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.

Beyond Terrible
Working in healthcare 15+ years never have I ever been so neglected by a provider. 37 werks pregnant lack of vitamins, anemic needing iron transfusions and literally keep passing out leaking fluid and having contractions this provider could care less. Clearly only in the profession for money extremely argumentative with lying staff who told me come to the office hooked me up to machines rushed back into my room to tell me to get to the hospital just for Dr.Snipe to cause me a high level of stress screaming on me while being a high risk saying the staff said I refused to see the NP who actually never came into my room at all and I never denied seeing. There's an lpn at tandem obgyn named Terry very nasty who blatantly told me doctor snipe said there's nothing they can do and to just take a pad and monitor the fluid leaking from home in my third trimester and that am I done telling her my symptoms because she has other patients to see. Told her that's very rude and unprofessional

Dr. Snipe wrongfully diagnosed me with gestational diabetes. No one informed me that I should have stopped taking my prescription steroid before my glucose test, or that I should have rescheduled. Because of the medication, I failed the fasting glucose test. When I realized why I failed, I asked to re-test, but Dr. Snipe refused to allow me to, told me that would not have caused my elevated glucose, and wanted to continue to treat me for a condition that I do not have. I switched OB offices and was able to confirm that I do not have gestational diabetes. A re-test of my fasting glucose without the predisone in my system proved to be 30 points lower. Well within the range of passing. I can continue with my normal pregnancy without any unnecessary worry. I will not recommend Dr Snipe to anyone, and when they mention Tandem as an option for their prenatal care, I always let them know how Dr. Snipe treated me.
