Before embarking on his professional journey, Dr. Snyder attended Louisiana State University, where he earned bachelor's degrees in microbiology and chemistry and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, America's most prestigious honor society. He graduated with his medical degree from the Louisiana State University Medical School in Shreveport, also earning induction into Alpha Omega Alpha.

Colorectal surgery is a field of medicine dealing with disorders of the rectum, anus, and colon. The field is also known as proctology, but this term is now used infrequently within medicine and is most often employed to identify practices relating to the anus and rectum in particular. A colorectal surgeon is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of anorectal and colorectal conditions (conditions of the colon, rectum, and anus).
On a more personal note, Dr. Snyder is a devoted husband and father, living with his wife, Dr. Elizabeth Snyder, and daughter, Helene.
