I waited 18 months for my appointment with Dr. Snapper, and he was absolutely worth the wait. He was right on time, incredibly knowledgeable, and had already taken the time to thoroughly review my medical history before meeting with me. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made sure all of my questions were answered before I left the office. I never felt rushed and truly appreciated the time and care he took. I highly recommend Dr. Snapper to anyone looking for an exceptional physician.

We have waited to see Dr. Snapper for over a year and got worked in on an emergency calling schedule. They had all been so kind every time I had needed to reach out about scheduling and Dr. Snapper was worth waiting. I believe he has found what's going on with me and I look forward to going forward with his treatment plan with me. But he was very kind and it was for it to be such a long wait. It was a very good visit and he was very good. Thank you.

It was definitely worth the commute to get some real answers and solutions to a very difficult case. Dr. Snapper listened and answered all of my questions. He took upmost time and explained everything step by step. I'm so thankful I found him.

It was a phenomenal visit. Everyone was very gracious and kind at the desk and worked well with me. They were helpful. I was called back on time. Dr. Snapper was outstanding, just such a great job. And then they got me in and I was able to get in early for testing that same day. So I just, I got in. They were so kind. Everything about it was just phenomenal. I was just really blown away. Thank you.

Dr. Snapper was well worth the 14 month wait to see him. After 14 months I finally have much needed answers and have high confidence I am now on the right track to feeling much better. Dr. Snapper is very polite, takes time to listen to his patients, and was beyond knowledgeable about POTs, EDS, MACS. I wished every doctor was like him. The staff from the front door to the nurses in the back were all great and kind. I am happy to say I have now found my new Cardiologist.

While I absolutely love Dr. Snapper and his care, yesterday's appointment was really disappointing. He only spent a few minutes with me and only wanted to talk about how I was doing overall not how I was feeling in the moment having several presyncope symptoms. After not seeing him for a year, I thought he'd at least talk about refilling my usual medicines. While we discussed a new one, NONE of my usual medicines (that we had agreed were working) were called in. As a long time patient it was beyond frustrating.

Need to schedule visits a little longer than 5 minutes! Ans give patients time to ask questions about the things that are going on, changes. We wait 3 to 6 months months to see Dr. Snapper for answers and to run test to find out what is going on. Was trying to get referral to mayo clinic in another state for the trial test they are doing to see if it would help. But we wasn't able to say much during the visit. So left for our 3 hour drive home.

Dr. Snapper came into the room yesterday & told me that all the things I've been dealing w/ individually are all related to 1 condition. He told me that by treating this condition, I should be able to start weaning myself off other medications & it sounded like I can start going back to feeling like me again! For 7 years, individual doctors have been treating me, but not 1 put it together that all of my symptoms might be related to something bigger. So for the last 7 years, I started 2nd guessing myself & even started thinking maybe I was becoming a hypochondriac.... but deep down, I knew there was something that was being missed. In less than 20 minutes w/ Dr. Snapper, he made me feel as though there is hope that I can get back to feeling normal again & helped me to realize that I really do know my body best. Thank you, Dr. Snapper for making me feel heard, seen & everything in between!

Dr snapper goes above and beyond. I love that he takes so much time and care looking for the root cause and changing his approach. And he listens to every concern. It's addressed. And we move to the next concern. I think he may be the #1 most in demand dysautonomia doc in the world today! I appreciate that he's trying to train as many other doctors as possible, as well as expanding his own practice to meet the post-COVID demand.

The only problem I encountered was from whom I was getting the paperwork from to take with me; no one specified (nurse or front desk), a little confusing.

I explained that I am pending disability. I make less than $400 a month. I don't have AC. The medication he has prescribed requires pre-authorization. The office refuses to assist with it. His staff called me back and said "it is only $14/mo". I understand 14 may not be a lot to most people, but it is more than I can afford and I find that to be incredibly insensitive.

The whole team was very considerate and thoughtful and I was very fortunate to have been connected to Dr. Snapper because he knew exactly the conditions and situations I was experiencing and didn't minimize them like other doctors have and gave me kind of straightforward options on what I can do and what I can manage and what I can't change. So I appreciate that.

Comments were made that felt completely dismissive. I wanted to take a different approach other than trying more/new prescription anti-anxiety med. Was told seeing a neurologist would be a waste of time and that the only one familiar with POTS/MCAS was located in Buffalo, NY. That is simply true. I'm finished with this doctor and this practice. He's way too full of himself and only wants to throw more prescriptions at you. I've lost interest in his approach and the way he communicates with his patients.

