Dr. Schmitz has been a good doctor to me. He has helped me with my health problems and I just appreciate him so much!! If your looking for a doctor who is professional and one that will work with you on your health issues then Dr. Schmitz is the doctor you should choose! He’s professional and he cares. He treats everyone with respect and no matter health problems you face then Dr. Schmitz will work with you to sort it out. I am a hard critic and I don’t trust to many Doctors. But Dr. Schmitz has been so kind. He’s helped me with my health: I’ve had some bad experiences with doctors in my past. So when I found Dr. Schmitz I was pleased!

This is my pcp until he retires. Been seeing him for 20 years. He listens to his Patients and answers your questions. He is a amazing Dr. He saved my life when a Dr in Fort Smith almost took it. Thank you Dr Schmitz.

Contacted Dr. Schmitz's office as was greeted by a very professional and courteous receptionist. Upon the visit, I sat in the waiting room approximately ten minutes and was taken back to my exam room. Dr. Schmitz entered the room approximately 8 - 10 minutes later. He asked relevant questions to determine a diagnosis and prescribed medications. I have visited this doctor on multiple occasions and have found him to be very knowledgeable. His bed side manner is very good and I will continue to use his services.
