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 Dr. I have ever had.

Dr. Schindler is fantastic. I am currently a medical student, and his care has influenced me to consider going into a primary care specialty myself. He is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain things and hear my concerns. I fully trust his clinical judgment and highly recommend his care. Making appointments is always hassle free, and office staff members are very friendly.

I have been a patient of Dr Schindler approx 12 years. Wait time is minimal and he and his staff are spot on. I feel blessed to be a patient at the age of 84.

Dr Schindler has been our family doctor for 2 years now. I've always found him to be reliable, helpful, and informative. I appreciate the fact that he listens to what I think the problem might be and he's not opposed to answering questions. His staff is always friendly and caring as well. Highly recommend!

I would never recommend anyone go to Dr Schindler. He isn't a kind or compassionate person, stay away from him if possible. I wouldn't trust him to care for anyone. stay away!

Dr. Schindler has time to converse with you, not hurry to get you out. He has done real well by me. My Heart Dr. is 51 miles from my home, but I like him & I trust him. That's how it is With me & Dr. Schindler.

I have been taking my grand daughter to Dr Schindler for 5 years now. He used to be in White Pine. I absolutely love him. Hes not the type of doctor that instantly prescribes drugs. If there is anything natural, thats what he suggests.
