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.

Dr. Mark Scheier MD is a gem!!
Dr. Mark Scheier is one of the best Doctors I've ever had. I've been going to him for over 20 years. The Doctor always takes the time and is patient to hear what your concerns are. He carefully assesses the situation, and is precise in diagnosing issues. His staff is also very kind and helpful, always making sure to double-check sometimes triple-check on things to make sure the doctor is looped in. Mr. Scheier is a fun, genuine, and professional doctor. His office has my highest recommendation!!

If I could give zero stars I would. This man is rude and size-ist. From day 1 he decided that nothing was wrong with me except my weight. He didn’t listen to me and he certainly didn’t help. The last time I reached out to him he actually hung up on me because I questioned him. If you’re a woman, he will not listen.

Dr. Scheier is a qualified doctor, straight forward, knowledgeable and indeed I recommend his expertise to anyone in search of a doctor in our around La Palma, Buena Park, Cypress, Cerritos, etc. He helped me manage my daily pain caused by this stupid Chiari Malformation I am stuck with. Oh, yay. Go see Dr. Scheire if he is accepting new patients!

After reading everyone's reviews after being a patient for him for 10 plus years I find it to be hilarious because even though he fits in some of those categories. The doctor's personality is definitely acquired an eclectic. That's what makes him amazing. He knows his business he's very in tuned with being a wonderful doctor if you expect the average Joe,don't come to this doctor.

His nurse is the rudest nastiest thing that ever walked this Earth. When I called just now I told her I can never get ahold of you guys and she got very moody very nasty and said I don't know their hours. I said excuse me I've been going to this doctor for a few years I know his hours. If this doctor keeps this nurse shes going to probably run every patient out of there. I will find out her name and post it at a later date.

The Dr. is very moody. Sometimes, he's in a good mood and happy to listen, but usually he won't make eye contact and stares at a computer screen as you explain why you came to see him. Office staff is hard to talk to, especially because there seems to be a significant disconnect in communication between Dr. Scheier and his staff. The staff will tell you that they'll do things or the Dr. will, but there's never any follow-through and they all get very angry when you're forced to follow up with them yourself to find out what's going on.

He was the rudest, nastiest doctor I have ever see. I have never experienced being treated so terribly by anyone in my 55 years of living. I would definitely NOT recommend anyone if color to have him as your doctor.
