Patient Reviews

The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Schneider.

“Dr. Schneider is compassionate and thorough. Although his Catskill practice is hectic, I didn’t feel rushed at all. I have dealt with other doctors in this practice and didn’t receive the same thoughtful care. Especially when I was in horrible pain, I will continue to go to Dr. Schneider and recommend him to others. Not so much for the last Dr. and saw and his secretary.”

“I recently had an appointment with Dr. Schneider in the Catskill office. Everyone I met with was courteous, friendly, and very helpful. My time spent with Dr. Schneider was an excellent experience. Dr. Schneider was also very friendly and courteous. The best part for me was the fact that he listened intently as I described my issue and to what I was saying. I did not feel rushed and he explained, in detail, to me my situation, his diagnosis, and "our" plan to help me. Knowing his time is valuable as well as limited, it was refreshing to have him take his time talking with me. I highly recommend Dr. Schneider and his staff.”

“Many people have recommended Dr.Schneider to me when my daughter who is three years old fractured the growth plate in her elbow, Dr. Schneider cast her right away recorded all of our visits to make sure everything got documented correctly. Dr. Schneider put her in a cast for three weeks and wasn’t 100% sure to take her out so he kept her in for another two weeks to make sure it would heal because he knew she was a little daredevil and didn’t want her to reinjure it. He took full precaution and got to know my daughter, I would recommend him immensely.”

She was there for a follow up after an emergency room visit and was very nervous about being hurt while they touched her. They were unbelievable gentle with her and were so upbeat and silly; they had her laughing. They even “treated” her stuffed animal. Thank you all so much for a job well done!”
