My husband and I have see Dr. Schmidt for approx. 12 years. Always seems concerned and has treated us very well. We do not, however, agree with his office staff. They have been very rude at times and not very professional. We went to him because of him and not his office staff. I am sure his was unaware of what was going on.

He is a fine doctor, but the office staff is terrible. Inefficient, rude, and incompetent. I switched doctors due to the long wait in the lobby, the bad attitudes, and the lack of communication. I go to Gill's Family Medicine now, and it's much better.

He's arrogant and not caring. He belittles patients. If I could rate him with no stars, I would.

Quack. Clueless. The complete opposite of everything a great doctor should be. He is by the worst 'doctor' I've ever had the displeasure of meeting.

The doctor is wonderful, caring and considerate. He listens and answers your questions. I'm losing weight and he's very thoughtful and kind when he congratulates you on your weight loss. His staff are all pleasant and very friendly. Waiting time is not long at all. He always has a smile on his face. I have never had a doctor like Dr Allen Schmidt before. I feel very comfortable, and know he will do his best to keep you healthy He's number one is my book!
