Best Dr. I've ever been to. Been seeing him over 20 years. He can diagnose most things right away. I wouldn't trade him for anything!

Dr. Schlitt is a highly compassionate, and knowledgeable Doctor whose care extends well beyond the doctor visit. He truly holds the care of the patient as paramount to his vocation. I (and my family) wouldn't know what to do without him.

I've had many Physicians over the years and Dr. Schlitt ranks number one in my book. Not only is he my primary care Physician, but a Board Certified Cardiologist to boot! He alway takes as much time as is necessary to review any of one's concerns and also makes himself accessible if you have an emergency and need to get right in. My only concern is he's older than I am and I doubt I'll be able to find another Physician of his caliber. Top notch!!
