Schuyler Dejong's Online Review Report Card

I recently was seen by Dr. Dejong for possible surgery for meniscus repair in my right knee. From the moment he entered the exam room he seemed annoyed and very unfriendly. He seemed bothered by me wearing a mask even after I explained that I do not have COVID but did in the past and being 65 yrs old I am careful when out in public. He continued to view my x-rays and MRI results but really got an attitude when he found out I don't have insurance. He actually breathed out like annoyed when he asked about it and found out on I had none even though he has no idea if I can pay or not. He was very short and didn't really answer my questions like I was wasting his time . Didn't care about my description of where my pain is and proceeded to physically twist my leg around very painfully like he was trying to pull off a chicken wing. He then gave me a shot in my knee without really explaining what it was. Again he was very rough about it and it was very sore for days. Shot didn't help and the knee has more pain now then it did before. He left off with saying he was going to give me a referral for pain management. No discussion of possible treatment options . Just left . I understand that I also have arthritis in my knee and hip but I was following a possible course of treatment recommended to me by Dr. Woodward at Brevard Health Alliance including referral to an Orthopedic Surgeon. I never expected to be treated so coldly and unprofessionally by a Health First Doctor. George

I was misdiagnosed by this Dr. Even though I had an MRI report that showed a rotator cuff tears he said I had a frozen shoulder. I was shocked because after seeing another Dr. I was told there was no evidence of a Frozen Shoulder.

I was seem by Dr. Dejong a couple times for ongoing shoulder discomfort. He is highly professional, pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. He gave me a couple shots for relief, which worked very timely and efficient. His staff is just as knowledgeable and professional...i would highly recommend Dr. Dejong he is Top Notch in health care

Very professional! Friendly staff! Never a long wait. Dr. DeJung was warm & friendly, as well as detailed with my surgery information and post-surgery visits.

Dr. DeJong performed elbow surgery on July7 to remove bone spurs and clean up some arthritis. Back to the golf course in 3 weeks. first round a 79! He is on time, professional and his staff is excellent.

Dr. DeJong and staff were professional and capable, explained all my options, and completed the surgery without any problems. Thanks to the Doctor and team for a good experience.

Had a positive visit today. Scheduled surgery.

He is absolutely terrible. No time to answer questions, will only diagnose one issue per appointment and is not organized at all. I went to get his opinion on a new device and to look at my shoulder. He said he was running late and like to only treat one issue at time. He gave me his opinion on the device and wants me to make another appointment to look at my shoulder. His nurse is just as bad, she has no idea about anything. I would not recommend DeJong any longer to any one.

The Veteran's Affairs surgeon from Viera VA recommended Dr. Dejong to correct a labrum tear on my shoulder. This was my first major surgery, and the tear had been almost 2 years old by the time of surgery. I was extremely nervous about having any surgeries done, but I'm glad I finally had my issue corrected. Dr. DeJong performed above any expectation I had for a surgeon with his procedures and corrected my tear with minimum down time and fantastic post-operative care. I would not hesitate to utilize his services again if I ever need further surgery.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. DeJong. He is caring and thorough. He’s also an excellent doctor. I highly recommend him. Both my husband have been treated by him.
