Patient Reviews
Jan 23, 2017
June 12, 2010, I landed in the trauma bay of Memorial Hermann. I was told that I would have to have surgery to fix a broken bone in my back. Dr. Schmitt was my surgeon. Five days later, I was having that surgery and was up and *walking* before I ever left the hospital. Six years later, my hardware is stable, my scar is almost non-existant, and I owe my life to this man.
