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.

Caring and special
Dr. Schimmele always makes me feel comfortable and really cares about me and my condition. I am grateful to Dr. Butler for consulting with him and I appreciate everything Dr. Schimmele has done for me. He makes me smile...what's better than that!!??

Greatest Oral Surgeon in Fort Wayne!
Cracked a cap. Needed to have tooth removed. Saw Dr. Schimmele and his wonderful staff. Immediately, knew I was in the right place. Dr. Schimmele is compassionate, competent and an expert at dentistry. He allayed my anxiety the minute he walked into the room. His entire staff was pleasant and comforting; from my entering the office until my exit. Most impressive, was the dental assistant who constantly caressed my shoulder during the dental extraction. That small action was greatly appreciated and kept me calm.I am very grateful to Dr. Schimmele. It’s rare to find an expert dentist in such a small town.D.Y. RN

My Visit To OMSA
Dr. Schimmele and his staff put you at ease from the moment you set in the chair. Dr Schimmele explains what he is going to do in a way that is simple and easy to understand. His staff is friendly and professional giving follow up instructions for home care. I was very pleased.

I was diagnosed with a very rare carcinoma in my lower left jaw in 2019. His level of skill was needed to respect the bone and remove six teeth. He has always went above and beyond. His kind and optimistic attitude made the process so much easier. Just finished my two year follow up and he greeted me like he was a friend. His staff is also all amazing. My heroes!
