First and foremost, Dr. Schmitz is a wonderful doctor. But in addition, I love that someone answers the phone promptly when you call the office. They squeeze you in when you have a health issue. Dr. Schmitz’s nurse Margie is great. All the staff is very courteous. I’m so pleased that I became a patient of Dr. Schmitz

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Schmitz
I've had challenges with erratic blood pressure that would swing wildly and having Dr. Schmitz made all the difference. I could always get in to see him the same or if less urgent the next day. He would always stay in contact with me and got me immediate appointments with a cardiologist and a heart rhythm specialist and would coordinate my care with them. I've always felt I was in… See more

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. George Schmitz since the first day he become associated with MDVIP. Unfortunately, she had already been diagnosed with RCC stage 4, a cancer that still has a survival rate of 5%.

In July 2022 I sustained an ulnar radial fracture of my left wrist in a fall on a broken sidewalk. In discharging me from the ER, the doctor stressed the importance of seeing a hand surgeon as soon as possible and gave me several referrals.

Fourteen years ago, when I was a young man, my annual physical labs showed a slight rise in my PSA. Being a young man I tried to ignore this but Dr George Schmitz would not ignore it. He kept sending me PSA lab prescriptions every 3 months. The lab results showed a steady rise in my PSA. At approximately the 6 month lab result Dr Schmitz suggested that I see a urologist which I did. The… See more
I am a very tough case as I’ve faced death a few times due to COPD and 2 leaky heart valves which they cannot repair due to my lungs. I am on oxygen (5-6) 24-7. Dr. Schmitz has navigated me through the many doctors,
Medicines and hospital stays thru the past years. I have no words to thank him enough for his direction, support and allowing me to enjoy my life despite my issues.
When my husband was dying, Dr. George Schmitz made a house call which meant the world to me!
