Always pleased when I visit.
I wish I knew about him sooner.
I had a wonderful time and a great visit. Looking forward to my colonoscopy next Friday. Thank you very much. Have a great day.
Dr. Snyder is great. I like his staff and his residents are excellent too. They're learning and they're all very professional. The whole office staff, the medical technicians. Of course, Dr. Snyder is one of the best. I sure appreciate him working on me. Thank you. Bye.
Great staff thankful for them
Dr. Snyder is the best. I have been a patient for 20 years and would never trust anyone else with my care.
Great experience for my first visit with Dr. Snyder. He was quick, but very knowledgeable and professional. Looking forward to see how he can help me with my medical needs.
Excellent doctors and nurses and very knowledgeable and helpful!
The wife and I are very fortunate that we were referred to Dr Snyder, he is Best of The Best.
It's always a pleasant visit to my doctor's appointment with Michael Snyder. I love everything about the office. Thank you.
Good doctor and nice people. Took care of me right away and made me feel welcome. Thank you!
We liked this doctor very much.
My experience went very well from the time of entry. It was greeted nicely, filled out the paperwork and everything. Even when I got to the person that checked my blood pressure, it was very kind, friendly. Got to meet Dr. Snyder and his assistant. Asked a lot of questions, gave me a lot of information, and any questions that I had, they gave me their feedback and gave me more knowledge than what I came with. So I definitely appreciate everyone from the beginning to the very end of the process scheduling my colonoscopy.
Dr. Snyder is a caring and experienced professional. I have had difficulty finding care at other doctors. I almos cried tears of joy when I left. He made me feel seen and like a real person.
Pleasant.
I had earlier (Nov 2024 ?) inquired about an appt through the website portal as directed. I did not get a response. I didn't expect the Doctor to answer me, but a staff member could have done so.
very diligent about my care
It was a great experience
Dr. Snyder pointed me in the right direction when I was tapered to a low dose of steroids and ready to see if I could have a redo operation.
I appreciate Dr. Snyder's reasonable approach to problems. He also has an excellent nursing and office staff.
You need to verify insurance before the appointment. It's why I entered and I thought I also took a picture of my insurance card for the week before my appointment.
Thank you. The front desk administrator has a kind and thoughtful demeanor.
I really felt heard as a patient. This is important to me.
I have great respect for Dr. Snyder and the care he provides. Would highly recommend him.
All of my questions were answered. There was not a long wait.
I never have to wait very long to see him. That is a real +
Dr. Snyder was able to see me on short notice which was greatly appreciated. The care received from him and his staff was exceptional.
He was a great doctor. I really appreciate what he did.
Everything went well. We'd love to see them again. Thank you.
Nice Doctor and staff
