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%.

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,

When my husband was dying, Dr. George Schmitz made a house call which meant the world to me!
He's been my doctor for many years now, as was his predecessor Dr. Nick Fitterman. What I'd most like you to know about him is that he will always be there for you no matter when the need arises.
