Was highly impressed with doctor and the staff. I especially liked how quickly they got me in for my scan and got me rescheduled for next test. Staff was so kind courteous and helpful. I could not be more pleased with the treatment I received at the Heart Institute at Providence.

My interactions with this provider have always been pleasant. This provider has been kind and nonjudgmental during our interactions. I'm sorry that he is retiring and I wish him all the best.

I felt Dr Schmoker was very professional and caring doctor. He answered my questions in a way I understood. He also is looking for a way to take care of my heart issue without doing by pass surgery.
