Dr. Schmitt was wonderful. It's the first time I've ever had him. I liked him very much. He was direct right to the point, but very kind, understanding, and explained everything to me. I'd take him in a second if anybody said that I could have him for my next appointment. I'd say absolutely I'd take him. Thank you.

My care provider is excellent. The only concern I have is that I don't know when he's going to be retiring. It'll be a shame. And I don't have much to say as far as your hospital emergency rooms, where I spent 14 hours in there before even getting seen with my mom not long ago. But as far as him, personally, he's the best there is, or the best you guys have. And I would recommend him to anybody. However, I will not recommend other people. And your nurse staff is great too, also.

The only issues that I had with the care provider were that it didn't seem like my chart had been thoroughly reviewed. He was unaware of some conditions that I have chronically and some of the medications that I'm on. And then a comment was made about if I have true narcolepsy. And it is in my chart that I have been diagnosed with [redacted] for over 15 years and It made me feel like he wasn't believing what I was saying about my own medical history, which is in my chart. Otherwise, he was fairly thorough. He did put in the notes things about the rash being on my hands and I had actually explicitly said that the rash is not on my hands. So that made me feel like I wasn't being listened to carefully. But he did explain everything pretty thoroughly [redacted]
