So far I have only good things to say about dr. Shmith.
I love Dr. Schmidt. She is thorough about explaining what we are doing and why.
The discussion about my ongoing treatment contained a lot of information. I was a little overwhelmed with trying to remember all of it.
She knows her stuff and I feel very comfortable with her and you can tell she wants the best for you. Love her
Dr. Schmidt was wonderful treating my prostate cancer. The surgery went very well, and another great thing about Dr. Schmidt and her team is that you feel cared for - that dealing with the cancer effectively and expeditiously is just as important to them as it is to you.
Dr. Schmidt is a skilled and caring surgeon.
She was concerned about my health and my worries. Explained my situation and all of my options. Clarified expectations from treatments side effects and available help
Thank you much for your explanation and knowledge, thank you for your compassion for your patients. You are the best. That day you made it that I need to keep going!
Bogdana Schmidt, was very caring and professional, made me feel like I was important and my life mattered. She showed me that she cared about me as a person and not a number. Thanks for asking me how I was doing and showing me that my life matters. I wish all doctor's was as positive as you and cared as much as you do. Thanks again!!!!
Very caring and professional. Completely prepared for the appointment. Took the time to explain everything.
Dr. Schmidt has provided excellent and compassionate care for me during this difficult time. I recommend her without hesitation.
I am so blessed to have Doctor Schmidt as my doctor. From day one she was very much in touch with my concerns and outcome with my cancer.

Well, she a very good person. I trust her surgical procedures. I had three general anesthesia surgeries last year in 2024 and she followed me through all that she had zoom calls with me. She mentored me and help me understand things that I have not even thought about Huntsman should be very happy to have her on their surgical team. I am just one of probably thousands of people that have had Care but thank you.
I have truly felt that Dr Schmidt cared about my problem that I am experiencing. She made me feel very comfortable in talking about my issues so that I could get the answers to my my questions.
Very knowledgeable, willing to spend time & answer questions. Kind & respectful.

As noted in the response to the questions she was very thoughtful and considerate as well as stated that I could contact her in the future as necessary about my progression of recovery

Very professional and informative
She is friendly, informative, and efficient in her treatment of me.
Dr Schmidt is engaging, caring, understandable and a delight to have as a caregiver.
I like her alot but she seems rushed to get to the next person. She explains what is going on and what to expect. What I don't like and not her fault is getting my biopsy scheduled in a timely manner. I have cancer, and the scheduling department doesn't seem to care. To only have one day a week doing the biopsies is just not acceptable. Huntsman cancer institute is supposed to be one of the premier cancer institute in the country.
She's just awesome. Candid, thorough, professional.
Very good.
I have referred several friends to Dr. Schmidt. And I will continue to do so!
Very attentative, listened to my questions, helped me understand the options.

Dr. Schmidt is amazing, I feel very lucky to have her as my doctor. I wish she was my daughter. She is probably fun to be around.
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. So, Dr. Schmidt, thank you for being my Doctor and making me CANCER FREE!!!

Very professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic in caring for patients.
She is incredibly aware of retired people's lifestyle and helping in every way to provide the medical service that doesn't interrupt it, but gives the required treatments. She worked very hard at that for us! She couldn't have made more effort!
She is the best when it comes to urology cancer care!
As this was my first appointment, so far very impressed.

I cannot image a better doctor to take care of me than Dr Schmidt. She is now the standard I will gauge every doctor in my future against.

