Alex G. Shindel MD

Dr. Shindel is a miracle Doctor to me. I couldn't eat due to my acid reflux he did an endoscopy several times and I was able to eat again with no problem. I have scleroderma which was part of my acid reflux problem. To me he is a great caring doctor he truly cares for his patients . The office staff is awesome and efficient. Thank you (PHI removed)

Dr. Shindel was professional and explained the steps that we need to do. He listened to me explain my situation and how I've been dealing with it while trying to get answers from another Dr. that just seamed to go nowhere in previous 2 years I first had symptoms.

Staff were very efficient and nice. Place clean. I felt very comfortable in facility. Doctor is great. I went back to him after seeing him 5 years ago.

They treated me very well, thank you.

The doctor was really nice. The front office lead girl doesn't check insurance properly, basically argued with me about checking it. Said she could tell what it is just by looking at the color of the card, which is unacceptable.

Iam very happy and grateful to him and his staff for the time and care they show to me.

We have to pay for parking!!!! NO

He was able to provide some information that I really needed to feel better about my symptoms and my concerns. And he gave me information about some issues that I have with a condition I have. He gave me the information without me waiting to see my regular doctor. So I really appreciate and he took the time to look into it. Thank you.

I would like to say that all the doctors and PIH help that I have are the best. Thank you so much.

The doctor was so caring. He listened to every word I was saying and gave me time to decide things that I wanted to do and yes, he was excellent. I would recommend him to anybody. He's such a wonderful doctor.

Hi, guys. Thank you for taking the time to listen. Thank you for Dr. Alex Shindel. Very professional. Listened to whatever questions I had. I'm not familiar with all the things that have to go on with entomologists, Dr. entomologist. So, he was patient with me, which I really appreciate. And the staff was awesome as well, both the doctor and the staff. Go hand in hand, awesome. The staff was (three names removed), and I think that was it. But Dr. Alex Shindel, you know, just provided, you know, the information I'm unaware of and any questions I had. He was very kind enough to be patient and hear me out. So, thank you, guys, doing a great job. I appreciate it. I would recommend him to

Unfortunately, I thought this was a waste of time, the doctor did not seem to be too knowledgeable of hemorrhoids, had I have known I would not have made this visit, didn't seem to answer my questions regarding the hemorrhoids.

Dr. Shindel is kind, thorough, and makes me feel confident in his care. He explained everything & also made sure to ask me if I had any questions and checked again before we left. I'm happy I was able to see Dr. Shindel. The medical assistant/nurse who took my vitals as well as the appointment front office staff were also very kind and efficient and communicating was great

Caring doctor and staff that treating me respect and kindness. Appreciated all that they did for me.

The whole staff was very professional, courteous, helpful and respectful and always making sure that you were comfortable.

Well organized office. I was out within 25 min.

Yes, he was an excellent doctor, he explained everything very well, the nurses were excellent and I really liked it, thank you.

The staff and nurses were excellent

Not all the physicians at PIH Whittier really listen to you in a way that helps you trust them. Dr Shindel seems to actually care.

I am grateful for the way the entire staff treated me during my procedure. They gave me the confidence to not be afraid of my treatment. Thank you to the nurse, the anesthesiologist, and Dr. Alex Shindel.

Dr. Alex Shindel really takes his time to listen to my concerns and he brings up a plan that will address it. I really appreciate that about him. He's one of a kind here at PIH.

I really like the place there people are really nice and I really like my doctor he's really really nice. Thank you (PHI removed).

Dr Shindell is always available to his patients. His practice often involves a delicate and personal conversation, but he has such a calming presence you start by feeling everything is going to come out fine. Thank you PIH for your choice in Gastroenterologists and thank you so much Dr Shindel (PHI removed)

I showed up at my appointed time only to find out my appointment had been canceled. Had not received notification and had to reschedule 5 weeks from today

Yes, thank you very much, I really liked it and I have always liked the attention of this doctor. I am very happy, he is a good doctor I would recommend.

This is (PHI removed) and I liked how they treated me, they treated me very well and I thank them.

Alex, is a great dr he lets you ask questions and is able to provide feedback on health improvements

Doctor is very friendly, we got to our room quickly.. out quickly.. the whole process was fast but we got all our issues handled thoroughly

All the staff from the front desk to the nurses, the anesthesiologist, and Dr. Alex Schindel were kind, polite, and actually enjoyable to be with. They also seemed highly competent. No one likes to go in for a colonoscopy, but they did everything they could to make the procedure as pleasant as possible.

