Dr Schell explains complicated medical jargon with ease to the average non medical lay person. He is caring, listens attentively to his patients, then prescribes a personalized course of treatment. I highly recommend his services.

Review for Dr. Horwich
He did a rhinoplasty on me and had no business doing it. It was well out of his abilities. I had to wait a year and go to Toriumi to get it fixed.
