Everyone is very kind and helpful

Provider was knowledgeable and kind. We felt like he genuinely cared and wanted us to understand how to care for the injury.

Dr. Schrader has been thorough, trustworthy, honest, professional, compassionate and patient with (Patient) since she met him. We appreciate his interest in her as a person. We appreciate his encouragement with her condition. We are happy for him being about to retire, but we are sad more kids won't have the opportunity to meet such a wonderful doctor as he is. Thank you, Dr. Schrader for caring for (Patient)...and for me!

We had a very awesome experience the other day at Akron Children's. My daughter was very comfortable and information was given to us very highly. Great response. All our questions were answered. I highly recommend again and thank you.

I was very happy with the care that Dr. Schrader provided, period. I also thought that (Staff name) did a good job in assisting the visit, period. It is very important to me that my child can see an MD or DO physician at all of their visits and thankfully Akron Children's has this as an option. So I appreciate that greatly. Thank you.

The Nurses and Techs were great, so quick. We were seen so quickly, and the Doctor listened to us, and gave us quick treatment and support. We felt like we were in good hands in my child's treatment. You can tell the Doctor is passionate about his field.

Like them very much
