If I could choose 10000 I would. He is insanely caring and no matter how far behind he is, he still takes his time and NEVER rushes. He deserves so much more than what I could give. He saved my life and the one on one talk today has freshened my mind to a good positive direction. He outs his heart into practicing and that is hard to find these days.

Even though I had a Telehealth visit as opposed to meeting with Dr. Schuele in person, I feel things went well overall. He asked a lot of questions regarding how my medical situation came about answered the questions I had for him. He informed me of the next step in my treatment and when we would meet in person. Dr. Schuele seemed to care about me and what I was dealing with and certainly did not rush through our visit, for which I am very grateful.
