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.

2 minutes agoNewJust graduated from SGF today. Highly recommend Dr.Schnell! She genuinely listened to all my concerns when i came to her desperate for help after a very hard infertility journey. She addressed the situation perfectly and went through all the adequate steps that were fit uniquely to my situation and here we are 10 weeks pregnant. May God Bless Dr.Schnell and all staff at SGF. Thank you for making a difference in the world and helping families have the opportunity to grow.

Ethical and Effective
I had interviewed other clinics and felt most comfortable with Dr. Schnell. I believe she truly cares for her patients and their potential babies or growing families. We are now blessed with our healthy happy children. Mary Ann and the clinicalResearch team were super helpful and respectful. I would participate again. Prayers answered!

Great experience with Shady Grove staff
Started seeing Dr Schnell. She seems to be very knowledgeable and really takes the time to go over things. The staff in Shady Grove is amazing and very efficient. My patient service coordinator is Rakiyac, I’ve had a wonderful experience with her thus far. She basically reviews everything the doctor recommended for me and breaks it down step by step for me. Rakiyac makes sure I understand everything and she’s very welcoming to me asking her many questions. I’ve called her a few times and she is always responsive and makes sure to go over everything in a very thorough manner. Rakiyac is also very smart about scheduling my appointments, to save me multiple trips to the doctor she makes sure to schedule my lab review appointment for example after all the lab tests and procedure reports are available so the doctor can go over everything all in one go, which was great!

Success the first time
We were told not to get our hopes up the fist time we’re went through IVF because the average success takes three tries. I was blessed with a healthy baby boy on our first try. He’s now 22 years old.

Fertility Doctor you want to see
We have been with Dr. Schnell since 2014. She is very personable, honest, and absolutely amazing. She is very professional and does everything possible to help couples achieve their dream of having a family. We are so lucky to have Dr. Schnell in our lives.

I had the worst experience in my life with this doctor. She talks too fast, talks over you, doesn’t listen or responds to your questions. She made my husband and I waste over 2 hours in her office for nothing. She prescribed me over $150 in pills to help with my fertility issues for absolutely NOTHING. It was money thrown away. Not only she didn’t check if it helped but she didn’t care, since she decided I should look into an egg donor. So why would she make me spend that money on making my eggs

Dr. Schnell is brilliant, but a little scatter-brained, talks too fast, and is never on time. This was a huge problem for my husband who works on commission and can't leave work for long periods of time (we usually would wait an hour to be seen). We also felt that her advice against multiple embryo transfer was dead wrong...it turns out we lost one, and may not be pregnant today if we accepted single embryo transfer. She made us feel ridiculous just for requesting this. But...we are pregnant.

My OB referred me to Dr. Schnell after concerns that I had not conceived at my age. My first appointment was in January of 2017. After several appointments and a few surgeries, I can happily say that I had my first positive pregnancy test in January 2018! I would highly recommend Dr. Schnell and the Beaumont team to anyone who has struggled with conceiving. The staff is amazing, caring, and very understanding. Thank you, Corm! The Henry’s

Dr. Schnell and her staff (the nurses, admin, and ultrasound techs) are not only amazing at what they so selflessly do, but are the greatest people that I have ever met. I enjoyed each visit and the opportunity to see the friends that made each visit so warm and welcoming.. (Everyone there). Be patient and trust the great people at CORM. Without a doubt, if you are intent to have a baby, they can support you emotionally and physically to make it happen for you too. - Sheree Crosby

My only advice is don't be afraid to ask questions! I consider myself fairly educated, but some infertility lingo still went above my head. I asked and they explained- easy concept. I am happy to say that after 3 years of infertility, I am 16 weeks pregnant with one round of IVF thanks to Dr. Schnell and her great staff!

I have a very healthy 4 year old daughter thanks to Dr. Schnell and her staff. I had actually been referred to another Dr. in Houston but was unhappy with the unnecessary course of action that was going to cost me thousands of dollars. I had a couple of friends who were successful with Dr. Schnell so I made an appointment. She was direct with treatment and it saved me thousands. Her staff was professional but friendly. I have recommended her to many others who were also successful.

Thanks to Dr. Schnell we now have a healthy 6 week old baby boy! From start to finish this was the best decision we made. After trying to conceive for almost 5 years, we decided to give IUI and IVF a try. Dr. Schnell explained everything to us and guided us down the right path to conceiving our 2nd baby. Our 8 year old son is so ecstatic about finally having a baby brother and we couldn't be more thankful!! The staff was always friendly and they always took care of us!! Our Family is Complete

She did an excellent job with my lap surgery. However, she didn't talk about the recovery time after surgery and the realistic nature of the process. She overestimated our chances of success with IVF, and the IVF process often felt chaotic under her care. She also doesn't know about certain techniques for male factor difficulties and had to go look up whether certain protocols had research backing during our aptmt. She is great if you don't have male factor or if you're younger.
