Patient Reviews
Mar 02, 2022
Dr. Schmitz is a very caring and understanding person. He helped me understand my condition and gave me options before I decided to have surgery. He didn't force me or anything like another Neurosurgeon tried to in Lafayette. He did a wonderful job, Great bedside manners and office staff was very nice as well. I wasn't happy with the physician who was covering for him one weekend. Never showed his face once the entire weekend. Only seen the Nurse checking on me for him. I was so unhappy bt Sunday evening my nurse called Dr. Schmitz and he talked with by phone and was in the hospital early Monday morning to see me. What a great man.
