I walked into Dr. Schmid's office in January of...
My mother passed away at the age of 52 from ovarian, and my aunt at the age of 40 from breast. Before my Mother's passing in 2011, we had a conversation in regards to what our decision would be if either of us were ever diagnosed. When I was given the news, I was 95% sure of my decision due to that conversation with my late Mother. It was like she was giving me her blessing from above.
When Dr. Dan Schmid, walked into the room he could tell instantly that I was overcome with fear, and had a million questions running through my head. I let him know my family history, and he calmed my fears right away. He went through my entire list of questions, one by one, and gave me complete detailed answers. This was a huge decision, and after first meeting with him, I knew I wanted him to be a part of my team.
He performed two surgeries, surgery #1 was the Nipple Sparing Mastectomy/insertion of tissue expanders in which he partnered with Dr. Pollen (2/12/15) , surgery #2 the expanders were replaced with silicone implants (5/14/15). During both surgeries, Dr. Schmid understood my fears, but always reminded me that I will make it through the rough times. Yes, he performed this surgery hundreds of times, but for me it was my first, and he was very aware of this, and always offered me the reassurance I needed.
There was one instance, I remember after the first surgery where I couldn't calm down, Dr. Schmid just held my hand and we took a few deep breaths together, and it really helped. He understands that this isn't easy, and his bedside manner is extraordinary.
I am about three weeks post op, and I am thrilled with the results. I am absolutely amazed at how natural both of my breast look and feel. I am just getting back to my normal life now, but could not have gotten here without the support of Dr. Schmid and his wonderful staff (Nurse Michelle). I will forever be grateful for his expertise and support.
Provider Review
I walked into Dr. Schmid's office in January of 2015 scared, nervous, and in need of answers to all of my questions. I was diagnosed on Dec 21st 2014, with DCIS/non invasive in my left breast (Dr Winnie Pollen, Breast Surgeon, Summit Medical Group). My mother passed away at the age of 52 from ovarian, and my aunt at the age of 40 from breast. Before my Mother's passing in 2011, we had a conversation in regards to what our decision would be if either of us were ever diagnosed.
