“I have never had a primary Doctor, so was nervous about finding one for the first time. In the past I have had a pediatrician who I saw well into adulthood, then an OB Doctor, and my annual physicals were always done through work. Dr. Schimke was wonderful. She was easy to talk to, listened intently to my concerns, and gave extremely helpful advise. I felt comfortable as soon as I walked in the doors, the staff was kind, atmosphere was welcoming, and the visit went well. ”

Verified patient
I have been a 7 year Kaiser patient. I no longer have that insurance plan. We now have Aetna. I was very worried about all my current health history transferring over to the new provider. Also starting a new relationship with a Doctor. Dr Schimke was great, friendly and asked questions and clarified treatment plan. She is very thorough and took her time with me to ensure all my questions and concerned were answered. I look forward to my next appointment and building a great patient Doctor relationship. Also all my health history transfer to SCL health system, that was a huge relief. I am so glad I selected Dr. Schimke she is awesome!
