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.

He is a wonderful doctor, very concerned about my health and I wouldn’t even consider a different gastrointestinal doctor.

Excellent and Caring
My husband and I have gone to Dr. Schlacter many years for routine maintenance care. He is personable, knowledgeable, caring, and a good listener about any concerns. When we were looking for a good gastro doctor, all our nurse friends recommended him.

I don't know who those other reviewers saw...but it definitely wasn't Dr. Schlachter. I have been a patient of Dr. S. for 18 years. He is the kindest, most considerate, knowledgeable doctor I have ever known. He gives his 100% attention to any issues I have. His bedside manner is wonderful. I would highly recommend him. He cares deeply for his patients.

Horrible Experience. This doctor was so rude. He wouldn’t even let me finish my sentences. He was condescending, dismissive, and rushed me through my appointment. The office staff is very rude and patients can never get through on the telephone. You always have to leave a message and hope it is returned. I have even seen patients come into the office because their telephone calls weren’t returned. ’m going t go to a different doctor in a different practice.

I hate to rate doctor, because ive only seen him once. however, his staff is outright rude and unprofessional. I had to sit and listen for 2 hours, one of the girls make phone calls to patients rescheduling them. each time she hung up, she called them names, complained and ridiculed them. it was very uncomfortable. I will tell him if he calls me back with test result. apparently these docs reschedule people all the time and patients are frustrated. she should be in the medical profession.
