    This is my second year seeing Dr.Schachel, and I am very impressed. She comes into the room with knowledge about your previous medical history and any test or treatment that needs be updated or rescheduled. She is compassionate and caring and sensitive to your needs.

    She is a fabulous doctor!
  • Aug 21, 2026
    This was my first visit with Dr. Priti Schachel, and I was very impressed by how attentively she listened to me and thoroughly explained my medical history and upcoming treatment plan. In the past, I had not felt comfortable going to the OB-GYN, but this experience was completely different. Dr. Schachel changed my perspective through her gentle, respectful, and compassionate approach.She made me feel at ease throughout the exam and took the time to address my concerns with patience and care. I will definitely be returning to see her and will gladly recommend her to my family and friends. She is truly a wonderful and pleasant physician.

    Very much appreciate Dr. Schachel's time and care about my gynecological problems. It is a refreshing change from my former doctor. I feel like I have a partner and we're going to get these problems resolved, I feel like we are actually making progress towards that goal.

    Dr Priti was very good. My Ob/Gyn of 25 years retired a few years ago and I've been searching for a replacement . I may have found one in Dr Priti.
