Excellent surgeon. Love the staff. Leah and Chelesa are great. They take really good care of you!!! Highly recommend
Always honest, caring and thorough. Understands my PTSD caused by another DR and works with me to be sure any procedures are done anxiety free. I also have a severe allergic to contrast dye which is critical in getting diagnostic tests, he and his staff makes sure I’m pre-treated, and a specialty team is on standby when Myelogram and discogram is required.
He did my cervical fusion in 2015 and is not one to just rush into surgery unless it’s necessary. I have a failed lumbar fusion from 2003 that needs replacement/repair, but he didn’t want to open me up unless the disc above or below finally gave out; it looks like surgery is imminent because of a lump in my lower back (I suspect a screw backed out in the fusion, Myelogram will tell us shortly)
I trust him fully to get me back on my feet. I’ve come back twice from being in a wheelchair. If Collapsing 3 times this month alone is an indication that my legs are losing strength even after losing 174 lbs., I’m sure I’m headed for a new fusion.
I wonder if he can replace the fusion with disc replacement because I would totally be game.
I have been seeing Dr. Schooley since 2013. He and his team are extremely helpful and caring. Because of Dr. Schooley's amazing work, I have been able to return to work after being disabled for 10 years. I will never see anyone else.
Dr. Schooley and his entire staff are the greatest.
Awesome people.
Great service.
Dr. Schooley and his staff have always been great. He is honest and direct with what needs to happen to fix any neurological issues.

Thank you for being so sweet and caring. I would recommend this office anytime.
Always super sweet staff.