Yes, I think I pressed the wrong keys. I thought everything for yes was going to be a two and I kind of did it ahead of time and I want to correct all that. I had a great service from the doctor. He was very, very, very attentive to me and my problem and I just want to correct all that and give him the highest score. Okay? Thank you.

Hi, my name is (PHI removed). I went there to the doctor on Friday. Everything was excellent, service was good, and I'm really happy with the service there, especially the doctor was very professional. So I'm really happy, and it's a very nice place to visit. You have a good day. Thank you so much. Excellent work. Thanks a lot. Bye-bye.

The service with the doctor was excellent and the tension of the ladies was excellent, thank you.

Polite, listened of my concern and was very helpful in with I should do to care for myself

Dr. Shindel was very attentive and very professional and I really appreciated his bedside manner. He's a very rare doctor to find, to listen to everything that you have to say. The staff was excellent as well. I did have to wait about a half hour before they called me in, but it was my first appointment so that was probably to be expected. However, it took me over six weeks to get an appointment and that's not acceptable. And it's probably out of his control or the office's control, but I just wanted for the sake of the healthcare entity, I wanted to say that that's not acceptable, that their patient load is so much.

Yes, I was very pleased with Dr. Shindel, my visit there at the doctor, and his staff, everybody was very nice. Thank you.

It was a unique experience, the staff is very friendly, courteous, attentive and above all very professional.

The Medical assistant could of been more pleasant & when she spoke to me she was walking in front of me so I asked her to speak a little louder due to my bad hearing well she didn't I think maybe she was just a bit rude her name was Favolia no interaction as a person working in the medical field. Thank you.

Experience was pleasant and staff was efficient at the same time.

Yes, the doctor on the first one, he did explain to me very well and he spent time with me and I see him as a professional doctor and I would recommend him anytime. He was patient and he was professional.

I felt very comfortable to say what I needed to say to this provider and he did take the time to hear me and then to explain exactly what he wanted to say. He was courteous patient and understanding to my feelings and I appreciate it that very much. Yes I would recommend him. We need more providers that will take the time to do this.

Such an amazing Doctor and staff is equally good. Can't wait to get my mom an appointment. Keep up the great work

I'm very happy with the doctor

Dr Shindel is professional, efficient, caring and has excellent communication skills. Appreciate him and his staff!

Nice Dr., explained to me what he will be doing. Great service..

I felt the doctor has been the most professional one that I've had as he is very attentive and very friendly and (unreadable) is the greatest.

Yes, I was very pleased with Dr. Shindel. First-class doctor, listened carefully to me, was able to speak what I felt and he listened to every word and I really believe he's going to help me. Thank you.

I really like him. He has been a great doctor on my condition. And I'm looking forward to seeing him in three months. Thank you.

I just want to say that both the doctor and the staff were very helpful. Everybody was really nice. We got in on time and he spent enough time with us, so we were really, really pleased. I can't really think of what could have improved. I have a rare brain condition, so I understand that not everybody knows what it is. Other than that, I am fully satisfied. Thank you.

In my opinion, this doctor was very kind, caring, compassionate. He had an excellent bedside manner. He was very thorough. He explained things in a way I could understand. He took time to answer any questions that I had. I appreciate it very much because my experience with my previous provider was not the same. And yeah, this gentleman did a wonderful job. Thank you very much and I hope to continue to be able to see him. Thank you.

Dr. Shindel is very caring and has compassion. He explained everything to me very thoroughly and I appreciate it.

Always greeted and treated with respect and total professionalism.

They told me to be there at 6 a m and I didn't get called in til 7:13 Note: I was the first one there. When I finally asked what was taking so long I was told the nurses do t even get in until 7:00 Not good patient care on that aspect. Keeping notes

My doctor and staff were outstanding. Thank you very much for taking care of me.

The staff was very professional & helpful from the initial sign in to the preparation for my procedure. The Dr was very professional and knowledgeable about my Colonoscopy & explained the finding of my procedure. He explained everything clearly which I understood.

They were very helpful. I was very satisfied. Everybody was very friendly to me. I felt welcomed and I felt comfortable there. Thank you for your service.

The entire office is above and beyoond expectation.

I really enjoyed my dialogue with my doctor. I look forward to being under his care.

When you are in a room with all medical equipment you definitely appreciate a friendly staff to make you feel comfortable specially the nurse that is with you from the beginning to the end, thanks (name removed) keep the good work you do ??

Every thing is good!

Kaiser Permanente not charging the customers for parking

I really liked the attention of the nurses and I really liked the doctor, thank you.