Dr Snapper is refreshingly candid and offered me 2 diagnoses that I knew I had and could get no other provider to entertain the information for 30 years. He saw my daughter the previous week and diagnosed her of the same 2 diagnoses. I enjoy his humor as well and wish there were more doctors with his knowledge everywhere.

Dr. Snapper was amazing. He actually took the time to listen to me and we had a great dialogue. He made me feel like I was worth it and I was important and that how I felt was not accepted, that he welcomed it with open arms.

Dr. Snapper spends most of the appointment justifying his actions rather then focusing on his patients. He needs to learn how to clearly ask his questions in a manner where that patients are able to clearly understand what information he is looking for. For example he got mad at me when he said, let's talk about your pots. And when I started explaining that I've been having a really hard time lately, and it feels like I'm not really living. His response was that, well, I'm talking about your symptoms, and obviously you're living you're here. Which is not the response that you should be giving to a patient that is telling you they feel like they can't live their life due to how this chronic illness is affecting them in combination with the fact that he spent more time trying to justify why he he does not provide patients with certain information, than trying, even a little to help find what my care plan should like. Especially with the fact that these chronic illnesses present themselves differently in each patient. And each care plan should be individualized, not based off of the general population, and what's worked for most of his patients. Especially if those methods are not working for me. For example, I asked multiple times now, over the last course of 2 years, if he knew of anybody that could assist in managing things that he has diagnosed me with and he told me, as well as his PA's, have told me that if I find it to let them know and they'll send the referral over. I have actually been told to Google it on my own, in order to manage things like my hEDS, which means I deal with daily chronic pain, and he tried to justify that because he's not a pain specialist, there's nothing that he can do. All I was asking for was the name of someone who can help seeing as he can access the wellstar database to see if there are doctors who can help treat pain or things like MCAS. He refuses to even bother looking it up. I have to have my primary care doctor do it in order to get the help that I need. If I could switch doctors, I would.

The whole team was very considerate and thoughtful and I was very fortunate to have been connected to Dr. Snapper because he knew exactly the conditions and situations I was experiencing and didn't minimize them like other doctors have and gave me kind of straightforward options on what I can do and what I can manage and what I can't change. So I appreciate that.

Dr Snapper is refreshingly candid and offered me 2 diagnoses that I knew I had and could get no other provider to entertain the information for 30 years. He saw my daughter the previous week and diagnosed her of the same 2 diagnoses. I enjoy his humor as well and wish there were more doctors with his knowledge everywhere.

Dr. Snapper was amazing. He actually took the time to listen to me and we had a great dialogue. He made me feel like I was worth it and I was important and that how I felt was not accepted, that he welcomed it with open arms.

I waited 18 months for my appointment with Dr. Snapper, and he was absolutely worth the wait. He was right on time, incredibly knowledgeable, and had already taken the time to thoroughly review my medical history before meeting with me. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made sure all of my questions were answered before I left the office. I never felt rushed and truly appreciated the time and care he took. I highly recommend Dr. Snapper to anyone looking for an exceptional physician.

We have waited to see Dr. Snapper for over a year and got worked in on an emergency calling schedule. They had all been so kind every time I had needed to reach out about scheduling and Dr. Snapper was worth waiting. I believe he has found what's going on with me and I look forward to going forward with his treatment plan with me. But he was very kind and it was for it to be such a long wait. It was a very good visit and he was very good. Thank you.

Need to schedule visits a little longer than 5 minutes! Ans give patients time to ask questions about the things that are going on, changes. We wait 3 to 6 months months to see Dr. Snapper for answers and to run test to find out what is going on. Was trying to get referral to mayo clinic in another state for the trial test they are doing to see if it would help. But we wasn't able to say much during the visit. So left for our 3 hour drive home.

It was definitely worth the commute to get some real answers and solutions to a very difficult case. Dr. Snapper listened and answered all of my questions. He took upmost time and explained everything step by step. I'm so thankful I found him.

It was a phenomenal visit. Everyone was very gracious and kind at the desk and worked well with me. They were helpful. I was called back on time. Dr. Snapper was outstanding, just such a great job. And then they got me in and I was able to get in early for testing that same day. So I just, I got in. They were so kind. Everything about it was just phenomenal. I was just really blown away. Thank you.

Dr. Snapper was well worth the 14 month wait to see him. After 14 months I finally have much needed answers and have high confidence I am now on the right track to feeling much better. Dr. Snapper is very polite, takes time to listen to his patients, and was beyond knowledgeable about POTs, EDS, MACS. I wished every doctor was like him. The staff from the front door to the nurses in the back were all great and kind. I am happy to say I have now found my new Cardiologist.

