As a physician myself, I would like to praise Dr. Schneider's knowledge, judgement and communication skills. I had recently been diagnosed with a herniated disc and had been advised to have emergent surgery by another physician. Dr. Schneider expedited my evaluation and recommended against surgery. Six weeks after my diagnosis, I am pain free and have resumed exercise. Dr. Schneider even had specific recommendations for an ongoing exercise regimen. His office staff is courteous and waiting times were minimal. I highly recommend his practice.
