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.

Knowledgeable,caring doctor.

I’ve only been seeing Dr. Schlessel for a short time but he’s been able to do more to help me than multiple healthcare providers (including rheumatologists) I’ve seen for years. Besides his expertise, he’s very tuned in to & respectful of what I want as a patient. I highly recommend him!

Had two appointments that were both on time and hardly any wait time. Dr. Schlessel was very impressive to me. He listened intently to what I had to say and his responses seemed to be right on and to the point. I never felt rushed. His nurse Patti always calls me back when I have questions. Highly Reccomend.
