The office was very outdated, the doctor was 40 minutes late and he told me I need surgery and didn’t explain the procedure, recovery time…basically anything.
January 14, 2026Caroline T.Verified patient
I went in for a backpain. first month, only physical therapy. 2nd month a 28-day cycle of medication. both of these did nothing. when I told the doctor that the medication doesn't help, and the physical therapy is not helping, he said let's try another month. So, for 3 months, I was in pain that could have been reduced by recommending Chiropractor.

It was nice and quick and was able to see me immediately. Really good recommendations in turns of trying out how to go about my foot issues. Instead of going with the most expensive option he suggested I try out cheaper alternatives first before we jump to any conclusions.

Dr. Schlein and staff were excellent and took care of me right away. I've being a patient for many years and 2 recommend him to other patients.

He appears to be quite knowledgeable. Old school! But just what I needed. I was looking for a second opinion, and he was great for that! He explains pretty well what is going on, what is the plan, and what you need.
Wait time was not great! For specialists, I expect our appointments to be filled right away or very close to it. That was my only drawback.
