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. Snyder is: competent, intelligent, punctual, professional, respectful, upstanding

Excellent patient care and service! I cannot say enough good things about this entire office and especially Dr. Chris. He’s my favorite doctor I’ve ever been to and I hope he never retires because I don’t want to go to anyone else!

This is the first doctor I’ve come across who didn’t overreact when I asked for a referral to get a second opinion. I ALWAYS get a second opinion on any diagnosis… not because I don’t trust doctors, but because I realize that doctors are just people like me and you and they come into their job with their own biases and preconceived notions of things and that’s not their fault, but it’s always going to color the way they see things. But this is the first time in over a decade that a doctor didn’t get completely upset when I asked for a referral to get a second opinion. If for that reason alone I have the utmost respect for this man.

When he’s available, but they randomly assign you to whoever’s around so you see someone different every visit it’s awful

We’ve been trying to contact the office because we’re waiting on some referrals well over a week. Every number that we found for him nobody answers. You get a recording stating that they aren’t taking any more messages, the mailbox is full. Time to find another doctor.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE ! – Aug 29, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Snyder?
Couldn't even get a visit! They wouldn't let me schedule an appointment until my insurance takes effect. (Feb 1) so I told them I still want to schedule an appointment and that I would pay cash if my insurance wasn't working (which it will) and they refused to let me make an appointment. Changing doctors right out of the gate. He seriously needs to reconsider who represents him when making the first impression on a new patient. These ladies are not competent. Even after I expressed my frustration (kindly) she asked her 'manager' and the manager said no too! I know A LOT of people and will certainly not be recommending this dr. office! I own 2 local businesses health related and I could have referred a lot of people.... their loss.

Both my daughter and I have been seeing Dr. Snyder and other doctors in the same office for over 5 year’s. I have never had any problems. The staff is very sweet and helpful. The doctors are patient and caring. They really pay attention to any concerns you have. I recommend any one who needs medical attention to visit Coachella Valley Care.

Level of care not what you’d expect. Phone calls never returned, Dr. walks out of your exam & doesn’t return, endless hold, office wait times, prescriptions not filled, etc. Find another provider.

One of the worst doctors I’ve seen. First, he was 35 minutes late. Gave me a diagnisis within 2 minutes. Flipped out when I asked him if he was sure. Did not want to listen to my concerns. Walked out before I was finished and said I should look it up. Does not have a humble, helpful spirit. He does not deserve any stars.
