Liked him at first. Then realized everything was about his ego.

My family doctor sent me in to have one of my arteries checked. It took a while for them to locate the appropriate tests, but Dr. Schlotter took a great deal of his time to explain several things and give me a thorough exam. Very impressive.

There are lots of good surgeons out there. This isn't one of them. Chastises you for asking questions that you've done any reading on your diagnosis. Not well informed about new treatments and options.

Dr. Schlotter is very professional, honest, and trustworthy. You can count on him to tell you the truth about your situation. He did an amazing job on my lipo on my back and waist love handles. I love it so much I plan to return and have him lipo and do a thigh lift on me in the future. And one more thing. I love that when I go to his office I never wait longer than 5 minutes to be seen, I live 45 minutes from his office and he's worth the drive!

Very happy with the results of recent varicose vein treatments. I had big bulging veins in thigh and calf for years and finally decided to see Dr. Schlotter after a coworker had the same procedure. Glad I did. The veins are barely noticible now. Dr. Schlotter said another procedure is avialable, if I wanted, to completely remove the veins but I am happy with the way they look now. He did not try to push the sale, in fact, he recommended against the additional procedure.

I saw Dr. Schlotter for my facial spider veins and ask about possible cosmetic surgery. Having never been to a surgeon to discuss cosmetic issues I wasn't sure what to expect. I have to admit that I expected to leave the office feeling worse about my appearance, expecting the doctor to tell me all the things he could "fix". To the contrary, Dr Schlotter made me feel comfortable and better about my body than when I went in. I would recommend him to anyone thinking of cosmetic surgery. You will not be disappointed with him or his staff.

Might be fine for male patients. Women, especially breast cancer patients, should avoid. Didn't fully inform me of my diagnosis or my options. Extrememly patronizing.
