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.

Outstanding physician! Most thorough, kind-hearted, compassionate physician. Absolutely brilliant but can explain things simply. Cannot say enough good things about this practitioner. Never heard an unkind word from his own peers about his skill, dedication & commitment to his patients. It is a great privilege to have him as your physician. Always has your best interest in mind & gives you hope as he always has your back. Absolutely adore him. Great human being & truly outstanding doctor!

Dr. Schmotzer treated my mother for a very brief time, but cared for her as if he knew her forever. He took his time to explain everything in great detail. His knowledge is only equaled by his compassion. He called with updates when I was not present with her. I could hear the caring not only in his words but also his voice. He truly cares about his patients. He told me to have my daughter move her planned visit ahead 4 days to make sure that she could see her. If not she would have missed her.
