I had an excellent experience with the gentleman who was a medical assistant, the student assistant, and Dr Nicole Schmitt. The doctor explained her findings and the possible reasons for pain. We discussed procedures available and next steps to take. She was so personable, kind, and explained my medical issue in language a patient could understand. Dr Nicole Schmitt was extremely knowledgeable and answered all questions asked. Though you did not ask, yes, I would drive over an hour in traffic, again, to see this wonderful doctor for my medical issues.
