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.

We will not be going back...
Dr. Schelhass exhibits a concerning pattern of failing to fulfill commitments, resulting in significant lapses in patient care. Despite assurances to provide crucial documentation and follow up on delegated tasks, she repeatedly neglects these responsibilities and shifts blame onto others. Furthermore, her unprofessional conduct during consultations, including unfounded accusations and dismissive gestures (rolling eyes, scoffing, throwing hands in the air), creates a hostile environment for discussing patient needs. It is evident that Dr. Schelhass lacks accountability and fails to prioritize the well-being of her patients, instead opting to scapegoat caregivers and deflect attention from her own shortcomings. These persistent issues raise serious doubts about her suitability as a healthcare provider.

I have been seeing her for about 7 years and I can say she is an amazing doctor who listens and is open to explore what options work best for each situation. I like that she is willing to discuss holistic options as well. My only consistent frustration has been scheduling but that is usually a good sign that she is in high demand.

I am writing this to hopefully save other Senior Citizens from the same horror I experienced, as a direct result of Dr. Schelhass's care. I have a Thyroid condition. I went to said Dr. and told her I was feeling anxious. Instead of checking my Thyroid, she instead started me on Lorazapam, an anti anxiety medication. To make a very long sad story short.. she finally did check my Thyroid.. and it was out of whack. In the meantime, I had a serious reaction to the Lorazapam.

Dr Schelhaas is a kind, concerned professional who listens to her patients and is open to holistic options for care. It is always nice to find a doctor who considers options and lets the patient be involved in decisions for their own care.

I have. Even seeing Dr. Schelhaas for 6 years. Her wait times can be a bit long, but I know this is because she is taking all the necessary time with her patients. I like that about her and don't mind waiting my turn. She has worked great with my therapist and other mental health providers. She does not recommend tests you do not want and explains whether or not a test is necessary. Understands the costs patients have and tries to help you save where possible. Very compassionate. Great team.
