Dr. Schmidt is so professional with a bit of a witty humor. She was so upfront with me on my first visit and told me like it was and told me the entire process I was going to be going through. Before surgery, she came into the prep room and gave me a thumbs up and said 'I GOT YOUR BACK' Having been a police officer for 37 years, myself and all my fellow officers LIVED BY THAT MOTTO EVERY DAY which gave me a great sense of security.

fabulous doctor, truly cares and listens intently, excellent about explaining things to you, very respectful of your opinion and feelings, could not have a better physician to manage care, never feels like she is in a hurry and is very patient, extremely knowledgeable and concerned about your situation and health and fears. She instills confidence and hope in you by her calm and concerned demeanor. Would not consider anyone else to treat my issues.
