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.

My fiance was admitted for gallstone pancreatitis and Dr Schmidt was excellent in explaining and performing the procedure. His bedside manners are awesome i would prefer him to anyone needing a general surgeon

If not for Christus St Michaels' MRI DEPARTMENT spotting an anomaly, and a knowledgeable surgeon...
