"I researched a plastic surgeon shortly after I was told I had skin cancer on my lip. The Dr I was seeing said that I would have a very noticeable scar. I found Dr. Schmidt and read his credentials and decided I wanted him for my Dr. I was very impressed with his bed side manner and he always made me feel comfortable and confident. He did a wonderful job on my surgery and after a few months now, it looks great and some tell me they don’t even notice it. Thank you, Dr. Schmidt, I will always come back if need be, and you are a wonderful Dr. Also, I would like to say that everyone in his office has been very nice and helpful with everything regarding questions, rearranging when I have been late for an appointment as I live 100 miles away. Thank you to everyone."
