Review by A. Rittenour May 12, 2026

5/5

Dr. Schnell has been my PCP for WELL over 20 years. He listens, asks question to fully understand and also to see if I agree with the path forward. I like the fact that he involves me in the decision making process rather than dictating a plan and moving on to the next patient.
