Excellent

12/11/2024

Very good

11/22/2024

Was able to get a follow up appointment a couple of days after my MRI. He took his time to discuss the results and took the time to answer any questions I had. He felt surgery was absolutely not necessary. Suggested possible non-surgical treatment and honored my choices. I opted for cortisone shot and physical therapy. He explained the benefits and risks of the shot. Made sure I understood the risks and what the steps to the procedure were and asked for consent during every step. Definitely would highly recommend.

11/20/2024

Very good experience

11/19/2024

Explained things well so I could understand

11/06/2024

No return for 5 years

11/05/2024

it was good

11/04/2024

Good surgeon, good listener

10/29/2024

I asked for a copy of my knee joint. He didn't have a problem given it to me

10/21/2024

This was a very good doctor/patient first time experience. Overall, I'm greatly satisfied.

10/10/2024

The Dr always puts me at ease!

10/10/2024

Listing to the patients with more concern

10/09/2024

Explains well, treats with respect, courtesy and knowledgeable and listens to the worries, concerns, wants and needs of the patient

09/25/2024

I liked it when the Doctor told me his wife has pain that she “must learn to live with.� Another doctor told me same about his wife. Easy to understand that if a doctor’s wife must learn to accept pain it must be a fact. I left the appointment & stopped at CVS to get Bio Freeze.

09/20/2024

Great with everthing.

09/18/2024

On time

09/17/2024

Very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly

09/16/2024

I like the fact that even though the doctor is a surgeon, he did not push surgery, but instead gave me other options and told me all the pros and cons. That to me is a very thoughtful doctor.

09/12/2024

Exam went well and my concerns were taken care of.

09/11/2024

Thank you!

09/10/2024

Provided information I needed and recommendations

Solved knee problem for mow

08/22/2024

very helpful and courteous

08/20/2024

My only concern is I don't know a lot about my disease, or the prognosis for the future. Right now, the injections help the pain to be tolerable, but I feel it is not a long term solution if .y condition is going to get worse. I wish I knew what to do to stop it from worsening, or at least slow the progression..I just dont have any answers

08/17/2024

Perfect

08/15/2024

Dr. Schueller is a prime example of excellent care. He's polite, knowledgeable, skilled and efficient.

07/25/2024

Dr Schuller listened carefully to my concern about night pain. I appreciated that he showed me the before and after X-ray.

07/25/2024

Dr. Schueller was very personable and listened carefully to me. Loved the fact he used comparative analysis- comparing my injured ankle to my other ankle/foot. Provided the much-needed care in a professional manner.

07/24/2024

It was a very positive experience in every way. It was timely. Everyone was caring and courteous.

07/23/2024

I can't thank Dr. Schueller and his staff enough for giving me my life back.

07/18/2024

Very good thank you.

07/18/2024

Dr. Schuller is vry good, just had an issue after i checked in.

07/18/2024

Dr. Schuler is very good at striking a balance between efficiency of the appointment and pleasant conversation. Your supporting staff are also very good at getting people prepped and giving reasonable estimates of wait time in the treatment room. Those waits are not excessive, IMO.

07/16/2024

I believe I've covered it.

06/06/2024

Answers my questions.

06/04/2024

After having 3 surgeries with Dr. Schueller, I experience his care and concern as being very genuine and his recommendations being valuable to my physical and mental progress in moving forward to better health.

05/16/2024

Dr. Schueller listens and thoughtfully explains the situation in understandable language.

Dr. Dean Schueller is a wonderful, compassionate, very effective physician. I highly recommend him. He is also very personable and easy to talk to and he listens. I like him very much and I am very pleased with his care for my knees.

04/25/2024

On this particular day, he didn't seem to be in listening mode. During earlier visits he has been, however. Perhaps he was rushed this time?