Dr. Schmidt is the best physician I've encountered. She has been a blessing to me. She's professional, skilled and as compassionate a doctor as I've met. Highly recommend her for urological cancer care.
So obviously skilled and reassuring. I went into the OR with complete confidence. And the surgical path report proved her skill. She made sure to include my wife as one would hope to have their loving caregiver included throughout. We feel lucky to have such close access to Huntsman and a highly skilled surgeon like Dr Schmidt.
Pleasant, friendly and confident. Sense of humor but direct and all business about why you're there. Makes quite sure you understand what the situation is and what procedures are going to happen and why. Invites your thoughts and input to treatment options and encourages questions. You leave knowing exactly what is going on/going to happen. I am in good hands.
The procedures to me were not the procedures I experienced. But I don't blame that on Dr. Schmidt. I could explain at a later time.
Dr. Schmidt is very knowledgeable and seems to take a very reasonable approach to my particular problem. I like her very much.
DR. BOGDANA SCHMIDT, MD., IS A WONDERFUL AND VERY SKILLED PROSTRATE CANCER PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON AND IN MY MIND IS A DEFINITE CREDIT TO HERSELF AND THE HUNSTMAN CANCER HOSPITAL. WHAT A TERRIFIC DOCTOR WHO ANSWERED ALL OF MY QUESTIONS RELATIVE TO MY PROSTRATE CANCER AND ALL THE POSSIBLE TREATMENT OPTIONS. AL HEPLER
Care about patients and listens to their concerns. Doctor you can trust to take care of your needs.
Dr. Schmidt has always had such a great attitude and she communicates complicated issues clearly and in a way that the patient can understand. She's a rock star!
Highly recommend Bogdana Schmidt, MD. Compassionate and caring and wants the best for all her patients.
She is just an all-around wonderful doctor and surgeon. So grateful that she's the one that took the Kidney that had cancer in it out of me I would have not asked anybody else to do it. She just takes care of her patience and the people she works for such a great facility and Doctor.
Dr. Schmidt is very knowledgeable on the subject and has a great way of informing people of the complexities of issues, without alarming them.
Dr. Schmidt was a breath of fresh air in what I've come to consider a pretty much uncaring medical world. She was interested in me, my problem, and how things could be done to improve my life. I strongly recommend her and the clinic.
Dr. Schmidt is my favorite among many doctors I've seen. She did an excellent job on my surgery and at follow up she makes me feel like she's treating me as a person rather than treating a disease. Excellent doctor and person.
She is a very knowledgeable and very courteous person. I am glad to be her patient.
Dr. Schmidt is excellent.

Very impressed!
I chose Dr. Schmidt as my surgeon when it was determined that I had prostate cancer in the winter of 2022. She was very helpful in my decision as to a course of treatment. She performed the surgery in October 2022 and has assisted me in my recovery.
Dr. Schmidt was very pleasant to deal with, and her hands are warmer than Dr. Sanchez's!
She became my bladder surgeon accidentally after Dr. Sanchez had a skiing injury. She executed a surgery that preserved my bladder, as I had explicitly requested. She understood my goals and has given me every chance to achieve them. I am tremendously grateful!
Excellent help & support. Very knowledgeable & informative. Very compassionate & caring.
Dr. Schmidt is an amazingly talented surgeon. Thanks to her professional experience and training I was able to receive care like none other. Aside from her skills as a surgeon, her interpersonal skills and are exceptional. I always felt comfortable with Dr. Schmidt and her constant presence throughout the entire process, to include recovery, was both calming and appreciated.
I appreciate her professionalism and her kindness while explaining options, processes, and possible short and long-term effects. She didnt make me feel rushed and was very helpful with her matter-of-fact explanations. I feel a lot of confidence after consulting with her.
Dr schmi
I would recommend Dr. Schmidt to anyone. I have the utmost confidence in her skill and experience. She is extremely easy to talk to and I feel like she always has plenty of time for whatever questions I have.
my wife and Ali both felt she was extremely competent, knew what she was doing and was keeping my best interest at heart. I had seen two other surgeons regarding my prostate cancer and she was totally differently on bedside manner knowledge and skill.
I very much appreciate her expertise and experience.
I have had two consultations with Dr. Bogdana Schmitt and received valuable information that has helped guide me in making very important decisions regarding my health. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
When you are told you have cancer, it is frightening and the beginning of a new journey in life. When I first met Dr. Schmidt and we discussed my cancer, she was very respectful, caring, compassionate, and I felt very comfortable with her knowledge. Dr. Schmidt told me during my first visit "we will take good care of you here" and I knew she was truly sincere. She and her assistant, Jasmine. are always so pleasant, respectful, considerate, caring and make me feel comfortable when I have my appointments/testing. Dr. Schmidt always asks how I am doing, if I have any concerns or questions and is great is addressing them. I am so thankful that I have Dr. Schmidt as I truly feel that I am in good hands with her care.

She's very kind and explains things very well. She is an expert in her field
Even though her surgical involvement in my case has ended, Dr Schmidt insists on remaining involved in my medical oncologic care. This is unheard of in today's medical systems! She learned from the best--Dr Chris Dechet--and has improved on his already high standards!
