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.

Great Doctor
He has such great troubleshooting skills in identifying your problem and then in so many ways what to do to fix it and is also such a really nice caring person

Dr Schmaus review
I would definitely recommend Dr Schmaus. He is very professional. He takes the time to actually listen to what you have to say and genuinely cares about your concerns. Dr Schmaus provides his explanations in plain terms. He answers all questions completely and provides his insights in a kind and friendly manner. Dr Schmaus reviews all testing completely, offers treatment recommendations and even demonstrated proper body mechanics that should be utilized to prevent symptoms from returning.
