This particular provider show no compassion, he came off on the route side, seem like he had an attitude when I would ask him a question. Will NOT be seeing this doctor again!

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.

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.
