Had a really great experience with Dr. Schiff and his staff. Dr. Schmidt was extremely thorough with the questions he asked me and gave me multiple opportunities to ask questions. He gave me a clear indication of next steps and was very reassuring. The nurse who drew my blood was also very personable and made me feel comfortable.
Everyone at Dr. Schiff office was very professional and friendly. The doctor made me feel valued and understood my pain. I recommend this practice.
Verified patient
Dr. Schiff was wonderful. He is very knowledgeable and really listened and asked a lot of questions too. Would definitely recommend if you are in need of a rheumatologist.
Verified patient
This was a consult over some concerns of mine which proved to be unfounded and a confirmation of what was my original supposition regarding my condition. Dr Cliff did offer some relief for my condition which I was not aware was available and this was greatly appreciated.
Verified patient
Staff were nice, office really clean. No wait time— I arrived early and was called right away to the back. Vitals were taken and shortly after I was seen by Dr. Schiff. He was nice, listened and gave me his honest opinion of what he thought was best for me/referred me to see a different specialist who he recommends for my chief complaint. He even waived my copay, which was extremely nice of him to do.
