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.

Dr Schneider is always so easy to talk to and he listens to all questions that I have. He takes time to answer any concerns and offers solutions to improve my back pain. I would highly recommend Dr Schneider to any one having back pain.

Very good doctor I think but his bedside manner is poor.

A key purpose to my call was the review of my recent spine MRIs, which was done but in a cursory manner. I was referred to a spasticity management person at Stallworth, but the doctor didn't know exactly what my visit there would entail.
