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.

Diagnosis without an exam?
Recently had a visit with Dr Snyder regarding my knee. Had X-rays done from the nurses, the doc then came in and within a few minutes, and barely touching my knee that was in pain and felt unstable, proceeded to his diagnosis. Now I’m no orthopedic surgeon, but at a bare minimum, I would assume you would do a physical exam on BOTH knees to understand the patients normal range comparing the good to the bad. He didn’t even touch my other good knee. His exam on my bad knee consisted of barely a prod, with ZERO testing of the basics:Three special tests for the knee are: Lachman's test: Tests for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tearAnterior drawer test: Tests for an ACL tearPivot shift test: Tests for an ACL tearHis diagnosis?? Arthritis. My background: 50yo high level cyclist, sports medicine background with elite coaching. Needless to say, it was very clear Snyder has no clue on various levels, I would be very hesitant to trust a doc like this for your surgery.

Just a number.
The appointment with well until I met Dr. Snyder. I told him my symptoms. He looked at my knees. Then got me out the door. Lack of empathy and the amount of awkward silences were ridiculous. I shouldn’t have told him I was in the military.. Dude was just like “what’s wrong, ok sure.. try this bye.” Kind of attitude. Sorry I inconvenienced you.

Office visit
First I was put in a storage room—lots of stacked up chairs surrounding me. Dr. has no bedside manner, very disrespectful. His suggested for my knees was a pair of socks. I would give him a 1/2 star if possible for recommending the socks. Veterans beware of this particular doctor.

This is by far the most efficient medical facility I have ever visited. The staff is courteous and thorough, and Dr. Snyder took the time to go over my status, recommend preventive actions, and answer my questions. Top notch practice!

Dr. Snyder exceeded our expectations. My now 5 year old son, had broken his arm last year, so we’d gone through this before. The true care and expertise that Dr. Snyder provided was excellent. He spent plenty of time answering questions and I could tell he really had my sons best interest at heart. I highly recommend him, though I hope we don’t have to personally use him again!