04/25/2024

Thank you for your dedication

04/24/2024

Dr. Schueller has a compassionate, caring, effective personality. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

04/17/2024

Exceptionally positive

04/11/2024

I found Dr. Schueller (and his whole team) to be knowledgeable and compassionate, focusing on infection control and best patient outcome. Great patient care from start to finish of a total hip replacement. I would highly recommend him.

Professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and attentive care. great focus on infection control and patient education.

04/09/2024

Wonderful experience.

04/03/2024

First time in seeing this doctor, could use a bit of work on his bedside manner- the last thing that a woman wants to be told is that she is old, already is aware of it

03/28/2024

He wasn’t rushed and took his time with me!

03/20/2024

My appointment was on time with minimal waiting and I received the information I needed

03/05/2024

Just a wonderful experience overall.

02/28/2024

I like this doctor and he is very helpful and engaged with my overall care.

02/27/2024

One thing regarding Dr Schuller, he is very professional and very kind at the same time. He explains things in a way that anyone can understand. To be honest there are not a lot of doctors like that anymore.

02/08/2024

Dr. Schueller was a pleasant surprise. He was thoughtful and patient and explained his reasoning for the treatment well.

02/06/2024

I felt he took all extenuating conditions into consideration in deciding on my care.

01/23/2024

I was disappointed Dr. Schueller didn't seem to have reviewed my medical info

09/07/2023

I am very happy to have Dr. Schueller as my doctor.

09/07/2023

Dr. Schueller didn't organize his thoughts well. Pre-visit planning may be helpful. A thorough history was taken by the assistant; Dr. Schueller hadn't made use of it.

Not thrilled

08/22/2023

He try to narrow down the problem when your ex rays come back good.

08/18/2023

IHA as a provider is fine. This particular dr was cold arrogant and dismissive

08/15/2023

It wasn't helpful, a Waite of time and money

08/04/2023

I felt heard and cared for as a person.

08/03/2023

Dr. Schueler was terrific in listening to me and making recommendations.

Cheerful, pleasant, efficient doctor.

07/17/2023

Got appointment pretty quickly, but resolving my problem will take too long.

07/15/2023

Made me feel very comfortable

07/12/2023

Uninterested in my case

07/07/2023

Honestly, the worst experience I’ve had at a Trinity facility.

07/06/2023

All the equipment worked perfectly and provided the right amount of variety and challenge.

06/29/2023

The provider was courtesy and interested in my situation

06/28/2023

Dr Schueler apologized for running behind, we had a brief and productive chat, he gave me the scheduled injections, and both went on about our day. Pleasant and efficient.

Sent my husband to sse this doc because doc cares

06/15/2023

Thank you

06/08/2023

Time from checking in to checking out was almost 3 hours. Longer than expected, but staff nurse, doctor, etc. seemed overbooked and over worked, yet still had AMAZING patience and compassion for child and family with them. They were willing to accommodate for anxiety within my child while being kind and caring. Personal feel doctor could have given more detailed explanation but overall wonderful

06/08/2023

Can’t think of anything to add

06/07/2023

Very good Experience

06/02/2023

I am still astonished at how little pain that I have experienced related to the surgery Thank you Dr. Schueller!.

06/01/2023

While this provider may be medically competent, he was not friendly and did not demonstrate a lot of care or concern for my son (the patient). It very much felt like we were a widget on an assembly line.

06/01/2023

Nothing to complain about

05/31/2023

It was a very good experience.

Would have liked more information about post surgery norms.

More explanation on what to expect or to do to get better quicker or aid to help myself

04/20/2023

My dog pulls very hard when walking and the technicians designed a position that would keep me from falling when tugged too hard

04/07/2023

Made me feel comfortable and heard from the get go

04/05/2023

Good with all my appointment.

04/03/2023

I trust Dr. Schuller medically but his manner makes me feel like like not only am I just on an assembly line but it's mostly my own fault for being there.

03/24/2023

Wonderful care

03/10/2023

He listened and responded with kindness
