Dr. Snyder is always personable, thorough, and truly an expert in his field. He takes the time to get to know his patients, clearly explains the diagnosis, and outlines a realistic treatment plan with honest expectations. I brought my 18-year-old son, who has ASD, for a shoulder injury, and Dr. Snyder was fantastic. He spoke directly to my son, engaging him in the visit and explaining everything in a way he could understand. His sense of humor and compassion never disappoints. As an orthopedic nurse who worked with Dr. Snyder in the hospital, I had no hesitation choosing him for my son’s care. We were able to get a next-day appointment, got X-rays in the office prior to his visit, and had appts for therapy, MRI, and a follow-up appt scheduled before we even left the office. The office staff was equally impressive—very friendly, helpful, and efficient. The entire experience was smooth, professional, and reassuring. Plus, the office is conveniently located in St. Augustine! 5 Stars!!!
Great visit, nice guy great staff. They see you at your given appointment time which is very much appreciated.
He is confident, thorough, and to the point with friendly and even comical demeanor. Great doctor.
Very attentive and listened to what I had to say. Answered questions so I could understand. Ordered tests and rescheduled follow up visit
