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.

This office is excellent! From the front staff to the back office. Always easy to make an appointment and I never have to wait too long. I’ve been seeing Dr. Schoonmaker for years and I love how he makes time to hear my symptoms and concerns before making a diagnosis. He always makes sure I understand his diagnosis.

I have been seeing Dr. Schoonmaker, and I like him. I feel that he answers questions and is not in a hurry. Perhaps I get there at a time when he is not busy, but I have never felt rushed by him. I would highly recommend, and I have, to others.

I’ve been seeing Dr John for five years and he’s an incredibly caring provider, and the entire team is very supportive. The entire team (nurses, front office, etc) are genuine, caring, competent, and sharp, and I always feel supported and prioritized as a patient. Could not ask for a better primary care provider.
