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 Schooley is caring and empathetic with a good bedside manner!??

He and his staff have lied to me 6 time over a 3 week period. The latest lie was sending me to get a CT scan without ever sending a referral to Healthspring. IT WAS A TOTAL WASTE OF MY DAY. Plus they haven't set up a pain clinic appointment when they were supposed to. They have a total disregard for their patients and are incompetent. There is no way I would let this doctor operate on my neck. A total waste of 6 weeks

I SAW DR SCHOOLEY IN OR ABOUT 2000, ABOUT MY BACK & MY NECK, HE EXPLAINED WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO FIRST & IF THAT COURSE OF TREATMENT DIDN’T WORK, WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT AN ALTERNATE COURSE OF TREATMENT. HE WOUND UP HAVING TO DO 4BACK SURGERIES, & 2 NECK SURGERIES. HE WAS VERY HONEST & UP FRONT ABOUT EVERYTHING. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A 50/50 CHANCE IT WOULD HELP ME. I THINK HE’S A GREAT DOCTOR & WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND HIM TO ANYBODY.

Dr. William Schooley is a great doctor and a very nice individual. I have been going to Dr. Schooley since January of 1998. I was so thankful to have Dr. Schooley as my doctor because he never gave up on me. I had several operation on my head because of brain tumor and I have a shunt. Once the shunt starting removing to extra fluid I had on the brain, things started to get better and I do have great respect for Dr. William Schooley and his staff. Dr. Schooley is a great doctor.

I waited 6 weeks for an appt. with Dr. Schooley. He barely gave me 5 minutes of his time during my appt. He gave me no specific diagnosis, course of treatment, or other options. I found him to be very arrogant and apathetic. I called his office to express my dissatisfaction and was assured Dr. Schooley would be very upset and would call me back. It has now been 3 weeks with no call! Maybe it's just me but I want a doctor who genuinely cares about his patients and that was not Dr. Schooley.
