Dr. Tanya Marie Schineller, MD

She is absolutely horrible. The way she spoke to us was appalling. She should not be practicing mental health.

Terrible and unprofessional. Hostile and condescending. Rude and impatient. Zero compassion for a patient struggling with mental health. Asked no relevant questions to develop an understanding. Did not allow for a safe and welcoming environment. Should NOT be a practicing mental health professional. A true shame that seeing her will certainly discourage wanting to seeking mental health assistance. Really moves progress backwards.

Very rude and condescending, talks down to you as if you know nothing about your own situation. Shows virtually no empathy or kindness. I understand it is necessary for a doctor to be an objective listener but I never felt truly heard when I spoke to her. It was very hard for me to open up to her and when I did I always regretted doing so. Usually felt worse and hopeless after leaving.

My mother had a very impersonal "Teledoc" appointment with this doctor on an Ipad. My mother has been suffering with severe paranoia , hallucinations, and persecuatory delusions. This doctor prescribed Abilify with a"she cite" tracking device to monitor compliance which is great except shnow won't even give it a try because she already believes there are cameras and tracking devices all over her house/car/phone and that the pharmacy has been giving her the wrong meds. I just can not comprehend why she thought this would be a good idea. Not to mention there is no way to get a hold of her. No phone number, email, or contact info. The office staff even said that she can not be reached. I am very disappointed and need to find her a more personable doctor.

I’ve never felt as alienated by a doctor before as I have been by her. She was cold and didn’t actually seem to care for me as a patient and often seemed to talk down to me as if I was stupid. I have lived with mental illness since my teens and did not appreciate being talked to as if I knew nothing when I was seeking help. Her lack of empathy was baffling to me since she’s a professional in the field of mental health. Her behavior and attitude toward me as a patient felt anything but professional and I’m glad to have had my last appointment with her and to be moving on. I just hope she treats other patients better but I would never recommend her.
