“Dr Schuster is exceptionally knowledgeable, and a clear communicator. Regarding my condition, he got to the point with just a couple of minutes of questions.”

“ZocDoc files failed to identify me as a long-standing client of Dr. Schuster's, which created some confusion at first. Also, the dates available for booking were not available, so Dr. Schuster's office had to call to get me a date the following week.”

Dr Schuster was excellant and actually saved me a lot of time by expediting a test that could have taken weeks to schedule. He was great to deal with, and easy to understand. I had a very positive experience. In addition his staff Lisa and Jade were both amazing as well!

Excellent — very professional and knowledgeable.
January 25, 2019James C.Verified patient
I arrived earlier than my appointment with no one in the office or the check in counter. At 10 minutes after my appointment, the office and check in desk opened. I was given a bracelet for a procedure which was neither for me nor with my name. Great was to start a new doctors visit. The visit with Dr. Schuster was excellent. I appreciated the extra time he took to explain what was happening and why as well as what to watch out for in terms of changes in my condition.
I would certainly recommend Dr. Schuster, but I am not sure about his reception staff
