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. Schiff was amazing!!
He explained everything to me very clearly and laid out a treatment plan and next steps so I understood.

Finally a diagnosis!
Dr. Schiff’s team took X-ray views my GP did not and I was able to see exactly what was going on with my spine and giving me two plus years of chronic lower back pain. Dr. Schiff explained everything well and gave me a full treatment plan along with different options I could try.

Smart and Experienced
Dr Schiff found things several other orthopedists missed. He covered all the bases and understands the health insurance game. I happily drive past a lot of orthopedic offices to get to him.

Dr. Schiff is an outstanding doctor!
Dr. Schiff is very professional, thorough, has a great personality, but above all, is highly skillful in doing spine injections and procedures. I came to Dr. Schiff after a horrible experience with spine injections at Resurgens where I had the most pain in my life when they did the injections. Over the past 4 years, Dr. Schiff has done 9 procedures on my back. All with ZERO pain. I have had multiple lumbar disk injections, facet joint injections, facet join RFAs, and SI joint injections. During the procedures he lets you know exactly what he is doing and makes sure everything is good with you. He has done an outstanding job on all of the procedures. I would not let any other doctor do the procedures on me. He is the best.

extremely thorough
Dr. Schiff always takes his patients with a clean, fresh view, no matter how many other doctors may have seen or treated them before. I value that very highly. He sees each person individually, and considers him/her as such, with careful consideration and physical, hands-on examination. He is not afraid to disagree with another physician, even if within his own practice group. Plus, he is an excellent physician. As a former medical case manager, I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Schiff and see patient outcomes--again, I found him to be an excellent physician. That's why I selected him to be mine.

The walking felt amazing
1st, off I caught the elevator from the 1st floor to the 7th floor. I had no idea what to expect. Upon my arrival, the experience was amazing. The saff from the front door, all the way to the back was the greatest experience, ever walking into a doctor's office. This location gave me the experience, and knowledge about my injuries and x-rays. Dr. Schiff covered everything, that was needed to help me get healthy and to recover. Dr. Schiff also encouraged me to lose some more weight. I love the positive energy and Dr. Schiff's office is the best.

We were very impressed with Dr Schiff.
Everyone that we spoke with within this practice was great with the exception of the person taking the intake questions once I was back in the room. Her attitude was bad enough I actually considered leaving. She even wrote the information down wrong in the records. With that said once Dr Schiff came in with his assistant for the day he totally redeemed the entire practice. I guess the first lady was just having a bad day because Dr Schiff went up and above in our opinions. He was very attentive, listened, took notes, was very thorough. I'm glad we stayed. It was worth it once we got to the doctor. And that's the main person anyway.

Went in for mid back pain. Very much appreciated his no drug, no surgical initial approach. Physical therapy was recommended based upon my x-rays, to which I feel is the correct course of action. Too many times doctors will try and rush you into surgery when there are often other options available.

Excellent visit from the front COVID screener, front desk, Dr. Schiff’s nurse and of course Dr. Schiff. Spent ample time with me and listened to my issues. He could tell I was in pain and offered a number of reasonable solutions, including nutrition based options. Surgery was not the first choice, which I appreciated very much. I really appreciate his professional expertise and am glad he’s leading the effort to help restore my back function.
