Patient comments
Dr. Schmalbach is exceptional in every respect. She is beyond A-plus in her ability to communicate and process your individual situation. She is a gem.
Dismissive about post surgery issues related to general anesthesia, possibly medication.
I felt,from my first visit on,that I was respected and that I was in great hands for a very difficult journey.
Monday I wrote an email to my personal physician telling her of my good impression of Dr. Schmalbach and the excellent care I received at FCCC
Exceeded my expectations!!
