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.

Can I put a zero- no stars ?? Dr is in a clinic, and his peer sent me to him. I have a complicated issue combining spinal and limb pain. The spinal DR sent me to him for my elbow . During my initial consultation which admittedly was long the Dr interrupts me and states he doesn’t have time to hear me out . I stated I thought I was paying for his time and he emphasized he did not have the time. That is unprofessional and arrogant . Nothing was resolved and I walked out. Try Dr Broyles instead.

He was dismissive and unprofessional. Will never use the bone and joint clinic again due to this doctor

I have never experienced such unprofessionalism and anger by a Physician. Dr Schroeder, 1st visit. I have several orthopedic issues concurrently. I was at the Clinic for another issue the previous day and that Dr's PA was trying to get me in to see Dr Schroeder, while I was already there and in severe pain. An Office person replied "NO Insurance will cover 2 different specialist visits in the same day". That did not sound right to me, but I made an appointment the following day. IN the meantime, I called my insurance and learned that the is NO LIMIT on the # of specialists I can see in a Day, it's "not a thing". I merely brought up an inaccuracy to the Doctor, I had a transcript of the call and a number for him (or someone) to call to verify, if they wished to do so. I was told by the Doctor that "I can Leave, any treatments stopped, he acted like a spoiled little child." People of BTR, you have a choice in your healthcare; don't waste your time on Clinics that don't respect patients.

I had chronic pain and impingement in my shoulder for a about a year. After seeing Dr. Schroeder several times, trying steroid injections and PT for several months without much improvement and worsening my neck issues, he felt that surgery would be best to treat the inflammation and pain and open up the joint area as well as look for any other issues. I'm still doing PT but have greatly improved and still improving. I feel completely comfortable expressing any and all issues with Dr. Schroeder.

Dr. Schroeder has helped me through two shoulder injuries. The first one 5 years ago was due to a gym injury, which required surgery for a torn labrum. The second injury to my right shoulder resulted from a car accident, which was further torn from a 120 pound Rottweiler on his leash, leading to a torn rotator cuff. I must say both surgeries went very well and his surgical staff were amazing!!! I would highly recommend him to others and I am so thankful to be back in the gym at almost 100%

Thank you for your kind words.

I have had issues with my left shoulder for a number of years. I have seen Dr. Schroeder several times over the years and have had steroid injections and PT several times, with varying degrees of success. Dr. Schroeder said that he felt that surgery could provide relief and that surgery would also allow him to see inside the joint area for a more complete diagnosis. After consultation I decided to have the surgery which was extremely successful. I give Dr. Schroeder and the surgery team a 10
