Dr. Schmalbach is an excellent physician.
I'm very appreciative for my doctor and the entire team. Can't say enough good things about my diagnosis, surgery and recovery care. I feel I am in excellent hands here.
I saw Dr Schalmbach for an issue from a pet scan and she saw me over 3 month period. She addressed my concerns and is having me see specialist to help with froggy voice. She was very helpful and put me at ease during the appointments.
