Today was my first visit to the Schneider's office. I can see why they have raving reviews. Dr Schneider and his staff were great! They made sure you understood what was going on every step of the way and always made me feel at ease, especially for someone like me who doesn't prefer going to the dentist office

I have been going to this dental group since moving to Mission Viejo 7 years ago, and my experience has always deserved a 5 star rating... I have been under the care of many dentists in my 82 years, however, none of them have come close to Dr.Kurt Schneider....He is the very best in every way, and his entire staff deserve a 5 star rating.

Dr. Schneider is a phenomenal dentist! He and his entire team are caring, compassionate, and go above and beyond to make patients feel comfortable. I just had an appointment this morning. Upon walking in you smell fresh baked cookies. Which they bake in the office EVERY DAY! They think of every little detail to make you feel more at home and relaxed for your dental procedures. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Schneider and his team. I have had a lot of dental work in my life...and he has been top notch!

As always, I had an excellent experience when I had my regular cleaning done by Jeannie at Dr. Schneider's office . She is very thorough and explains everything in detail. She is very professional and pleasant. Dr. Schneider's office is very orderly and well managed.

I really don't like to go to the dentist. I had a new hygienist today and I absolutely loved her Renee. She was so kind and gentle and made sure I was OK since going to the dentist gives me anxiety. Thank you for having such a wonderful staff

Amazing experience - first time at Dr Schneider . I had chipped my big tooth and my regular dentist was out of town . I didn't even realize that he had given me the anesthetic shot - no sting or pinch of the needle - his assistant Tiffany was very friendly as was Michelle the office administrator . Beautiful office , relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff - thank you

Dr Schneider and his entire staff have taken meticulous and very kind care of me for over ten years. From knowledge about medical care for a Type One Diabetic, to jaw alignment which stopped years of migraines, to a properly built implant, to beautiful veneers, to cleaning and gum care... this team has done it all and I have been very pleased.

I had a full set of veneers done about 23 years ago by Dr. Schneider. I've just had them re-done in Germany and have to say that my dentist here who is one of the best, specializing in cosmetic dentistry, was very impressed and complementary of the work. These were veneers that were at the time hopefully lasting 7-15 years. He said the skill required to make them, and also the shaping and all of the tiny details that go into creating them were some of the best he has seen. (And quite honestly...this is what every dentist has told me) My dentist here even took the time in very great detail to tell me why they were so good and a bit about dental history...so he really appreciated the craftsmanship. He also said the Dr. had quite some foresight to not grind down my teeth so much, which helps for future dental health. I got these after a traumatic dental experience from someone else. I know this was a long time ago, but without being too dramatic, Dr. Schneider really changed everything around for me and I think the results really impacted my life and confidence (I was a teenager). I have to admit that the last 6 years I had been dreading anyone replacing the veneers, especially abroad. But I just had to write this review to say that he's really a great dentist and had I lived in the US and not in Corona times I would have considered flying to him to do my new veneers just for peace of mind. So, consider yourself lucky if you have him nearby.
