Dr. Schindler is an angel here on Earth! My father was experiencing painful pressure in his head (has a history of strokes, etc.). He refused to be taken to the ED at Yale. I drove directly to his neurologist's office, Dr. Schindler, on the off-chance that he would be able to see him, without and appointment. Dr. Schindler graciously offered to squeeze him in to an already busy schedule. He spent a great deal of time listening to my father and examining him, despite the fact that he didn't have an appointment. Tests were scheduled and we all left the office feeling as though we had done all we could for my dad. Dr. Schindler has a strong vote of confidence from this family and he is kind, in addition to being extremely knowledgeable in his field.

I went to see Dr. Schindler as a second opinion from NYC and it was well worth the wait. He provided the answers I needed.

This physician took care of one of my family members in 2008 and was very thorough and swift in finding a diagnosis of a rare condition. He also has a wonderful bedside manner. He, and his neurology residents/fellow at Yale New Haven, were outstanding! I would recommend him to anyone!
