Matthew Schneider, DPM

Amazing!

I’m so glad I found Dr. Schneider! I had previously seen another podiatrist in the area for an infection on my toe due to an aggressive pedicurist, and this other doctor told me the only option was to remove part of my nail. When I saw Dr. Schneider however, he said it was unnecessary, and just prescribed antibiotics instead. Now 4 days later, my toe is completely back to normal without the painful operation! Thank you so much!

After thinking Dr. Schneider was such a great honest doctor, I was unpleasantly notified by my insurance that he had charged me for an «in office surgery» … NO SUCH THING EVER OCCURRED. He ‘kindly’ offered to show me how to wrap my injured pinky, silly me to think he was trying to be helpful … NOPE! He was just trying to trick me into getting more money from my insurance! Within 30 minutes of leaving his office the wrap fell off, why would you charge me for a surgery?!! This is the reason society does not trust doctors, shame on you! In addition, I paid a $ 50 co pay and my insurance notified me that I had to only pay $ 35 and the office owes me the difference. I’ll consider calling to receive the difference, however I rather leave it up to them to fix their dishonest ways!

Dr Schneider and Leo are some of the friendliest people I’ve encountered in a Dr office. They are never behind schedule, and always offer to make things easier for me as a patient. Go here, you won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Schneider is amazing! Let me start off by saying I am a nightmare patient. I hate needles and the thought of a doctor touching my feet freaks me out! I got into a car accident years ago and messed up my toe. I had the brilliant idea to get an acrylic toenail overtop of what is left of my real nail. I was trying jeans on Sunday and somehow snagged both my real nail and fake nail and it partially ripped up. Worst pain of my life. I called the office and they fit me right in. Dr. Schneider was so gentle and caring and didn’t do anything that I wasn’t comfortable with. I think I found my new foot doctor! Thanks Dr. Schneider! You are now stuck with me as a patient :)

Dr Schneider is amazing. He pulled a huge piece of glass out of the bottom of my foot with almost no pain. He has a calm, confident demeanor that is very reassuring, particularly when you are in pain and/​or scared. Also his staff is so helpful and friendly you pretty much forget you are at a doctors office. I can’t recommend him enough. Go see this doctor stat!

Dr. Schneider is truly a doctor that cares and is conscientious of cost. He takes the time to not only educate but also to treat.
Only guy I let touch my feet.

After numerous visits to the VA and urgent care, I decided to find a podiatrist. I came across Dr. Schneider and have been happy ever since. He is great and takes great care of me. Great customer service with him and his staff as well. Something you can’t find in LA a great doctor, staff, and customer service!!!

i usually don’t write reviews, but i have to give credit where credit is due. i’m always weary of any place that has too many good reviews & has a 5-​star rating, because you never know if they’re too good to be true.
when i first called this morning to make a last minute appointment, they were very accommodating & super friendly. the receptionist was very helpful & caring.
YEAH, so far Unilocal reviewers were right on.
when i came into the office the friendly receptionist greeted me by my name, smile points for that. we chit chatted while i filled out the paperwork & was taken back within a few minutes.
i had barely taken my shoes off before dr. schneider had come into see me! wow! i was prepared to read one of the magazines in the room, that’s why they have them there right? since doctors are notorious for being behind? not at this joint, they are prompt & punctual!
dr. schneider’s bedside manner was great, he seemed to genuinely care for his patients & really wanted to help you get better; not have you take unnecessary tests, take tons of pain meds or purchase any crazy doodad.
with my needs & concerns answered, politely might i add, i was on my way. i like the way they care for their patients here, they don’t overbook to make everyone wait & be greedy; they are understanding & want to help you; and they are very NICE. this is the type of doctor that other doctors should be modeled after!
please keep up the amazing work. i will be back in two weeks for my follow-​up.
i wish that i could say i want to come back more often, but… that would mean i’m pretty messed up and no one wants to be messed up that badly.

Could not agree more with all of the other reviews. Dr. Schneider is just great. Very personable and really cares about your concerns. I very highly recommend him.

Dr. Schneider and his assisstant, Leo, are the best! My whole family are now patients. Dr. Schneider is terrific and very accommodating of schedule whenever we need an appointment. I highly reccommend him!

