Dr. David Schneider, MD

For several years, Dr. Schneider was fantastic. Then his workflow changed to complete nonsense. He now refuses to order labs before your visit. Instead, lab testing is done on the way out. That means that when you have your extremely short consultation, he has no data. Then, when he gets your results later, he makes unilateral decisions. The patient is cut out of healthcare decisions, has no opportunity to ask questions and may never get an explanation of what's going on. At most, you may get a call from an unqualified clerk who half-heartedly tries to convey something they don't understand out of Dr. Schneider's notes. This is nearly worthless 'health care'.I've also been told by staff that I 'can't be trusted to keep (my) appointment'. I've NEVER missed or been late for an appointment. I was also temporarily 'fired' as a patient by a staff who passed mangled information to Dr. Schneider when I was simply seeking an appointment. That should have been my sign to bail out.

I have been seeing Dr. Schneider for several years now. Initially, he seemed very kind and compassionate. The last several visits, however, he was practically pushing me out the door as soon as the appointment started. I would not recommend him if you're looking for a provider who genuinely cares about your health. In addition, there is such high turnover with his office staff, which is concerning.

For the very first time visit, I expected Dr Schneider to be more thorough. I brought with me, health records from my Oncology Clinic, but Dr Schneider didn't even take time to discus the blood work results.

Makes me wonder if he is a real doctor. He walks into the room with his laptop and a list of specialists to refer you to. ALL HE DOES IS REFER!!! Stay away and get yourself a real doctor. Dont give this man your money!!

My father was a patient of Dr. Schneider's for a few years. My father is in his 60's and wasn't really caring for his diabetes 2 properly. My father said that Schneider would tell him things like "well, your numbers are very high and if I didn't know you (your fluctuating numbers?) I'd admit you to the hospital." Not till about two months later I learned just how uneducated my dad really was about his diabetes. My father had an accident and was admitted to the hospital where they held him for a week in ICU pretty much due to his crazy high numbers. My father, thank God, suffered no kidney damage. I have switched doctors to his associate Dr. Colon and we now receive much better care. If you aren't there to impress on your patients the severe effects of not caring for themselves, what are you there for? I now assist my father with his medical care and I have serious concerns about a general practitioner's office that seems so blase about COVID procedures for at risk patients.

Dr. David Schneider is very friendly and has an outstanding caring manner. He is one of the best Family physicians in the San Marcos area. He is very thorough in his work and does an excellent job of reiterating at end of visit so there's no confusion. I would definitely recommend him as your Primary care physician. He is excellent in patient care.

Very quick-got right in and out for the appointment. Doc Schneider was right on target w/ diagnosis and helped me get the correct specialist for proper treatment. I highly recommend this guy!

Doc Schneider is one of the best doctors I've seen. He's knowledgable, professional, thorough, caring and personable. Going to see him is like visiting an expert friend about a problem. The staff is also excellent, friendly and very accomodating. I'll continue to see Dr. Schneider knowing I've got a really great medical professional on my side !

Dr Schneider medical assistants and administration are all very professional and very personal.

Dr Schneider takes care of our whole family! He and the nurses and office staff are caring and kind, and it’s so reassuring to know that when we leave an office visit-we will feel better soon! Shawna P.

Very likely I would recommend Dr. Schneider to family and / or friends.

Dr. Schneider himself is okay. I felt rushed through both of my appointments with him but that's fine at this points because I will not be returning to his office. The office person named Erica is condescending, rude, and utterly unhelpful. I will be changing my primary care physician due to her complete lack of concern for the patients and her apparent attitude problem.

Dr.Schneider is a very caring he listens to you and gives you excellent medical advice. I trust him with my care.

So genuine and sincere in discussing issues.

Dr. Schnieder is a totally competent physician. We can depend on him to be knowledgeable about any problem that we have. His office is friendly and efficient.

Very caring doctor who actually listens to you. Takes time to go over things with you. Visits are never rushed. Office staff is always welcoming and helpful.

I find Dr. Schneider very informative and easy to talk with about any issue. He is timely and follows up with his staff on my medical needs from prescriptions to lab tests. He also understands the high cost of medical care and does his best to assist with advice on prescriptions, etc.

I didn't really see Dr. Schneider but did see is nurse. Was on time and in and out quickly.
