Very caring. Explained why I can't have shot
The best doctor I have ever been to.
Awesome !
Extremely personable as well as very knowledgeable. Excellent experience, and made sure he explained everything thoroughly so my son understood how important arm care, rest and proper mechanics are being an athlete. Will be coming back to see Dr. Snyder if need be.
Wonderful staff and friendly experience, whole place makes you feel welcomed.
Very professional and very nice
Dr Snyder is the best shoulder Dr I’ve ever been to (And I have been to many). He’s knowledgeable, professional, and listens to his patients, which not all shoulder surgeons do. He’s repaired my rotator cuff and did a fantastic job. I won’t go to any other surgeon.
Personalized and effective treatment. Highly recommend.
Feeling better already
Dr Snyder was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. He was very thorough in explaining why I was in pain and my options to decrease the pain.
