AI Summary

Mostly positive feedback praises the friendly team and Dr. Schnelzer's clear, direct explanations, with patients describing a personal atmosphere in which they feel taken seriously despite a busy practice. One patient, however, reports the opposite experience, describing a missed cause and a misdiagnosis that left her symptoms unresolved for a long time. Waiting times are rarely mentioned, and while professional competence is generally commended, it is questioned in isolated cases.
