It was very disorganized doctor was great the lady at front desk look like she was aggravated about me trying to get a follow up appointment. Very unfriendly
August 27, 2023William P.Verified patient
My doctor DR. DANIEL SCHMITT is extremely personable, He explained every detail; and answered every question. He did not make me feel rushed he also gave me options for me to choose not for him to decide any particular treatment. He explained both pros and cons of the decisions that I would be making letting me decide over time and not be pressured into making one immediately at my appointment. I WOULD MEND HIM TO ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN A FORMER ATHLETE IN THEIR LATER YEARS OR STILL EXTREMELY ACTIVE OR ANY YOUNGER ATHLETE AS I USED TO BE. THIS IS HOW MEDICINE SHOULD BE

I like the fact that the doctor knew what I was there for and he ordered the X-Rays that he needed to see before he came into my room. (They do the X-Ray at the office) When he came into my room he knew what was going on with me and answered all of my questions.
March 26, 2023Jeannine K.Verified patient
I was in such pain prior to my visit with Dr. Schmitt. He was so nice, so knowledgeable and so understanding of my pain. I can't say enough good things about my experience. If it was ethical I would have jumped up and kissed this guy. Even the staff was exceptional! This senior citizen came in pain and left wanting to dance a jig. Look forward to my next visit. Go TEAM.
