Dr. Schiess is the BEST neurologist and I have seen several!! She actively listens to my concerns and needs (mental and physical)! She is extremely knowledgeable about Parkinson's disease! She genuinely cares about my well-being and is always available to answer questions. For non-emergency questions, I found the best way to reach her is by email on the portal. I always hear back within a couple of hours. Thank God I found Dr. Schiess!

I was gifted with the unforgettable opportunity to witness first hand what a real superwoman looks like. Dr.Mya Schiess is an incredible woman who taught me everything I know about movement disorders and neurological diseases. She was kind enough to let me shadow her and she’s a wonderful teacher and Nuerologist I would only recommend the best!
