Dr. Schmidt is a young man with numerous credentials and certifications on his wall. I found him to be very friendly and complete in his explanation of the procedure and the risks. He was running late for my appointment but he was very apologetic and made sure I was totally understanding of all aspects of the procedures before I left the office. He is very experienced and board certified in advanced laparoscopic surgical procedures. I will update more as I go along with him. Based on my experience so far, I would have no problem recommending him.
