I was put in hospital with heart failure and later AFib and Dr. Schmidt was kind, respectful and very good at what she does. Put me at ease, made me feel safe and at ease.

Dr. McClurg has been very helpful with my nose issue. He answered any questions that I was concerned about pre-procedure. I’m very pleased with him as my ENT. Definitely would recommend him.
