I told him a few times I have been in pain for mths and he never offered to call anything in for me which I thought was odd. The doctor is supposed to be attentive to the needs of the patient and he wasn’t. He was a nice person but didn’t go the extra mile.

Hands down best experience I’ve had with Dr. and staff. I am fairly young, super active, and seldom go to the Doc but have lived with a legitimate back injury for a while. From diagnosis to resolution, everything was super efficient and I’m now about a month away from getting back at it following surgery. This experience has renewed my faith in the process.

Jul-2023
Came to the practice due to back pain for over 10 years. I was not a candidate for surgery but was supposed to have a call back for a lumbar injection… never called. Was supposed to have a prescription filled, never filled it. Felt like because I was not a candidate for surgery, they didn’t put any further effort in. Found another Dr who is now treating the problem and working to help improve my health and mobility.

Dr. Schell is an amazing surgeon. His skill coupled with his incredibly compassionate bedside manner made a nerve-wracking, very scary situation more bearable.

I am ecstatic I am able to continue my care with him.
