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.

Awful
This doctor is a nightmare. Brought my son in for acute severe pain with no identifiable cause. After the negative assessment, with no appreciable cause of pain (for my 13 year old son) I asked what the plan should be if his severe pain did not go away. “Plan? …no plan. Some people can take the pain and some can’t.” I said he’s suffering and can’t walk through school due to how severe this pain is. Doc first insinuated that I was exaggerating and then turned to my son and said “I’m not going to write you a note so you can miss school. “ I informed him that of course that was not what we were seeking. Rather, we were seeking medical help for pain that was so severe and sudden that it scared us all, and inhibited my son’s ability to function. “You can’t even walk buddy? Is that right?” I have not ever experienced such ineptitude and insensitivity. Do not bring your child to see this sarcastic, dismissive, disrespectful doctor with dead eyes.

I would never recommend!
He was condescending! He was horrible with our 2 yr old! We had questions but he was leaving the exam room as we were asking the questions. We never experimented this health issue and had many questions. Dr Schneck was rude and very uncaring!

Dr. Schneck is a rare combination in medicine. He processes a bed side manner second to none. His command of his profession is more than obvious to even a lay person. His ability to deal with a medical problem with humor and medical facts in terms understood by all is refreshing, not to mention reassuring and comforting. He should know that my grandson came to his office nervous, distraught, and feeling nothing could be done for him. After our appointment all of that changed! Thank you
