My first doctor's appointment was supposed to be with Dr. Miles. Things never worked out for me to meet him, so I choose to go with Dr. Schmitt. My first impression of Dr. Schmitt was that I felt comfortable with him. He seemed to really care about what was best for me. The office staff was super nice. They have always been willing to help me understand things. Seem to be very patient also. I had a consultation with Dr. Schmitt on the 23, I actually felt like I was his only patient. He came in and answered all of my questions and never once made me feel like any of them were stupid. He took the time to be thorough and explain things on my level. I was very pleased with his concern and felt more comfortable about having surgery.
My first visit was scheduled with Dr. Miles on May 18th, but I saw Dr. Schmitt since Dr. Miles was in surgery. Dr. Schmitt was very straightforward about the risks and the changes that would take place in my life. I think his staff are very nice, but I do think they definitely need some more help in the office. When I have called them, they usually don't return my calls. But I saw how busy they were when I was in there, so I didn't let it bother me.
