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.

Very focused!
She got right to the problem of my pain, asked questions, and looked at the x-rays. She was very thorough, and was very knowledgeable on the subject.

Knowledgeable and informative
After 3 months physical therapy I returned to see my options for double meniscus tear, again I was told the same 2 options. But since physical therapy is doing some good, she assured me that it should continue to get better over time.It's nice to see a Dr that doesn't want to cut into you, unless she seen a real quick and guaranteed outcome!

Dr Schwindel
I went in for carpel tunnel evaluation and possible trigger finger. I had seen her a yr ago for this and chickened out. Got tired of dealing with it. She explained the surgery and put me at ease again!!! Before I left I had a surgery date. She is very personable and caring. Didn't have to wait long to see her. Did not have to repeat testing. I would highly recommend her.

Waste of four and a half hours.
Arrived at for Appointment at 2pm. Finally got called in around 3:15 had x-rays around 4 pm. The tech said the doctor will be in shortly. I left at 5 pm and never saw a doctor. A wasted 3 hours and an a one and a half hours drive to and from home. As I walked past the front desk and told them I was leaving the ladies didn’t to care one way or another. I suggest you Find a dr that respect you and your time.

While on vacation I slipped n fractured my tibia plateau, I went to ER in KC, they gave me a diagnosis and suggested I return home and make an appointment with a local Orthopedic Dr. Lake Cumberland Medical Orthopedics was suggested as was Dr Schwindel. I could not have been happier, she was thorough, gentle and told me exactly what the ER Dr diagnosed, this gave tremendous confidence and I knew I had found my Orthopedic Dr. Extremely happy!

Exceedingly kind
Dr. Schwindel treated my husband first for a broken arm. I was so impressed with the way she cared for him that I chose her for my bilateral knee replacement. She did an excellent job and I am now a year out with no problems. The only orthopedist in Somerset worth seeing.
