I’ve been seen by Dr. Schmidt twice and both times instead of fixing the problem he referred me to the pain clinic. I have 4 bulging disc in my back and a pinched nerve. Sciatica and my left foot is numb. Very disappointing. His nurse is great though.

Jun 10, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I had a terrible experience with him. I have been in terrible pain since March and he blew me off and basically said there was nothing wrong with me and there was nothing he could do for me. Terrible bedside manner. I left the office in tears before I could even get to the parking lot. I have dealt with drs in my past that were arrogant because I used to work in surgery, he took arrogance to a whole new level. He was not a nice man because of the way he made me feel. He could have had a little compassion.

Jun 1, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Efficient. Difficulty making initial appointment as person didnt listen to the new information I gave them. I received a call the next week asking for the correct info which I had already given. Initially I was told they didnt take my insurance ce. Their system had several years old info. I gave the new info but apparently the girl went by the old info in their system rather than listening to what I was saying.
Jun 1, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
My primary physician said I have bulging discs and diagnosed me with DDD and Dr Schmidt said it was “normal wear and tear” for someone “my age”. I am confused as never had issues with back pain before and I was in the first ever violent auto accident near the end of last year. This was my first appointment and I felt roundly dismissed and will seek more information from my primary doctor and maybe a second opinion.
May 20, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
It was obvious from the start the Doctor had minimal interest in my case. He didn't bother to know my details and I believe it was because I was too overweight for surgery . I was there to understand my conditions and options and already knew my weight was an obstacle. I came away thinking what a waste of time. Essentially because of my weight, it appeared that he found me to be a waste of his time and didn't fully answer any of my questions. He was obsessively rubbing his thighs as if nervous or anxious to finish. I specifically requested to see him because of his surgical reputation and was hopeful that he would be infornative. I left very disappointed.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I scheduled this appointment after having an MRI. THE NURSE, Heather, was very nice and sincere. The PA showed me my MRI and suggested surgery. The Dr entered the room for about 2 minutes and did not answer any of my concerns. None. And this is exactly what I tell people.

Jan 14, 2026
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Very disappointed, for an initial consult he stood by the door like I was a bother, he never did an assessment and spent about 7 mins with me. He asked about my symptoms then made me feel like a liar. I got no suggestions for relief while I wait up to 6 weeks to see if an injection may help and that wasnt explained to me in how that will help.

Dec 7, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Schmidt and his staff go above and beyond when caring for patients. He took time to listen to us and explained everything in a thorough and understandable way. The receptionist actually rode down in the elevator with us and showed us directions to another appointment. Every single one of them is kind, cari g and competent. Would highly recommend this physician to anyone.
