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.

Total disregard for appt time !!!
Pack a snack and a good book. Just disregard time of appt because they surely will. You're going to be there 2.5 - 3.5 hours. His office is complete chaos, under staffed, and riddled with a palpable stress. If you survive with your wits about you, his PA will take good care of you.

Ridiculous wait times
First off-I really like Dr. Schuyler, he listens and more importantly makes me feel heard. The front office and Dr. Schuyler’s assistant Haley could not be nicer and more professional. I really like Haley and I think his name is Fredrick, but he’s the one who calls to confirm my appointments. He’s an incredibly nice guy. Unfortunately, in the past 6 months, something has gone horribly wrong with the scheduling. It is customary with every doctors office, not just Dr. Schuyler’s, that if a patient is 15 minutes late for an appointment, then the appointment is canceled and you will need to reschedule. It is becoming a common occurrence that I will have to wait to be seen for over an hour, today I waited for 2 and a half hours for an 8 minute appointment! That was on top of another 2 and a half round trip drive due to not being able to be seen at my normal location. A patient should not have to block out 5 hours of their day for a med refill appointment. That’s just plain disrespectful.

Nothing he tried worked
Severe neck arthritis. Tried corticoide steroid injections twice in CT and once here in SC. No help. Had a rhizotomy (they burn out the nerve sending the pain signal) and he missed the correct nerves. I paid cash for multiple procedures and wasted my money

Great experience!
After multiple visits to multiple doctors, Dr. Schuyler actually took the time to listen to me. He’s been attentive and takes the time to address the underlying problems. Most importantly, he got me out of pain and really made my life living with chronic pain much more tolerable. Quality of life is so much better thanks to Dr. Schuyler. The staff is also very helpful!

Dangerous! I am furious and doing something about him . I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE. I am filing papers against him for what he did not do , refused to do aa I write this. He's a jerk, irresponsible, refused to see me on emergent basis let his rude nurse tell me keep my appointment almost 3 weeks later. Something bad happens to me? I've informed my brother to sue him , its THAT SERIOUS...Pain Care Management of Charleston has heard about his reckless remarks he made about a good Dr there . What a horrible arrogant human being who chose to" keep the Hippocratic Oath ". That's for doctors UNLIKE him

Dr Schuyler always listened to me and my daughter. I had a spinal nerve STIMULAR put in my back and have almost no pain since. He was the best!! The only one that actually listened to me.

Like some others have stated, he was also my doctor at Pain Specialist Of Charleston and I was truly sorry to see him leave to start his own practice. I have seen many neurologists and pain specialists over the last 20 years and he was by far the most attentive and concerned of all of them. He would do whatever was necessary to control your pain, within legal limits of course. If he ever comes back to North Charleston, I will switch back to him in a heart beat.

I was seen on time Dr Schuyler made a best case diagnosis and sent me for MRI’s of my neck and back. They came back showing significant osteoarthritis in both. I had steroid injections (under sedation,which was helpful) and it was done under fluoroscopy. I received excellent relief from my pain symptoms and was able to start taking my aerobic dance classes again. Great doctor!

The first time you see him, he will act very concerned. That is the last time he will listen to you. You will be shuffled off to the PA, even when they tell you that your appointment is with the doctor.
