Dr. Schmidt was prompt and  identified and treated my injured knee with a prescription and exercise.  I was able to attend my brothers wedding and walk somewhat normally.  He called the day before the wedding to see if everything was OK.  What an amazing experience. I would recommend Dr. Schmidt for any of your orthopedic needs.
