Patient Reviews
Oct 24, 2023
Thanks to Dr. Schmidt’s expertise in surgery and his explicit preoperative instructions, I’ve had two very successful operations in the past two years (hernia inguinal 5/21 & hemorrhoidectomy 3/23). His kindness, compassion, patience, and caring attitude is an additional bonus. If you are fortunate to have Dr. Schmidt as your surgeon, be assured that you have chosen the best of the best.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
