Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
I liked him he was thorough and strait to the problem and explained everything he wanted to do to fix the problem.

Seemed to be very busy. He did evaluate my data entries, but seemed to be in a rush. My Systolic pressure is above 120, however my diastolic runs below 80 and pulse rate within 60. He first said my meds where adequate then anted to increase Metoprolol, but this med reduces more my heart rate and pulse, I don't want my heart to lower its rate with more meds. My mission is to reduce my meds with diet exercise and alternative to lower systolic not lower diastolic and puldse. He didn't explain seemed to be in a hurry to get to next patient.

Dr. Schimmel was very diligent in his assessment and exam. I found him to be and he asked many pertinent questions. I have recommended him to another family member and she has already made an appointment.

We were not impressed at all with Dr Schimmel's lack of compassion & attentiveness. My husband had open heart surgery & we met with him for a follow up appt prior to meeting with the surgeon. He asked my husband how he was, & seemed not at all interested in hearing his/our answers. I'm puzzled as to why he bothered asking. It was more about clicking away at the computer & moving on to the next patient.
Major surgery, emotional journey.
Dr. lacked ability to provide empathetic, quality care.

Excetional doctor. If you have a heart problem you will not find a more qualified or caringdoctor. I and my whole family trust my heart care to Dr .Schimmel and no other doctor. He takes time with you and tells you exactly what he is doing and why. If you ask a question he answers in terms you understand .

I have been with Dr.Schimmel since May of 2015. He is the first cardiologist I have seen in my life and will I tell you the last. He always maintains a professional mannerism and I have to question his medical judgement. Because of him I can honestly say i am in the best shape of my life.
