Dr. Michael Schrager takes time to listen and to explain. He is caring and professional with his time and his knowledge, and he gently makes recommendations when needed. He devotes time each week to visit the Marian hospice care home, and he is active in community charities and in mentoring programs.

As a retired RN, I'm very happy to have Dr Schrager as my PCP. He is very kind and personable, very knowledgeable and thorough even during routine checkups. He goes the extra mile to provide information and guidance on any questions I might have. Best of all, he is a great listener, and I never feel rushed during appointments. I highly recommend him to others.
