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.

Uveitis treatment
Dr. Shneider was quick to return my call and see me after an acute vision change. She quickly diagnosed and successfully treated severe infections of both eyes. Her office staff and ophthalmology techs are always so thoughtful, respectful, & professional. So grateful for all they've done for me and my eyes.

Dr Schneider…..professional, efficient, personal!
I am a first time patient with Dr Schneider. It was a huge relief to find an Ophthalmologist that would actually ask me questions, and allow me the same courtesy. She was very thorough in her exam. Multiple examination technology was utilized in allowing her to present sound and practical options for my eye care. Her staff is extremely courteous and welcoming.

Highly recommended. Give it 10 stars!!!
Dr Schneider makes you feel so comfortable and is so easy to talk to. She Explains all your concerns in a gentle and easy to understand way. She Takes the time with you and does not rush through your visits. She is very professional and uses the latest and the finest equipment available for her patients so you know you are in the best place to get the latest and most perfect testing results. Everything is so clean in her office and the testing areas. Equipment is pre cleaned before each patient to use. I really like that! Truly their cleanliness is Superior than some hospitals and many clinics. My eyes are very important (I am 80) and I have put all my trust in Dr Ellen Schneider! She is the BEST.
