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.

Patient of his – Mar 08, 2023
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Schmitz?
I have been seeing Dr. Schmitz since March of 2015. I count my blessings daily that it is he and his staff that have treated me. He called me yesterday to tell me about my recent mammogram. How many doctor's call their patients? He does. He is just an all around gentle man. On top of that he is a skilled and knowledgeable physician. You don't see that combination too often. He listens and will take as long as it takes to answer any and all questions you have. Michelle who always greets me with a smile, Melanie who assists with my visits and all the radiation staff who administered my treatment are upbeat, kind, and everything else that make for an excellent health professional. On top of all the above, they respect your time as a patient and I have never had to wait when I go to scheduled appointments.

Hands down, Dr. Schmitz is the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and comforting doctor I have seen. His staff were friendly and welcoming, and I felt truly cared for and at ease during my visits after a brief battle with thyroid cancer. What could have been a terrible and scary experience ended up being an absolutely delightful and reassuring few visits. I hope I never HAVE to see him again, but there's no other oncologist I would consider if cancer is my diagnosis!

I have seen Dr. Thomas M. Schmitz for radiation therapy on my scalp following surgery for cancer December 14, 2012. Also left Breast surgery for cancer on August 17, 2016. I found out that I would be returning to see Dr. Schmitz again on September 7,2016 I sure did get a warm welcome back by him and his staff it was like a reunion. I would recommand him to anyone, I do know several people who gone to see him. Even my family is inpressed with Dr. Schmitz and all his staff.
