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.

The most arrogant physician I’ve ever met
Dismissive, constant interrupter, totally condescending. Misses important details because he simply refuses to listen. The only less than stellar provider I had at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. Avoid if at all possible.

Was told Dr. Anschel specialized in my condition - adults with cerebral palsy. When I got to appointment, he said cp is not his field but the clinic saw a need for someone to handle that so they named him. Needless to say, the visit was more about us familiarizing him. Since then, I have left 5 messages over the past month because he did not even include a prescription refill, which was a major reason for the visit, but no one from his office has returned a call.