While I absolutely love Dr. Snapper and his care, yesterday's appointment was really disappointing. He only spent a few minutes with me and only wanted to talk about how I was doing overall not how I was feeling in the moment having several presyncope symptoms. After not seeing him for a year, I thought he'd at least talk about refilling my usual medicines. While we discussed a new one, NONE of my usual medicines (that we had agreed were working) were called in. As a long time patient it was beyond frustrating.

Dr. Snapper came into the room yesterday & told me that all the things I've been dealing w/ individually are all related to 1 condition. He told me that by treating this condition, I should be able to start weaning myself off other medications & it sounded like I can start going back to feeling like me again! For 7 years, individual doctors have been treating me, but not 1 put it together that all of my symptoms might be related to something bigger. So for the last 7 years, I started 2nd guessing myself & even started thinking maybe I was becoming a hypochondriac.... but deep down, I knew there was something that was being missed. In less than 20 minutes w/ Dr. Snapper, he made me feel as though there is hope that I can get back to feeling normal again & helped me to realize that I really do know my body best. Thank you, Dr. Snapper for making me feel heard, seen & everything in between!

I explained that I am pending disability. I make less than $400 a month. I don't have AC. The medication he has prescribed requires pre-authorization. The office refuses to assist with it. His staff called me back and said "it is only $14/mo". I understand 14 may not be a lot to most people, but it is more than I can afford and I find that to be incredibly insensitive.

Dr snapper goes above and beyond. I love that he takes so much time and care looking for the root cause and changing his approach. And he listens to every concern. It's addressed.

Comments were made that felt completely dismissive. I wanted to take a different approach other than trying more/new prescription anti-anxiety med. Was told seeing a neurologist would be a waste of time and that the only one familiar with POTS/MCAS was located in Buffalo, NY. That is simply true. I'm finished with this doctor and this practice. He's way too full of himself and only wants to throw more prescriptions at you. I've lost interest in his approach and the way he communicates with his patients.

Dr. Snapper spends most of the appointment justifying his actions rather then focusing on his patients. He needs to learn how to clearly ask his questions in a manner where that patients are able to clearly understand what information he is looking for. For example he got mad at me when he said, let's talk about your pots. And when I started explaining that I've been having a really hard time lately, and it feels like I'm not really living. His response was that, well, I'm talking about your symptoms, and obviously you're living you're here. Which is not the response that you should be giving to a patient that is telling you they feel like they can't live their life due to how this chronic illness is affecting them in combination with the fact that he spent more time trying to justify why he he does not provide patients with certain information, than trying, even a little to help find what my care plan should like. Especially with the fact that these chronic illnesses present themselves differently in each patient. And each care plan should be individualized, not based off of the general population, and what's worked for most of his patients. Especially if those methods are not working for me. For example, I asked multiple times now, over the last course of 2 years, if he knew of anybody that could assist in managing things that he has diagnosed me with and he told me, as well as his PA's, have told me that if I find it to let them know and they'll send the referral over. I have actually been told to Google it on my own, in order to manage things like my hEDS, which means I deal with daily chronic pain, and he tried to justify that because he's not a pain specialist, there's nothing that he can do. All I was asking for was the name of someone who can help seeing as he can access the wellstar database to see if there are doctors who can help treat pain or things like MCAS. He refuses to even bother looking it up. I have to have my primary care doctor do it in order to get the help that I need. If I could switch doctors, I would.

Wellstar Autonomic Center Expands Care for Autonomic Disorders
For people with autonomic disorders, finding treatment can be difficult. With only a few specialized programs in the country, getting care can require traveling a long distance.
However, patients in Georgia can access this crucial care close to home. Wellstar Cardiovascular Disease Specialist Dr. Howard Snapper, who sees patients in
Woodstock,
is one of fewer than 50 physicians in North America certified to diagnose and treat autonomic disorders.
Autonomic disorders, including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), involve the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary body functions like heart rate, temperature, sweating and digestion.
When people with POTS move from sitting down to standing up, their heart rate increases by about 30 beats per minute, but their blood pressure doesn’t change. This sudden increase can lead to dizziness or fainting. Most patients with POTS are younger women about 13 to 50 years old.
“Autonomic disorders are not that rare—about 2 to 3 million people in the country are affected—but they are often underdiagnosed because the symptoms can indicate other conditions,” Dr. Snapper said. “It can also be difficult to get the proper diagnosis and treatment to start improving these conditions.”
Dr. Snapper sees patients from as far as California, and Wellstar has one of only two autonomic disorder programs in the Southeast. With the addition of two new advanced practice providers, the program at Wellstar now has increased capacity and can help more patients live healthier and more comfortably.
To schedule an appointment with Dr. Snapper, call (678) 324-4400.
