For the first time in my life I walked into a doctors office with the mindset of wanting to be prescribed something to help me feel better. I was in a serious funk in all aspects of my life at that time. She took her time listening to me, asked me questions and showed genuine concern for me. Her “prescription” that day involved self accountability, awareness of the foods I put in my body and exercise. She said come back in three months if you’re still feeling the same. I put in the work and got into the best shape of my life, changed my mindset and way of thinking and have never looked back. I cringe at the thought of what if she had given me what I was looking for.

Excellent. She’s smart, knows medications and effects very well, always listens and I never feel rushed even though I know she must be. Grateful for her care.

She is very condescending, doesn’t let you get a word or question in. She focuses on a pin point view when it comes to the patient health care rather then trying to see the broad perspective. She is very rude and unwilling to work with you or other doctors to find the best care for you as a patient. I am EXTREMELY dissatisfied with her care or lack there of. OH and the wait time is always 20 to 40 minutes.

Condescending, rude, and very brief. Don't listen to you at all. Please see an OB for Women's Health and a Pediatrician for your children.

I met Dr Schimke today and I am thrilled having her as my advocate for my healthcare. She reassured me with my "interview" with her, she will alwas be evolved in my healthcare if I need a Specialist. That is very important to me. She was so attentive and listened to my concerns. We mutually decided to delete a few of my medications and see how I will do without them. I liked that as I don't want to be on more than needed. She reassured in was taking all measures to stay health. Five*

My daughter and I both see Dr. Schimke. I believe she is honest, has great perspective, and makes decisions 100% dependent of what the patient needs. We love her! She's great with small children as well as young adults.
