Dr. Schlachterman has a high level of expertise in a minimally invasive procedure called, P.O.E.M., for swallowing disorders. In addition he is an excellent communicator and very personable. I appreciated the time he took with me as a patient and value his expertise and recommendations. I would definitely recommend him as a top gastroenterologist!
