I met Dr Schuster for the first time during my stay in hospital. His demeanor and caring attitude were NOTABLE as well as his diagnosis, explanation and treatment of the problem.

He makes you feel like your an idiot. Has no patience. Wouldn't help out when a MAIL in pharmacy needed a verification of prescription, because he had written one out and gave us one. Pharmacy wanted one from his office and to speak to him to get this approved for patient. Told me to mail the rx he gave us to the pharmacy and address it from his office. He had no interest in helping us resolve this, other than trying to make us feel like idiots because HE GAVE US A COPY of the RX.

Excellent, caring, very patient physician who takes the time to listen to you, make inquiries and to get to know you. Sue, the office manager is a gem as well.

I was fortunate to be recommended to Dr. Schuster by my gasteronologist of over 20 years. He is extremely professional, conscientious a great listener and excellent diagnostician. He cares about the whole patient not just the current issue. Highly recommend him.

I have traveled around and as a result have had many doctors across the country. Dr. Schuster is the fifth internist I have seen but he is easily the best. He takes his time to listen carefully to all of my needs. Other doctors have asked about my immediate pains, prescribed some tests and medications and told me to go home. Dr. Schuster, on the other hand, spends so much time trying to understand all causes of the problem. He then doesn't just dispense prescriptions, he talks to me about them. And, he personally called me with my blood test results.