Everyone during my Colonoscopy was exceptional.

If possible, appointments more frequently.

When I was in pre, op, (name removed) took tremendous care of me and had. Great professional abilities. (name removed) is a great asset to the hospital. And I would like to see her if she could receive an award. I heard there is a (name removed) award and I think she is qualified to get it. Thank you.

Yes, I received very good service and I thank you for the very good care. Everything was perfect, thank you very much.

An overall good experience from start to finish.

Pleasant experience with this provider. I felt Dr Shindel care and desire that I stay well and healthy. I feel valued. Thank you.

I am very happy to be a patient of Dr. Shindel, he listens to the concerns I have about my health. And he gives me the best advice, thank you Dr Shindel

Friendly medical staff. Appreciate the refreshments. Very clean & tidy examination rooms.

It was impossible to reach the front desk. When calling in, the message says that the office is closed even during working hours. I waited on hold for a while then was given the option to receive a call back without losing my place in line so I elected that option. Two hours went by and I did not receive a call back. When I arrived at the office the 4 front desk office staff didn't greet me initially and they were standing around just talking about non work-related things. The staff member that took my vitals said she tried to call me to move my appointment and she appeared to be irritated that I didn't return her call (even though I did but couldn't get through). The doctor himself was amazing! He listened intently to everything I had to share and took immediate action to help me get to the root of my problems. He was kind, funny, and caring. He took his time getting my medical history and trying to put the pieces together. He explained things in a way that was easy to understand without talking down to me or making me feel stupid for not already knowing. At the end of my initial assessment I shared with the doctor that he did more for me in that one appointment than any specialist has ever done to help me with my GI issues. I'm very grateful for this health care provider but it would be great if the front office staff was better trained in customer service, tactful communication, and time management to provide higher level service to patients at the front desk. Thank you!

I appreciate meeting my Dr Shindel.This placed confidence and calm in my heart. That He cares about my health. that I'm not just another old person. But, a human being. A woman who has worked hard and raised her children right. I love and trust this Hospital. you treated me with such love and kindness, when I had covid and pneumonia in 2021. Your reputation, precedes you. I always pray for your staff. Thank you ?

I had a great experience with my procedure. It did feel like the wait time from arrival to going in was long. But the staff, Dr. Shindell, Dr. (seven names removed), I think they all did a great job. They were very pleasant. And I would highly recommend your staff and the support team. Thank you and have a great day.

Going to see Dr. Shindel at his office. Dr. Shindel and his staff are excellent. The only thing I have to complain about is if you call and try to make an appointment, it's very difficult to get through. That is all I can say. But it's a 10 for Dr. Shindel and his office staff. Thank you so much. Have a nice day.

Very likable doctor. Experienced.

Dr Shindel set my mind at ease. After seeing other doctors that made me feel unimportant it was a good feeling to finally be listened to. Oh! One more thing that Dr Shindel did that others don't bother with. He actually did a physical exam of my abdomen. Great Doctor!

All the nurses were very kind and very professional and respectful

I think Dr. Alex Shindel is excellent. I would highly recommend him to anybody. There is one girl that works in staff and she helps to schedule appointments and that. There is more than one girl but I don't know this one's name. She was just okay. She was not really friendly and she looked like maybe she was having a bad day but it did reflect on her performance as I was in the medical field. So that's it. Thank you.

Dr. Shindel is very kind, compassionate, attentive, honest. He's the best. He's wonderful.

It took too long for initial appointment which can be improved by shortening the time.

The staff at the... in the place is perfect, beautiful, very cooperative, very informative, very caring. Thank you very much.

The staff was very friendly and made sure to explain to me everything thing they were doing the moment they were doing it

The nurse was very kind and smiled, was friendly. Dr. Shindel was very friendly as well and explained many things. However, the operator, the desk person, speaks too quickly, cannot speak. I could not understand her. I had to call back a couple of times and speak to somebody else. She speaks too quickly and jams her words together and it makes it really difficult in understanding. Thank you. This was the person who ever answered the phone, the receptionist, the operator at the desk, I don't know who it is. She did not give her name. Thank you.

That formula was absolutely nasty. They should come up with something new.

Dr. Alex shindel is very kind caring and professional doctor. He shows he cares about me and my health

I was supposed to have the colonoscopy 3 yrs out from last time. Making that April 2023. Got no reminder notification. Only remembered when my wife did her 5 yr one in Dec 2023. She didn't get a reminder either.

Very good and nice doctor. I recommend him to all my friends and family. And it was quick to see him.

