Mark D. Snavely's Online Review Report Card

This person is the WORST person I’ve ever seen in the health field! That includes ALL of my health care encounters, and I’m 65 years old. Zero concern, doesn’t listen, interrupts, and prescribes a different medication every month. I have severe anxiety, and he told me that he would not prescribe any meds to help, because they cause dementia, but recommended ECT! My father had ECT, and it fried his brain. He always asks “What questions can I help you with today”, so I asked how can I better deal with this anxiety. Just take the meds was his response and finished the 3 minute visit telling me to reschedule an appointment if I needed anything. I finally found a competent doctor that helped me more in my first visit than this supposed doctor did in 3 years. I HIGHLY recommend that you DO NOT see this person. I’m sorry that I ever went to him.

I was a patient for over 6 months. At one point I tried to end my life & in our next session this was shared with him by my SO. He didn’t care much, he also only gave prognosis not diagnosis! Even through all of that I stuck with him, before he let me go as a patient for missing an appointment (which I called to cancel prior ) . He won’t help, save, or tell you what is wrong with you.

Communication skills are super crude and abrupt. But he is very accurate and smart in diagnosing and treating mental illnesses. I just wish his communication skills in office would be compassionate.

Until Dr Klapschar recently left the practice, I tolerated the rest of the place. Crossing your fingers every time you left a message on the refill request line etc. But after she left I was told I’d be seeing a “Dr” Snavely. For my first experience with him, I thought my appointment time was 8:30. Apparently it was at 8? Even though their office hours clearly say they open at 8:30. So, I was told I wouldn’t be seen when I showed up at 8:15 that day. Fine. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong. However, when I requested a refill for my anxiety medication I was told he would not send it because he hasn’t seen me. I’d been taking this medication via Dr Klapschar for well over 3 years, but this man, would rather punish a patient that made an honest mistake by refusing them their medication. After being on the phone with the woman that sends refill requests for a while, she was able to get him to send in a partial request. Then comes my next scheduled appointment that same week on Friday at 8:45. I woke up with a sore throat and low fever. I called at 8:30, when they’re supposed to be open. I got the “this office is currently closed” message until 8:37, when I asked to reschedule, as they do not let you come if you’re sick, obviously. I called today to request a refill till I could see him at my appointment next month that they scheduled me for, and was told he refuses to see me because I “no showed” twice! Interesting… This man is a joke of a Dr, the staff make you feel bad about yourself and I am so happy to have the push I needed to be done with them.

He has no empathy or compassion. He lies. He makes me wantvto commit suicide. If he is how mental health is handled, why live?

He wasn't helpful at all. He didn't seem to care about me or my concerns.

If I could leave a 0 I would.

I think he is a caring doctor he listened to me. But he is so green and doesn't know what he is doing. Many doctors don't know what there doing but he really doesn't. These drs literally don't know side effects or merely anything about the drugs but how to prescribe them. They are legal drug dealers. I was on a med for 4 years he ok me to get off abruptly said there would be no issue. Literally went through 12 drugs that year. Was a roller coaster. I wouldn't suggest meds at all been on for 10 years. Feel worse now than before. If you clean up your diet and figure out underlying issues you will recover. But your not gonna live optimal quality of life ever on these drugs.
