Byron J. Schneider MD

I was there for a procedure. Although the outcome was fine, my experience during the procedure was not good. I was in pain and do not feel that the provider adequately prepared me for nor managed that. It was very upsetting. He never asked me if I was ok. He spoke about me, rather than to me saying things like she doesn't like that indicating that he understood that I was in pain.

Dr. Schneider was the only physician at Vandy who was rushed and he mentioned he had to stay on track to see his expected number of patients. Technically good; needs some assistance on his EQ

Both doctors today are at the top of their class! They represent everything a patient could hope for and wish for, but sadly, don't usually find. These two met every expectation and exceeded them as well. I am so grateful for this visit their humility, humanity, and kindness or second to none.

He was dismissive the moment he walked into the exam room

This provider made me feel like I was wasting his time. He advised me that the appointment referral was to discuss the procedure for cement placement for fracture back which he stated he was not for nor against and that he does not do this procedure and would refer me to provider that did. This provider would not answer any questions I had about my injuries including could my chest pain be related to a fractured vertebra. He made me feel that a 61 year old female with severe osteoporosis was faking or that he didn't know why I needed to be seen. He made me feel like a fraud and that I was over reacting. Not once did I feel any compassion or concerns for my recovery. He did not want to recommend any continued care as in PT further imaging. I am a nurse and show kindness and compassion to every patient as if they were my own family.

My provider was excellent, knowledgeable and caring. He listened and was genuine in his concern for my well- being.

The student was very good but the doctor didn't spend a lot of time with me or give in-depth explanation of his diagnosis or how to move forward. He just said that since my back wasn't hurting that specific day to come back when it was hurting, depsite my having back pain for over a decade. Since I'm young he didn't seem very concerned with me at all.

It was clear that he had no interest in treating me because I'm not a candidate for his procedures. I had to demand imaging to see what is wrong, I had to advocate for myself to even see if oral medications would benefit me. Again clearly only wants patients to do procedures on. Very disappointing I'll be looking for another physician after my imaging comes in. He made me feel like he did not care.

The doctor was running late which I do not mind at all, waited 45 minutes for one of the Fellows to come in and apologize the provider was late, he assessed me, no problem with that. The doctor came in and really didn't give me any information on why I am having pain even a idk would of been better than nothing, always another medication to start taking on top of what I am taking. I voiced my concerns about another medication and all I got in response is if you don't like it stop taking it. I understand providers get busy, but Vanderbilts Credo is Quality over Quantity. Was not my best experience, especially someone with chronic pain. He is not a bad provider he seems like he may of had an overbooked or long day.
