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.

PA was great and she gave me more of an exam than he did. Schmidt walked in and started talking and would not let me talk. He suggested 3 nose operations with my first visit. When I said no he said "Ok" and that was the end of my visit. 5 minutes

Nice enough guy, but didn't offer any solutions for my sinus issues. Total waste of money. It's not acceptable to spend $1,300 on "it could be anything" and "we could try this.. it may help" advice. I can get more help from Google. Beyond that, Advent's billing is terrible - I was ignored for over 3 months after needing assistance.

Dr. Schmidt is the BEST doctor that I have ever seen! Hes so caring and actually listens to everything I have to say. He works with me to provide a treatment plan that I am comfortable with, and has never pressured me into any surgeries that are not going to help me. I appreciate the time he has taken with me and has walked me through every process. I will recommend Dr. Schmidt to every one I can! Thank you Dr. Schmidt for being a great physician

This guy is 45 minutes late. I'm the only one there, it's very early. Never says he's sorry. Then he's rushing as fast as he can to get my procedure done. Tells me it won't hurt and it hurts- during and after. He is the worst Dr. I've ever been to as far as explaining your treatment to you. The worst! Also, they have an office lady named Fran giving bad medical advice like she's a nurse. He totally contradicted himself from one office visit to the next. I would avoid Dr. Schmidt and ENT Assoc..
