Schneider Gary DO

I went to Schneider Gary DO today he was the best Dr. that I have been to in LA so far! He actually listened and had an answer!!! He took his time with me totally worth the wait because they care!

Takes the time to get to know you. Was helpful getting my referrals in and I’m off and running getting setup with recommended specialists in my network. Dr. S is great!

An experience with this doctors staff and organizarional skills.
Visit 1) 1 hour 45 minutes wait
Visit 2) two hour wait
Visit 3) Was told on arrival that my appointment didnt exist and could have been a result of a system migration. Not a patient in the waiting room and not even so much as an attempt by the staff to ask the doctor if he could see me since his usual time spent is about 5 minutes anyways.
Doctor is fine, no issue when you see him, his staff… unless you have all day to waste, find another practice.

I have been going to Dr. Schneider for years and he is so calm and knowledgeable I give him and his nurses 5 stars. However I just got off the phone with Michelle, she handles all the authorizations. First I called my medical group to see if they had received it and they said no. Then I called the dr’s office to see why there had been a delay. My appt with the dr was last Wednesday Feb 25, normally it takes approx. 5 days for the medical group to process the paperwork and approve it. My request was for physical therapy and x-​rays as I am having a lot of pain and the dr. said that it is possibly osteo-​arthritis, very painful. I am hopeful that the physical therapy will help.
So I called and Michelle answered the phone, I told her I was calling to follow up on an authorization, she then me told that it had not been sent, I asked why… she said «UUMMM because I’ve been busy?» I just could not believe what I was hearing, I do understand dr’s offices are busy and things can get overlooked but she was sooo rude and unprofessional. I am in shock. I tried to remain calm and asked that my request be rushed, she said she couldn’t rush it because the dr was on vacation and not there to sign it. Okay. We got into an argument and I was furious and frustrated and could not believe that this person was talking to me that way, at some point she laughed and I said do you think this is funny? that I am in pain? SO UNPROFESSIONAL! this is completely unacceptable.
I am taking this as a lesson to test my patience. Luckily I rarely ever encounter people like Michelle in my life and I am sure I will talk to her again because I am not switching doctors at this point just because she’s rude. All I hope to get is my authorizations processed so I can start treatment and an apology. Is that too much to ask?

Dr. Schneider is an incredible doctor. I have been a patient of his since he began in practice many years ago. He is caring, kind, knowledgeable and, above all, an exceptionally talented diagnostician. When my elderly mother moved near me, he became her doctor also. Throughout her long and difficult illness, he was there for me whenever I needed him — I don’t know how I would have coped without him. His staff is wonderful as well. I recommend him to everyone I know.

Sweet man. Good at what he does. Really.
Not giving 5 stars for one reason: the WAIT.
It’s a given that my doctor appointment will take 1 and a ½ or more each time and I just can’t take that much time in my day for a simple refill of prescription. Love the doctor but the wait is tough.

I started seeing Dr Schneider a few years ago when I developed adult onset asthma out of the blue. A friend recommended him to me. So I went in and he was so patient, so caring, but also really took my health issues with true concern, as I was not taking it as seriously as I should have. He recommended me to a lung doctor, which I must say, any doctor he refers me to knows their stuff also. When you find a great doctor, they only refer great doctors too.
So flashback to now, I no longer have the asthma, completely healthy, and only see him for physicals or minor health issues. But every time I do, his staff is friendly, knows my health issues, makes me feel welcome.
Dr. Schneider has such a great demeanor. I really feel like I’m in great hands when I visit. He reminds me of my childhood doctor I grew up with that really cared about me but also knew his stuff. I trust him completely when it comes to my health. He really listens when you come in, it’s not like you’re just another patient he has to check off his daily list. I’m super glad I found him!

First time patient for DR. Schneider! Loved the service and fast walkin!!! The staff seemed very nice and professional

Dr Schneider is a very good doctor, always thorough and thoughtful about whatever issue or ailment you may present. His style is easy going, and welcoming, but you always know he’s quite knowledgable about what he speaks of, and is clearly exploring any option possible to help.
The only minor issue… the long wait time. Maybe because he’s so good, he’s just popular and has more patients wanting to see him than another comparable doctor. I’m a loyal patient nonetheless!

i have been going to dr. schneider for general care for more than 20 years. my only complaint is the wait time, which is often an hour, but i don’t see that as any trade-​off compared to great medical care from someone who has known me and my family history [both my mother and grandmother have been patients of his as well]. he has always taken my hmo insurance as well, so i’ve never had to leave his office due to insurance changes.
he is certainly a dry wit, which is just fine with me, but if you don’t have a bit of a sense of humor, try mustering one up for your visit. his office is staffed with a lot of long-​timers as well who each bring their own personality to the service. i think the benefit here is to the longtime patients, since they have a system we’re all used to, it’s like a dependable family you come to for your appointment. new patients might not get into the flow of this right away, but i think it’s worth sticking around.