My review is over a year delayed, as I actually saw Dr. Schneider in March of 2012, but he was so great that it’s worth it to come back and leave a review so long after.
I needed to have a nasty dangling toenail removed, and I put it off as long as possible because I have horrible Dr. anxiety and panic attacks when someone in a white coat comes near me. (Sounds like hyperbole, but it’s totally true.) But I couldn’t put it off any longer and consulted Unilocal,which thankfully pointed me towards Dr. Schneider. I got an appointment the same day, and was seen immediately when I arrived. Dr. Schneider is friendly and funny, and his demeanor immediately put me a little more at ease. He listened carefully while I rambled for a while about my horrible anxiety, about my resistance to anesthetic, and who knows what else and he was incredibly reassuring and did not make me feel like a crazy person. Which would have been totally valid, since I was a rambling bag of crazy at that point.
He took a look and confirmed that yes, the toenail needed to come off, was very straightforward about the procedure, what to expect afterwards, etc. It was all pretty simple, but he explained it to me competently and without any hint of condescension. He was incredibly respectful of all of the issues I’d just thrown at him, and did everything he could to help put me at ease, including letting my friend come in the room and help distract me during the procedure. He chatted with me throughout, and he’s as nice, funny and charming as can be.
The best thing he did, though, was really listen to me and treat me like an adult who knows my own body, which sadly is a difficult trait to come by in a doctor. I explained that often I need more than the usual amount of anesthetic to numb me, which is something that I’ve had several doctors and dentists dismiss in the past. After administering all of the shots, he waited for several minutes and then carefully poked me in all of the places that should have been numb just to be sure that it was. Sure enough, there was a large area of my foot/​toe that hadn’t completely numbed, and I required another shot. I know this sounds like an obvious thing to check, but most docs just seem to assume that whatever amount they administer is enough, and when you’re partially numb it’s really difficult to tell that it’s not completely numb until you find out in the most horrible way possible!
Anyway, he’s great, and I wish he was a GP so he could be my regular doctor. That, for me, is the highest compliment I could possibly have for a doctor. His office staff (the one person I dealt with) was lovely both on the phone and in person, and both were great about following up with me on the phone as well. If you have a foot ailment, this is the guy to see!
One last note, I did have a little bit of trouble finding his office (not the building, just the office), but there’s a good chance it’s because I was loaded up on Xanax and trying to stave off a panic attack, so take that with a grain of salt.

I can see why all the reviews of Dr. Matthew Schneider are so positive. And I’m seriously grateful to Unilocal for helping me find great doctors like this. Dr. Schneider is extremely friendly, extraordinarily helpful (compared to most doctors) and really wants to answer your questions and make sure everything is well explained and understood. Not only is he willing to be upfront with prices, but his prices are totally reasonable. His staff is also friendly and helpful. And my experience was very efficient, I’ve only ever waited about 2 minutes (not 45 minutes as has unfortunately been my experience with other doctors).
I don’t think I could have found a better doctor.
Thanks Unilocalers for helping me here!

A great doctor. He took the time to explain what the condition was and thoroughly explained what I’ll need to do to prevent future damage. He also talked me out of a surgery, which no other doctor would have done. Leo (office manager) emailed me with exercises that will help. Couldn’t have asked for better care.

Dr. Schneider and Leo, at the front desk, were both incredibly helpful and kind. I appreciated the detailed care that I was given and the manner in which they communicated with me. For having a broken foot, I imagine I couldn’t have had a much better experience.

Dr. Schneider is awesome. I desperately needed to be seen the day of and his office was able to give me an appointment within a few hours. I showed up a bit late and I still was in to the doctor’s office within 5 minutes.
He is young, knowledgeable, and friendly. I never felt like I was rushed and he explained things really thoroughly and seemed to genuinely care.
All in all one of the better doctor’s experiences I’ve ever had.

Dr. Schneider and his staff were very friendly and informative. I wanted to get some orthotics and they were able to confirm insurance coverage prior to my appointment. Dr. Schneider took his time in answering all my questions and the orthotics arrived quickly and fit great!

Dr. Schneider was very nice, informative, and calming. I have a chronic pain condition where I deal with doctors a lot, and often they can be unintentionally brusque. This was not the case here. I left confident in my treatment, and relieved about the severity of my condition. I definitely recommend him as a podiatrist.
