Dr. Stephen Snyder, MD

Dr Snyder is everything you hope a Dr could be; kind, compassionate, caring, and an expert in his field.

Dr. Stephen Snyder is an extremely caring, dedicated and compassate physician, not to mention brilliant surgeon. My greatest concern is that one day he will decide to take a well deserved retirement, but I try not to think about that day.

I felt very comfortable and confident that I found the most caring physician at the first time I met him. I find him to be a kind and compassionate physician with a great deal of experience and knowledge. I highly recommend him.

In my experience, every staff member and medical practitioner with some hand in supporting Dr Snyder's work, whether security guard, covid screener, scheduler (All hail, Latonya!), nurse, Xray technician, doctor, or website monitor, reflects Dr Snyder's own values and standards. They are, as he is, kind, courteous, competent, and patient. They look you in the eye when speaking to you. They listen well to your questions, worries and concerns --and to those of your caregiver. They respond with sympathy. They're never dismissive. They're never condescending to patients or caregivers. What an amazing place. What an amazing man. Huh? I didn't mention that? Sorry, thought I did, but yeah, my post-op shoulder is a lot better. Thanks for asking.

Dr. Snyder and his team provided excellent care. From my first consultation to my recovery. He and his team are amazing! Nice, empathetic and clear about the procedure and expectations. He is a pioneer in the field and I feel lucky that he performed my rotator cuff surgery.

Dr. Snyder fixed my left rotator cuff 9 years ago and it is by far the best joint in my body. No pain, full movement and strength. So when my right one started giving me problems, it was a "no brainer." Dr. Snyder is always friendly and confident, taking his time to explain what's going on in your shoulder and the pathway to repair and healing. It's a tough surgery and the post-surgery process is pretty in-depth, so he and his staff's attentiveness and support are very important! I love the daily check-in app they've added to the process. The pre-op checklist was very helpful and the post-op videos and explainers were a great tool as well. I'm weeks into my recovery and I'm feeling really great, done with the pain meds, doing the daily exercises they recommend and looking forward to starting Physical Therapy in 5 weeks. If you have shoulder issues, you owe it to yourself to see Dr. Snyder. He and his staff will take great care of you!

Dr. Stephen Snyder was recommended to me by my highly regarded primary care physician. From my 1st visit, I was impressed with Dr. Snyder. He was thorough in explaining my physical issues and the pros &cons of surgery.He gave me 3 extra appts before I decided to have surgery. Throughout all, Dr. Snyder - and his office assistant, have been most responsive to all my needs- and continue to be as I recover from surgery.

Dr. Snyder is one of the most compassionate doctors I have been to. He takes his time with you and you feel like he is concerned about you and not rushing off to the next room. He, La Tanya and his Surgery Center team at SCOI were terrific!

Excellent care! Dr Snyder is wonderful! I would recommend him to anyone facing shoulder issues.

Dr. Snyder and his staff are knowledgeable, professional and kind. He now has repaired both of my rotator cuffs and the one he fixed years ago is going strong and the newest one is healing nicely. Remember, though, to ask what the maximum dose of pain meds for you are allowed. A miscommunication on that score left me pretty uncomfortable for the first couple days. Ask about maximum allowed dose of Ibuprofen! Norco! Zofran (if nausea is an issue for you!) ice machine! This may have been entirely my mistake but it’s worth addressing prior to operation. Dr. Snyder and his staff went above and beyond to make me comfortable, keep me informed and respond to any needs or questions I had or continue to have. Terrific experience!

I had my shoulder surgery done by Dr. Snyder. He is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I am very satisfied with the results, and highly recommend Dr. Snyder.

Best out there! Very caring and professional.

Dr Snyder and team have treated me with the utmost care and compassion. Never in a rush and took the time to make sure I understood everything going on from start to recovery. I’ve been to him twice now, once for a frozen shoulder and now for a torn rotator cuff. I highly recommend him.

This is may second procedure and is going extremely well. My other shoulder works great!

Everything went fantastic. Very friendly Doctor and staff. Dr. Snyder is an amazing and skilled surgeon. In addition to performing great surgical skills, I received daily check ins to monitor my recovery. I would and have recommended him to others.

Dr. Snyder is the best. Been a patient of SCOI for many many years. Unfortunately sinceUCLA has gotten involved the costs have gotten much higher!

Dr. Snyder and his team are fantastic start to finish! My shoulder surgery went seamlessly and I am so thankful that I chose SCOI to fix me up.

He is so knowledgeable and kind. I felt like I was being cared for by a close family member. This is the first time in almost 2 years that I am feeling only mild pain. Questions are answered completely and with a detailed explanation that I can easily understand. From my very first visit I felt extreme confidence in Dr Snyder and all his staff.

Doctor Snyder is the best shoulder surgeon there is. I just recommended him a new patient today.

He’s simply the best, better than all the rest
