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.
Michael Schindel was my mother's doctor.
Very self centered, snobby, constantly lecturing everyone around.
Absolutely heartless.
Highly do not reccomend.

Irregardless of negative results from imaging exams including a P.E.T scan, the net step in his plan was to perform a biopsy. Then by his own words, even if the biopsy proved to be non-malignant, he planned on removing a portion of my lung "just to be certain." GIVE ME A BREAK, and the name of a more qualified, trustworthy physician! If there was a less than one star review, in my opinion, he'd qualify!

Terrible bedside manner when dealing with a 20 year old. Pompous and arrogant would be the words I would use to best describe his mannerism. In addition, he has no tact or empathy. Seemed rush and thought his time was more important and this was because we were kind enough to reschedule with him after learning he needed to be elsewhere during our initial appointment. Did not take much time with patient and was quite condescending. Would NOT recommend.

Dr. Schindel is a very bright, proactive doctor that takes the time to get to know his patients, their history and develops a treatment plan just for you - he also adjusts as needed. I highly recommend Dr. Schindel.
