"I had a procedure done with Dr. Schneider in Wakefield, and was quite nervous about the appointment, which I expressed to the woman who took me back to the exam room. She was delightful, attentive, and calm. After the visit, I heard my name as I walked down the hallway. She came around the corner to ask me three simple words that meant so much, "are you okay?". Her genuine care and concern felt reassuring and uplifting. In this time when people are too hurried by the next task or distracted by cell phones, she stopped what she was doing to find me and ask about me. Dr. Schneider was equally excellent. I have worked for 20 years in healthcare and always strive to provide exceptional customer service. As a patient, now on the other side, the office experience I encountered the other day is the standard I aim to deliver as a healthcare professional daily. I wish I could remember the name of the medical assistant who roomed me, but she was lovely, and I wanted to take a few minutes to acknowledge her."
