Beyond Amazing Experience

My experience with Dr. Schimd and his staff was beyond amazing. I saw Dr. Schmid because I was going to have extensive bowel surgery and wanted to finally repair years of surgical damage. He was actually my second opinion and I chose him based on the referral from my primary surgeon as well as my interaction with him. Dr. Schmid was very descriptive and patient with the explanations for my surgeries and I felt very informed. No question was too much. His bedside manner is wonderful and comforting. There is nothing like having a strong connection to your surgeon (beyond the obvious need to have a fabulously skilled surgeon) to put your mind at ease. I was afraid to look at my wound closure based on terrible past experiences, but after multiple doctors and nurses telling me how good it looked - I finally removed the bandage myself and was literally floored with how flat and thin the closure was (its a very long vertical closure on my abdomen). I didn't think I would have a belly button but Dr. Schmid was not only able to save my belly button but make it much cuter! Post surgery the office support was great - anytime I had a question they got back to me immediately. Without question, I will be going back to Dr. Schimd for future procedures. I cannot recommend him enough - he changed my entire stomach appearance after years of living with horrible scars.
