Dr. Schmitt (sp?) took me on as my PCP was not in the office. He was thoughtful, kind, and very focused on the issues I presented. I could not have been more satisfied although at the time I'm not sure that I was in a condition to be able to convey that to him.

Dr. Schmitt is the best doctor in my 3.5 decades of experience. Thoughtful, compassionate, knowledgeable, humble, etc. In my experience, the only doctor who is incredibly punctual. The appointment is at 2 PM, and that's what you will get, 2 PM. He will be available for you. Excellent! I mean, the only doctor in the world. Think about that!

Yes, Dr. Schmitt 's always been very kind, caring, and attentive to all of my medical needs. I owe a lot of my help to Dr. Schmitt because he is always attentive and stays on top of everything. I'm a pulmonary patient and a cancer survivor, and Dr. Schmitt , since I've had him, he's been nothing but attentive to me. I have no complaints with him at all. He's been my crutch. I give him a 10 all around. Thank you. I hope you appreciate him the way I do.

Dr. Schmitt is excellent. I've been seeing him for about three years. And he goes over everything with me. He goes over my descriptions. He has a list of things he has to go through, asks me if I want my shots. And he's an excellent doctor. I've never been so happy as to have him as a doctor. Thank you.

I am extremely blessed to have Dr. Schmitt as my primary care physician. I have been fortunate to call him that for well over twenty years. I was just recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. It was caught early because of a routine blood test that Dr. Schmitt orders because of my age ([redacted]). I have gone through radiation treatment and I am now in remission. During my last visit with him. I thanked him for saving my life, on my behalf and my family's. Thank you again Dr. Schmitt.

My care provider is excellent. The only concern I have is that I don't know when he's going to be retiring. It'll be a shame. And I don't have much to say as far as your hospital emergency rooms, where I spent 14 hours in there before even getting seen with my mom not long ago. But as far as him, personally, he's the best there is, or the best you guys have. And I would recommend him to anybody. However, I will not recommend other people. And your nurse staff is great too, also.

My care provider is Dr. Will Schmitt. He's a very good provider. I have been going to him for years. He knows me well and he goes over my medication and answers all my questions. And as far as the other person that was exceptional was in the lab, the girl, there was something wrong with the computers and she found, she called Dr. Schmitt and made sure she was drawing the right everything and she's very friendly and nice. And I find it very comfortable to go to the High Street Clinic. Thank you and goodbye.

The only issues that I had with the care provider were that it didn't seem like my chart had been thoroughly reviewed. He was unaware of some conditions that I have chronically and some of the medications that I'm on. And then a comment was made about if I have true narcolepsy. And it is in my chart that I have been diagnosed with [redacted] for over 15 years and It made me feel like he wasn't believing what I was saying about my own medical history, which is in my chart. Otherwise, he was fairly thorough. He did put in the notes things about the rash being on my hands and I had actually explicitly said that the rash is not on my hands. So that made me feel like I wasn't being listened to carefully. But he did explain everything pretty thoroughly [redacted]
