Always very good.
Dr. Schiess is wonderful! Exceptionally knowledgeable, caring, & personable.
Dr. Mya, she is not just a very good doctor, she's a very good person and she really, truly cares about her patients. I think that's the ultimate best thing I can expect from a doctor. Thank you very much.
Both doctors were very helpful! And we're quite concerned about all the tests we have used in finding a solution for problems.
I am a new patient of Dr. Schiess, and her to extremely easy to communicate with and she pays close attention to what her patient has to say. She spent at least 1 hour with me and with her fellow (Dr. Le) spent a total of 1.5 hours in the exam room evaluating my illness.
My daughter and husband and a resident and a med student 6 in all were there. It felt like a town hall. However. We all got to say what we wished. I trust Dr S .
Dr. Schiess is the best!
I will miss Dr. Schiess and was relieved to hear that Dr. Melissa Christie was trained under Dr. Schiess. I moved to Brookdale Memorial City and asked for my records to be transferred to Dr. Christie as it would become more difficult for me to keep coming to the Medical Center. I'm so very grateful for the 8 years I have been under Dr. Schiess's care.
The doctor and staff are intelligent, seem to know what they are doing, listen carefully and communicate clearly and are friendly.
Verry Good!
It was a great experience. Everyone was very caring and extremely knowledgeable.
I would tell anyone I know that has any kind of neurologist problem to go to this Dr as they needed to!
It's just a really great experience. What I enjoyed the most is they actually listened and they cared about me. Thank you.
Excellent Provider and very happy to be under her care
She has been my doctor 15 years. She is the best.
efficient care givers very knowledgeable and curteos
As usual, Dr Schiess and her team were flawless. Caring, interested and attentive. In a difficult situation we felt safe and secure. They took all the time we needed to ask and answer questions. We even laughed a few times!
Impressive level of health care
Before Dr. Schiess came in there was an assistant Dr. that wore a mask and it was very had to understand what he was saying or asking. He was asking questions like we were a new patient. I have been bringing my wife [...] to see Dr. Schiess for 10 years now. I would think it would be on file and he would ask questions a different way and not so many questions. This assistant Dr. was the only staff member wearing a mask out in the waiting room as well as back in the office where patients go to see Dr. Schiess. I know Dr. Schiess train assistance Dr. but this assistant Dr. Could have asked questions a different way. We always Love to see Dr. Schiess and she is a fantastic Adult Neurology Dr. UT Physicians in Houston Texas are bless to have a Dedicated Dr. on staff. Thanks you Dr. Schiess.
She has a positive concern about my healthcare.
