  • “I have found the staff and Doctor Schneider to be helpful, professional, and friendly. I was in a vulnerable position, and the doctor and staff helped with diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up paperwork in a timely manner. I was hurt on Christmas Eve and needed my short-term disability paperwork turned in and found a staff named Remy to be very helpful. Thank you again to the team.”
