Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

When I was seeing her for the basic wellness check ups and yearly physicals, she was an ok Doctor. When I stared having actual health concerns, things quickly went south. I was diagnosed by another doctor of having a chronic pain disorder that she wrote off for years, she compared me to Whitney Houston for taking low does of tramadol. She treats me like I'm an addict and stopped my meds (that she didn't perscribe) that I've been taking for almost a year. Calling Monday for a new doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Schmidt for twenty something years. I recently retired and had a short lapse in my insurance while I was purchasing new insurance. During that time I had an appointment with her that I decided to keep and just pay for it out of my pocket, and as soon as they found out I didn't have insurance, they immediately started treating me like a criminal. They said I should probably go to one of the poor people clinics, and the doctor never even came into the room

She is too busy. You will have to wait months to get in. Her office assitant usually calls you fast, but she does not ask or tell all that you need to know.

She is a good doctor but her new nurse has no people skills. She does not like children. Also if you are there to resolve any issues regarding billing she will walk pass you like she does not know you. I was amazed when I called to say my son was changing doctors they never asked why or seemed liked they care. They run to much like a business and forget they are dealing with people. I found a new doctor and from the office ladies to the doctor is a night and day experience.
