need.
