The staff is so friendly with lots of smiling faces to greet you. Some has been there since Dr. Schmidt has started and that’s impressive. Lana obviously cares about her patients and staff and it shows. She took her time with me and made sure that she is getting me the care I need. I had tears of happiness even though my diagnosis is not as such. I would recommend Lana Schmitt to my family, friends, and anyone that needs a dermatologist that truly cares. . She was very professional and thorough. She explained everything leaving me with few questions. Excellent experience for me!
