UofU Patient May 04, 2013
Good experience
UofU Patient April 29, 2013I left the office with no clear answers about my condition
UofU Patient April 28, 2013Dr. Schmidt is the best Neurosurgeon I have found. When my insurance did not cover him, I found that out the hard way.
UofU Patient April 22, 2013Dr. Schmidt is very competent, personable, easy to understand, and efficient.
UofU Patient April 08, 2013Dr. Schmidt was humble, kind and caring. Not at all arrogant or condescending. Thoroughly liked and appreciated him and his manners.
UofU Patient March 19, 2013Dr. Schmidt has my utmost confidence. He has shown availability, explaned everything to my understanding
UofU Patient March 18, 2013Great staff you have
UofU Patient March 05, 2013Dr. Schmidt agreed to see me in between surgical cases and did a very complete exam and calmed my worries about the meninigioma that was just discovered on my MRI. He took the time to explain the findings on the scan to me and the treatment options.
UofU Patient March 04, 2013I have chiari, and it has been such a struggle to find healing- I have great confidence in Dr. Schmidt as a neurosurgeon, but I don't know that I have great confidence in anyone right now as far as my chiari is concerned. Right now treatment is just trial and error, and I appreciate Dr. Schmidt's willingness to at least try to figure out my problems and find a solution.
UofU Patient March 04, 2013I appreciated that he looked at the CT scans before coming in to see me, but it would have been nice to know that that was what he was doing.
UofU Patient November 19, 2012Thanks for the great experience
UofU Patient October 08, 2012I was very impressed with the time he took to answer my questions. It was also helpful that he too suffers from migraine headaches, I felt he could "relate" to me.
UofU Patient August 27, 2012Dr Schmidt was wonderful. Very personable and informative . He clearly explained and showed us the findings on the MRI and put our minds at ease. He also has a great sense of humor!
UofU Patient August 27, 2012I love Dr. Schmidt! Being a care provider myself, I have high expectations and Dr. Schmidt always exceeds those expectations. Dr. Schmidt is positive and he quietly and in an unassuming way helped me beyond belief. The words on this page seem inadequate to say how his knowlege and expertise helped me resume my normal life.
UofU Patient August 21, 2012He took so much time explaining it to me and then we decided together if I should do the surgory or not. I didn't understand what was wrong with me at first and he made me completely understand what it was and how to fix it.
UofU Patient August 13, 2012I found every aspect of my visit very good. He has been willing to take the time needed to answer all questions, and explain everything very well.
UofU Patient July 03, 2012Our Niece thinks very highly of Dr. Schmidt and we can readily see why. He has given us nothing but the best information and treatment.
UofU Patient April 26, 2012Dr. Schmidt is very professional and serious. I am always laughing and joking...that is how I deal with my problems. I cannot get even a smile out of him. He is great!
UofU Patient April 25, 2012I felt good with his concern and confidence in his accessment! Helpful not in a hurry! And I felt important!
UofU Patient March 30, 2012Both the Doctor and the NP were the best. They both were greatly appreciated. Their personal interest in the problem was impressive. Thank You!
UofU Patient March 29, 2012The provider was excellent in talking to us and making sure that both of us were understanding his explanations.
UofU Patient February 29, 2012I wasn't listened to about my concerns, they got brushed off and pushed to the side.
UofU Patient February 22, 2012Not all of these questions pertained to my recent visit and for that reason I decided not to respond.
UofU Patient February 08, 2012Very positive experience!! Felt MD was very patient with everything and not rushed.
UofU Patient January 12, 2012I felt like I wasn't getting my concerns heard.
