    Dr. Schmidt was amazing. Ive been a nurse for almost 30yrs and I cant remember a time Ive personally or professionally Ive seen a physician take such care, concern to explain every detail of a surgery while also including my family member by name, to ensure she understood and felt as comfortable as I did with what was to come. We were both blown away that even simple things such as Dr. Schmidt acknowledging the distance I drove for his appt as well as how far I would need to drive to have testing at a specific hospital. I cant say enough about my visit with Dr. Schmidt. Im so glad I found him. When we left my sister even said, wow, I would let him do surgery on me if I needed it!
