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.

Top Notch
Dr Schmidtke and his entire staff were friendly and very professional throughout my whole ordeal with oral surgery. I was very nervous and anxious before my surgery that morning. Dr Schmidtke was very reassuring that everything was going to be fine.Afterwards, he called that evening to check on me to make n sure I was doing okay and my pain was under control.

This man is so good. He's like the Jedi master of dentists and surgeons. I have a resistance to numbing stuff with my teeth but he had no issue numbing them completely. I went in with a completely hollow tooth with exposed nerves, he told me he would have to break the tooth to get it out, I didn't feel anything because he's super precise and good. I would definitely recommend him to anyone at anytime.

I'm a PROUD patient of this wonderful caring man Dr. Schmidtke! He & his staff are so empathic for any pt. with pain. He did my 1st oral surg in 2015 to treat a chronic oral infectious inflammation that I aquired after intense dental work that was done 13 painful months prior.. Ive had 2 surg. since. I was so nervous each surg. but this caring man comforted & assured me it was gonna be painless & IT WAS! I know GOD lead me to this GREAT MAN, DR. SCHMIDTKE! I pray GOD Blesses HIS TEAM daily!

This office came highly recommended. The office staff is amazing from the front to the back. I regret to say that my experience having one wisdom tooth extracted was not pleasant at all! After letting the doctor know I was feeling sharp pain twice, he continued pulling. I was at the point of extreme anxiety. Both him and his assistant kept saying, "we're almost there," as I was shaking tremendously. This was not my first extraction, but it was my first extraction with an oral surgeon.

Dr. Schmidtke pulled my teen's wisdom teeth a couple of years ago. He was awesome. I had to look him up again because my niece has same need now. My teen wants to shadow him to learn. I pray he accepts. We haven't asked yet.

3 months after an extraction surgery I was still in excruciating pain. I had to return to the office 10 times and nothing was done except prescribing meds and repacking my jaw. Had to call over and over. Heard doctor say to the receptionist “what does she want now” and then gets on the phone to tell me he can’t give anymore Lortab. I did not ask for lortab. I begged you to fix whatever you did to my mouth. Could barely eat or sleep for 2 months. Had to take 2 months off of work. Run away!

Dr. Schmidtke was a pleasure to work with. He made sure I exhausted all options before needing to pull a tooth. Scheduling was easy and so was reaching office staff as needed. Also, he personally called the evening of the procedure to see if I had any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend his office.

I think Doctor Craig Schmidtke was born a Jedi, that's the best way I can explain it. He is like Yoda and Luke Skywalker in his wisdom and knowledge of his art form. :) I was having major issues with two teeth that were halfway broken off with exposed nerves. He took both teeth out with ease and did it within seconds with no pain. I told him I was afraid of needles, within two visits my fear of needles does't exist anymore. I would recommend Dr. Craig Schmidtke to anyone in the entire galaxy.
