NEW OWNERSHIP AGREEMENT!!
Starting on February 25, 2008 Dr. Schindler's
practice will be owned and operated by a
corporation linked with Lakeway Regional Hospital
in Morristown, TN. This change was made after much
thought and prayer. It is his hope that this change
will bring expanded service, financial stability
and additional staffing to the practice. It is his
hope that the prompt and quality service, easy
access to him personally and small town flavor of
the practice will be retained. In the end his
desire to remain in White Pine drove the decision
to parter with someone who was committed to allow
that to occur.
During the transition please let us know problems you encounter so we can fix them as soon as possible. Bills will reflect the new ownership. Dr. Schindler will in no way be forcing patients to any one hospital in the area because of this change.
We are excited about the new affiliation and hope this can keep our practice in White Pine for years to come!

Insurance
We
currently are accepting all forms of TennCare,
Medicare and private insurance. Please call for a
screening interview by phone as we want there to be a
good fit between us and our patients.
Team Care
We work
as a team trying to keep you healthy and educate you
about health and wellness. You will have easy access
to Dr. Schindler by phone and email but all members
of our team will try to help you with your questions.
Narcotic policy
Dr.
Schindler does not operate a chronic pain service. We
limit the amount of narcotics and other controlled
drugs prescribed and encourage patients with
non-cancer chronic pain to consider choosing another
area physician if those drugs are their main reason
for changing doctors. Those patients on such
medications will agree to random drug testing and
review of medication usage.
Drug Samples and Vendors
We
believe that the use of sample drugs actually is a
wasteful and harmful practice. We do not entertain
pharmaceutical representatives and do not accept any
gifts or samples from drug companies. If you desire
sample medications we encourage you to seek care with
a physician who does receive samples.
Christian Worldview
Dr. Schindler is a Christian. This shapes his
approach to medicine and influences his life. What
he hopes this means for his patients is that he
lives the compassion and moral principles of our
Lord and Savior. He hopes to encourage you in your
spiritual life.
Uninsured Patients
We know that many working people have no insurance.
We are happy to see you and do take cash paying
patients.
Review of New Patients
Dr Schindler or his staff review all requests by
patients to enter the practice. This is done to try
to ensure a good doctor-patient fit. All
prospective new patients are told about our
narcotic and controlled drug policy, our hospital
admission preferences and our hours operation to
ensure no confusion.
