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.

Over the past 25 years, have had occasion to see Dr. Schneider, and use her for our sons too. Recently she was able to fit me in for a painful injury but not emergency. She is always helpful, knowledgeable and accessible. Highly recommend her.

Dr. Schneider is the consummate physician. Her surgical skill is amazing. She LISTENS to my concerns and has given me great relief from my chronic pain, skillfully treating my problem (despite its being so rare she had never seen it before)! She gives me so much time when she is caring for me, totally focused on helping. And she is resourceful and thinks brilliantly while performing the needed procedure. I am grateful to be her patient.

I went to Dr. Schneider with severe shoulder pain and she ordered blood tests-MRI neck-neurologist who said shoulder & would not do nerve test so Dr. Schneider wanted me to another neurologist! She would not listen to me the patient who had previous rotator cuff surgery-would not listen to the level of pain! She said 'well I could go in & clean it up but I think it is the neck"-well guess what Dr. I am in need of a total shoulder replacement!! You ,wasted my time -energy and money!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS DOCTOR!!!

My appointment with Dr. Schneider was on time, and she is pretty efficient (not a bad thing) and seemed to know her stuff. However my charge for a low complexity appt, where I got a scrip to get an MRI, was approx $500 (plus $400 for the xray). They use billing codes for appointments so non-negotiable after the fact. So if you have a High Deductible plan you may want to check what the price will be if this aspect important to you - it might just be the going rate idk, but I was surprised.

Dr. Schneider has an extremenly incompetent and uncaring staff. I made a appointment 3 weeks in advance to see her. I was a new patient and wanted to confirm that she took my insurance. Her staff assured me she did. Less than 24 hours before the appointment I got a call that Dr. Schneider, in fact, did not take my insurance and they were canceling the appointment. All they could say was, sorry about that. I am in pain and need to see a doctor and waited three weeks for my appointment.

Dr. Schneider is an excellent, warm, and caring doctor who listened to my concerns and assisted me with my issues. She is very professional. However, her staff is not the same. Any time I called in an attempt to have issues regarding billing or insurance resolved, each staff provides a different response and is quite rude when I attempt to inform them of the information I received from the insurance company. The staff does not communicate well, instead they are snappy and impatient.

I have sent my family and friends to Dr.schneider. They returned to relate that she is a very professional and caring with all of them. On time with appintments , calls back to see how you are. And can diagnose other problems that are effecting a person . We need more doctors like this.

She was very thorough and patient. I had a somewhat displaced fracture in my shoulder and a torn rotator cuff and I had to decide whether or not to have surgery to repair them. She didn't pressure me to have the surgery, even though that's what she thought would be best. Instead she patiently answered all my questions and showed me my x-rays and explained her position. I ultimately decided to have the surgery and she did a wonderful job! I am recovering very well. I highly recommend her.

Excellent experience. Warm, friendly, genuinely interested in my symptoms, listened and asked questions. Answered questions and confirmed my understanding. Discussed plan and treatment options which we agreed to. Delightful experience and will absolutely recommend her to others. Also very much appreciated her showing me my X-rays and explaining what they showed. Very professional.
