Patient reviews for Dr. Adam Schneiderman
Friendly staff. Dr. Schneiderman is professional, kind, great doctor. Can shop for and order glasses right at the office as well.
Dr. Schneiderman is awesome. I always have a great experience with him.
Dr Schneiderman has always been pleasant and professional to our family members over the years. Highly recommend him for an annual exam with dilation, or for problems like redness or irritated eyes.
Very professional. The staff and the Dr delivered an informative and wonderful experience. I will definitely recommend this practice to others.
Dr. Schneiderman was great. He was very thorough when he examined the issues with my eye. I have historically had some random combination issues going on with my eyes, so having a thorough look to be more certain what’s taking place is important to me. He also had a calming energy (especially compared to the office which was pretty chaotic). I look forward to my follow-up because he was really helpful.
Dr. Schneiderman was thoughtful and helpful however his office is awful. I experienced an unexpected allergic reaction to prescribed medication that resulted in a visit to the emergency room and needed to speak with Dr. Schneiderman (called numerous times and left voicemails, even spoke with an assistant to stress the urgency of the situation however Dr. Schneiderman said he was never notified of any of my messages). After I finally spoke with him he was helpful but will never use this doctor office again.
Excellent treatment, fast and very polite staff, I love it .
Great doctor, really helped me!
Dr Schneiderman was totally cool. Very down to earth and we were close in age and I’m a musician so we had that in common. This was a shot in the dark so I’m very pleased it worked out.
Dr. Schneiderman was very thorough and thoughtful. I felt well cared for and believe that the time he spent asking questions combined with the clinical exam put me on the right treatment track. I have nowswitched from my previous ophthalmologist to Dr. Schneiderman based on this terrific experience!
very professional and warm doctor. Love it.
i am suffering from last Monday i.e . April 8 and i went to my primary care physician on 10 and 11 recommended ophthalmologist i was not able go to work on April 12 and 15 and i got procedure on April 16 in the doctor office.. but I requested them doctor note for April 12 and 15 .. they didn’t provide .. now my job is at stake. Other than that excellent service.. Nice doctor perfect treatment
Dr. Schneiderman was pretty prompt in seeing me, he was friendly, and genuine, and most importantly knowledgeable and thorough. I did not feel rushed at any time, I felt at ease and trusted his expertise, and he addressed all of my issues and questions.
Very thorough and pleasant
Not thrilled. Separate person briefly checks your eyesight. Then you wait AGAIN to see doc, who was not really personable. Also the glasses there are super duper EXPENSIVE!!
Really reassuring and nice! I was much more at ease after my appointment.
It was a pleasant experience that belied my earlier fears. He answered my questions relative to my bilateral cataracts; when I should go for surgery; and he even assured my that he did not see vasculitis in my eyes. I am happy that I will see him again in July.
He is thorough. He knows what he is doing.
Excellent doctor - very patient. Takes time to listen and gives good advice and recommendations.
He’s an excellent opthomologist! I completely trust him with the care of my sight!
I think he is awesome the best him & he's staff ... NO COMPLAINTS MARVELLOUS EDUCATED WELL MANOR PROFESSIONAL
Very professional and thorough!
I think he's great. I just wish that they didn't make me go get the glasses prescription from a separate person.
Short wait. But, they did ask me for my insurance card, even though I submitted it via Zoccoc. Overall though, the visit was fast and efficient.
He is informative and patient. Felt great done checking with my eyes, such a relief since I have high prescription on both of my eyes.
The staff is always friendly, professional and I'm able to get an appointment quickly.
Good smooth visit. Took his time to explain things and didn’t have to wait long.
Nice doctor, truly excellent service at the front desk. The wait could have been shorter but worth it. Highly recommended
I like Dr. S, he is very personable and make me feel comfortable.
Very professional. Every visit has been pleasant. Very thorough in his examinations.
Great ophthalmologist. Very thorough and explains everything.
Office support team were very nice. They have a great eyeglasses place too.
Dr. Schneiderman was very knowledgeable and he took time to explain my options.
I love these doctor, straight to the point and address your concerns
Fantastic professional who takes great care of his patients. I'd highly recommend.
The technicians did all the testing in advance of the doctor seeing me. The doctor was very thorough and explained his findings clearly. Overall, good visit
Fantastic Dr.
Great!
Dr.Schneiderman is very sweet, caring and professional! I was fortunate and went day before labor day weekend, so he had some time to spare and took his time to explain everything and did the most thorough exam. I'd recommend him to anyone!
Waited for no more than 15 minutes. Very professional and clean clinic. I highly recommend.
Fantastic experience. Quick in, quick out. Full confidence in both Dr. Schneiderman and the professional who did the preliminaries. Good offices. Had an 830a appointment, but would prefer earlier appointments if available or Saturday appointments if offered.
Efficient and professional!
Fast diagnosis. Very pleasant. I felt very comfortable and would recommend him.
very dry sense of humor. Definitely knowledgeable and helpful but comes off intimidating.
He was great and referred me to someone within his practice that would better understand my condition.
My visit with Dr Schneiderman was professional and to the point all aspects of my eye care was discused. I was pleased with my visit. Andrea. Dillard.
I had a great experience with the front desk and Dr Schneiderman. Maybe because it is new Xmas and NYE, there weren't many patients. The front desk was friendly and efficient. The assistant and Dr S are informative and patient. He took his time and explained everything and answered all my concerns.
Doctor was great. Office was disgusting - no soap in the bathroom and the soap dispenser was broken - I informed the reception staff twice the and they brushed it off, only to go back to playing on their cell phones while multiple patients used the bathroom with no soap. How does an eye doctors office not have any soap in the bathroom and a soap dispenser that had clearly been broken for a while based on the receptionists response? It is an environment where staff and patients are constantly touching eyes! Completely disgusting and I will never go back here as a result. The eye Dr I saw was good otherwise.
The other reviews are spot on. Dr Schneiderman was good, but the wait was ludicrous. If you can find another doctor you probably should unless you're ok waiting for almost 2 hours to be seen. Besides the wait, though, no complaints. He was a nice guy and seemed knowledgeable.
The reception desk people are not particularly warm or friendly - erroneously told me my CareFirst insurance card was unacceptable. I had to go to the supervisor to straighten that out. However, I never have to wait long to get an appointment or to sign in when I arrive.
