Dr. Cristy Mark Schade, MD

I like that he explains things very well only seen him twice impressed.

I have seen Chris for over 25 years, all I can say is that he is great doctor, he will take care of you, lesson to you, and most of all he will see to what your needs are! That to me means a lot!

Dr. Schade placed me on high dosages of potent medications but failed to educate or warn me that by submitting to the presctibed regime it would or could result in me losing my significant position professionally causing unemployment in the future. After one month, I lost my job at two hospitals due to the medcation I was placed on though it didn't interefere with my job performance. With brokeness I told dr. Schade this and he simply smiled and directed me to apply for medical disability. Shortly thereafter, discontinued seeing me without taking measures for me to continue care with another doctor. Frankly, he was apathetic and uncaring. His reaction was he refuses to take workers comp insurance anylonger due to non payment. This health professional did not take time to advise me though my medical condition required this intervention, warnings of possible outcomes weren't explained nor alternative options given.

I have been seeing Dr. Schade for twelve years approximately. I can honestly say he has kept me functioning and his treatment plan has probably kept me from committing suicide. While that is a very dramatic statement, it is true. The pain I was suffering was beyond what I could endure. He takes whatever time is needed to discuss any issues I have and is careful to find out what other medical care I have had since my last visit, coordinating my medical care overall. He gives me a thorough exam each time I see him. He monitors all concerns there might be about the effect of my medications on my organs and makes sure I follow his directions regarding use of those medications. Although I now live almost 100 miles from his office, I will NEVER end my relationship with Dr. Schade of my own accord. He is a Godsend and I am so thankful that he is my doctor.

I have been under Dr. Schade's care for 20ty plus years, he's very attentive to his patients care, his bed side manner is impeckable, he litteraly saved my life, I have been dealing with chronic cervicle pain since 1989, Dr. Schade took control of my situation, being very suicidal when I first met him, he offered me hope and has been managing my pain every since. He makes you feel at ease with what his medical plan is for you, one thing you have to have between Dr and patient is trust, and I have always and will be forever be grateful to him for listening to me when I first met him. All I can say is your in good hands.

I have been seeing Dr. Schade since 1990. He is a consumate professional and always puts the interest of his patients first. I truly believe that I am an example of one of those patients that without Dr. Schade's dedication I could easily be dependant upon social security rather than being a productive citizen. Thank you for all that you do.

I have titanium springs in my back, and the Dr. I was seeing before my family Dr. sent me to a Spine Specialist, was horrid. He had suggested I not have surgery for 8yrs while I suffered through pain. Sending me to hypnosis, therapy, shots in spine, etc... When I finally saw a good Dr. he asked why I had not had surgery 8yrs earlier. After surgery he sent me to Dr. Schade, and he has been excellent in explaining everything and caring for me.

Dr Schade is a coward when it comes to law enforcment. He participated in a law enforcment investigation and "turned in" a couple of his patients for violating his pain managment contract without even speaking to the patients to get their side of the story. Now a couple of his patients are being prosecuted for felonies and are at risk for prison sentences over miscommunication and misinformation on Dr Schade's part. Patient's BEWARE. I never thought Dr. Schade would be so uncompassionate as to not even ask a patient's side and just out right drop the patients from treatment due to pressure from law enforcment.

I called them as a new patient & made sure they not only took my insurance but could of course care for Migraines along with Back & Neck Pain. Of course they said yes to all & told me to have my doctor send a referral & records first then the doctor would go over & they would schedule an appt. Well needless to say they lied about all of it. They not only never bothered to call me or return my calls they claimed they called my doctors office instead when I finally did get a hold of them. Then they changed it & said they called my doctors office twice. Well my doctors office told me they called them but that was only to say they weren't on my insurance & I would need an out of network referral. Keep in mind when I spoke to them in advance I did speak to the billing person to verify they did take my insurance & now I have this person on the phone telling me that the doctor won't see me & that is what they told my doctors office. So when I confront her as to the fact that she's telling me… he's not willing to see me but she told my doctors office it was due to my insurance, she says it was both & what difference does it make. I told her a lot because I know they do take my insurance. Now she says it's because he isn't able to treat me. Again after I made sure he could before going through all this. She proceeds to try to tell me that he doesn't treat Migraines which I don't believe at all. This also supposedly happened the same day they were sent my records. Like a doctor would review paper work that fast.What happened to just getting a referral & going to a doctor? Now the doctors are deciding if they are willing to care for patients or not??? I don't think that is in any of their oaths they take or anything they are taught in med school!!!

I would go back as often as necessary, the staff was super and the doctor listened to every thing that was said, great expierence
