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.

Dr. Schmitt is honestly great. He listens, and he isn't a pill-pusher ... you get the sense that he's really working WITH you to find the best approach. He's also quite friendly and remembers things about you outside of the medical aspects, in spite of the brevity of your appointments; it helps with the feeling that he's invested in you, that you're more than just an appointment. I would highly recommend him.

I began to visit Dr. Schmitt 8 years ago. He is kind, professional, genuine, compassionate. He treated me with dignity and respect. Regrettably, about a year ago it is my understanding that he wanted to strike out on his own. More power to him and good luck to him. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help. He is a superior practitioner. Thank you Dr. Schmitt! God bless you! I would happily follow him to his new practice but my insurance doesn't cover him.
