Dr. Miguel Schmitz, MD

Dr Schmitz tried very hard to be my friend. He said he thought we would be 'good together. I needed surgery not a friend. I was in severe pain with bulging discs and lumbar stenosis. I decided to accept surgery. We proceeded with surgery. I was sent home after a few days. The pain I was feeling had become worse on one side. I was taken to the ER. There an MRI was done. They found a sponge that had been left in the surgical site. I was taken back to surgery and the site was cleared of a surgical sponge. 3 weeks later I went to his office for a check up, I waited for three hours. I never went back after that. It was a bad experience all the way around. He seemed nice enough and fourthcoming with answers. But never again for me.

The absolute worst doctor I’ve ever encountered and Alpine Orthopedic the worst doctors office. This doctor should be in prison and that office is not fit to care for the public. It was their MRI’s that found my torn labrum, they stole several months of my life for a surgery I told them I could never afford to do again, clearly they only care about money with no concern for their patients health! Multiple orthopedic surgeons since have said they don’t know how he could have missed my torn labrum during surgery, this was the main reason I got surgery. They also convinced me to let them take all of the cartilage at the end of my clavicle, I told them that didn’t seem like a good idea and these demons told me to trust them. I had many emails and calls with the office manager who told me that they believe their patients are too stupid to understand the surgery report so they normally don’t freely give it to anyone including my physical therapist who had to fight for almost two months to ge

Very dissatisfied with the care and compassion. A waste of our time. We went to this doctor twice for my husband's knees. My husband is disabled. First visit the Dr was running late (over an hour) and he didnt see us until his office was about to close. He spent roughly 5 minutes with us and never really listen to anything that we said. You could see that he wanted to close and we were just in his way. The second time we had an appointment we sat in a room for about 50 minutes after our appointment time without even being seen (or even acknowledged that we were there). We finally got up to leave and told his nurse that we had other appointments. The nurse said it should be a soon, but he didn't know for sure how long. We received a phone call from his office at 9pm that night. That was absurd. He is now charging the taxpayers for his lack of compassion and scheduling abilities. I suggest only seeing this doctor if you like to sit around for hours waiting for someone who doesn't give

Surgery was a success the staff was very friendly and hospitable would recommend to anyone

I love Dr Schmitz & his staff! They all work hard to make sure that you are well cared for! They sometimes run long on other appointments and you might have to wait but it is worth the wait and Dr Schmitz doesn’t just walk out on you...he answers questions until YOU’RE done! He’s a master at his work!

Horrible. Every time I had to wait at least an hour. Dr is e excellent but there scheduling sucks. You will miss work.

I've been a patient at AOS for years, and through trying times. I've found that Dr. Schmitz's thoroughness and personal attention to my matters refreshing. Although their focus is spine and orthopedics, this clinic does not limit its scope of evaluation so narrowly, as a result, this clinic has been very helpful in finding medical diagnoses that are typically beyond what one would expect of a spine and orthopedic office. I truly recommend this office for spine & orthopedic care.

I had someone rear end me in an MVA. I had major shoulder issues. I highly recommend coming here for Othopedic Surgery.

I was a us army paratrooper 5yrs had a bad jump and compressed my spine and neck VA did everything under the sun and sent me to Dr Schmitz and crew I was 17 then I'm 57 now I was dealing with pain my whole life Dr Schmitz did two operations on my back and helped me through process they helped me so much I know I'll live longer if I could give them a twenty rateing I would thank them so much for everything they did they actually helped when nobody else could thank you Soo much luv u guys

Dr Schmitz is wonderful. Knows his stuff and treats me with respect. However, his office staff does not respond back to you when you call them or when you send them emails..

This was a great experience with a surgeon that I think is top notch. Dr. Schmidz was recommended to me by my sister who had neck surgery by him 4 years ago. She had the same excellent experience that I had and has had zero problems ever since. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing surgery on their back or neck. I am now totally pain free and back in the fast lane . Thank you so much Dr. Schmitz and staff you were all excellent !

Yes he has a busy office, but that's because he's popular because he's good at what he does. I've been going there for years now myself.

Great Doctor, Quality front office
