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.

Best doctor I have been to in my 83 years.
He is thorough, visits are not rushed, and he explains conditions in a caring compassionate way.

I have been a patient of Dr. Schaer for over 30 years and I can without a doubt say that he saved my life. He is exceptional in his thoroughness, attention to detail and his explanation of diagnosis, as well as a very caring bedside manner which you see very rarely these days. I have maintained my good health under his care and give him the highest recommendation should you ever need a cardiologist.

Dr. Schaer's careful examination and interpretation of test results combined with his expertise saved my husband's life. He is my cardiologist as well. His approach should be a role model for all cardiologists.

Dr. Schaer recently performed a cauterization on me and found a 95% blocked artery. He professionally and accurately inserted a stent and the artery was 100% clear. I was awake during entire procedure and was comfortable and relaxed throughout. Dr.Schaer explained every move he was during during procedure and constantly asking about my comfort level. A marvelous cardiologist in which I would not have any reservation to recommend to others. JH
