    How was your appointment with Dr. Schuhknecht?

    Mar 30, 2023
    He literally helped take a big load off my feet! Thanks to Dr. Schuhnecht and his very friendly staff at Niles Weight Loss Center, my life has been changed forever for the better. Dr. Schuhnecht is a very caring and concerned doctor, especially when it comes to his patients. He always listened to me about any questions or concerns I had, and was very thorough explaining things to me. And his staff was absolutely the best as well. Always polite and friendly, and made me feel comfortable at every visit.