HIS VERY INFORMATIVE AND GETS TO THE PROBLEM IN A VERY EXPERIENCE MANNER.

Dr Shindel n his staff are courteous n kind n professional. I love going there

I definitely want to give kudos to, there's an LVN, they were having difficulty finding my vein, and there's an LVN, she is magnificent, marvelous. I believe she's been working there for quite a while, longer than 10 years. Dr. Shindel is amazing, the most wonderful, best bed side manners, and I really appreciate him and his team. Amazing, amazing.

Nothing. All very well

Dr Neal Shindel so young and very dedicated professional very good I think he will help me take care of my problem Thank you

Not a long wait

I am very satisfied with the service they are providing us with there. It is definitely very good.

Dr. Shindel is very personable and he makes me feel very comfortable, and all the staff is awesome. Thank you.

Yeah, I was very pleased with the doctor. He listened to me. I felt he had time for me and, yeah, explained things and definitely the office was very punctual with timing and everything. I was very, very impressed.

Everyone at the office was super helpful and nice. Everyone that would walk by my bed was always checking if I was ok or needed anything.

The staff doctor is excellent and the doctor above all is very excellent and a very good doctor. I would highly recommend him, I love it when he helps me, he explains everything and pays a lot of attention to everything, still thanks, Dr. Shindel.

Hello, Dr. Alex Shindel is excellent. My name is (PHI removed) and I would highly recommend the young doctor, Dr. Alex Shindel. I really appreciate the respect and patience and good eye contact and his professionalism. I also want to say that for the past several months I've been getting calls from this very number from Dr. Alex's office about an annual review, that I need an annual person. I do not, I hope I do not get these calls again. I had to call the complaint office at PIH to get it finally corrected. So yeah, I hope that recurring issue is taken care of. Thank you. Usually got here about 6 p.m. each weeknight, Monday through Friday, a phone call from this office from this phone number. Thank you. Goodbye.

I thought the visit was overall very good, and I was seen in a timely fashion, and all the professionals were respectful. Dr. Shindel woke me after the procedure and so I was not able to ask him questions. They occurred to me after I'd been awake for a minute or two, but he was gone and the nurse had to answer my questions. That was the only negative feedback, or feedback that could be improved was that if I'm going to have an opportunity to speak with the doctor, that I should be woken up a few minutes prior, so that I can get my wits about me so that I can ask the provider directly the questions, that I need to have answered. Thank you.

The entire staff were really helpful, very sweet, very nice, accommodated me really well and made me feel really comfortable and safe during the procedure. Thank you all.

My intake nurse, (name removed), was amazing! She made you feel comfortable, added humor to what could have been a stressful time. I felt she was compassionate and understanding. My wife is a nurse so my standard or scale for rating health professionals is pretty high. Thank you for the opportunity.

I am very grateful to the doctor, he has helped me a lot. I am very happy with all the help you have given me.

Understand the patient's condition and provide accurate treatment with a benevolent attitude

Dr Alex Shindel and his staff are always respectful, courteous, and attentive. Doctor never makes me feel rushed or inept. Listens to what I say. And always has helpful suggestions.

Dr was extremely thorough. He made me feel at ease with my concerns. After years of struggling with this, I finally found a Dr that listened. I honestly thought this was how I was going to feel for the rest of my life. Thank you Dr. I wish he could be my primary physician.

Great service, friendly staff, clean facility. Thank you.

It took forever to get an appointment. I had to wait six weeks from the time I called to seeing the doctor. And I had to wait a bit longer in the office than I would have liked.

Nothing. All of the staff was very cordial. Thank you.

The only thing I like to say is that I'm very happy, I'm very blessed with Dr. Shindel. He always answers all my questions by his time. It's funny, I mean, we patients always look for a smiley face. He's the best doctor in his profession. I really, really care and appreciate about him.

Very nice, friendly and concerned. Asked questions, listened to the answers and suggested testing and follow up appointment.

The office staff was really courteous, very clean office, and the doctor Alex Shindel was very very nice, (name removed).

Great nurse and doctor

Dr. Alex Shindel is very caring and professional, with a good sense of humor and just educated me.

I was happy I went. Thank you Dr. Shindel for your help.

Always a good experience. Always on time, good listener and explained when I had questions. Front office was good as always. No problems. Exactly the way a doctor appt should be.

Dr Alex explain it all well

Doctor was very informative to my health issues. I feel very comfortable knowing he listen to my health concerns I have.and he gave me very good feedback for me to remember.
