In my honest opinion, I can't really say anything good or bad. Because this is the only doctor that is willing to go deeper to see what is actually going on with me regardless if he believes me or not. But if you're looking for a doctor to express empathy, this might not be the person because he did not have any expression of empaty or concern. But I'm very thankful that. He is willing to go another step to see what is going on with my health. Being the several other doctors decided to write me off without doing further examination.

I found him to be dismissive of my concern. Numbness in one's toes may be common to others but it was jarring to me. He asked me multiple times what my endgame was.

Dr Schneider seemed dismissive of my condition, like he was annoyed with me at times, and generally like he was having a bad day.

My Dr was very cold. He almost seemed aggravated I was there. He did not show concern or bothered to directly answer questions. He spoke in riddles and I am an RN. So, I cannot imagine what a lay person gets from what he says. It was a very bizarre experience. I will do the PT and take the meds but if I have to follow up I will make an appt with a different physician which is a shame as continuity of care is important. He also said at one point I was not asking the right questions or not asking them correctly. He was very condescending and I was disappointed in the whole experience on top of receiving info about a new dx and could not even get my questions answered appropriately after waiting all that time.
