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.

Great Dr very knowledgeable and explains so patient can understand what’s going on he is great!

I have been a patient of Dr Schnell since 2009 after another GI doctor perforated my esophagus. He always has taken excellent care care of me and listens when I am explaining an issue. I have had several EGDs now and all have gone well with no side effects. Excellent physician! Just wish he was still practicing out of the Summerville office!

Dr. Schnell is an excellent physician in the field of gastroenterology. He has performed two endoscopies with great results. The procedure was painless, and I had no side effects. I highly recommend his professionalism. I also value the skilled nurses and other medical staff at Palmetto Digestive.

I had been having chest/acid reflux issues that were awful. 6 months of tests and different doctors and my issues were still a mystery. I began to think I was going crazy and maybe it was all in my head. I was referred to Dr. Schnell threw my PCP. I went in he took one look at me had a idea of what it was, scheduled some tests and with in a few days I was diagnosed with a hiatial hernia. HE was an amazing dr in every way possible! I highly recommend him to anyone!
