This place used to be good, but staff is horrible they put you on hold for the longest and their service is awful. And l think the Dr needs to retire, my husband went for several things and he told him nothing was wrong with him, like he paid $70 for nothing. I do not recommend this place at all. Time to look for another dermatologist.

My experience was quite different than these other reviews. First time in this office and all my questions were answered.

Outstanding dermatologist, but the staff is worse than AWFUL. No return phones calls, rude on the phone. It is just not worth the effort to struggle through that nonsense any longer to see Dr. Schmidt.

Keep reading reviews about this staff, but who cares. This dermatologist is top notch. I had been dealing with warts for months and months. I even had surgery with a hand surgeon who removed them initially, but the came right back. I went to Dr. Schmidt and he prescribed me Sal Paint, and it removed my warts IN ONE TREATMENT folks. This was 2 years ago and I STILL have no warts. You want the warm and fuzzy from staff members and a DR who is average, then go somewhere else. You want to get stuff fixed, go here.

Dr. Schmidt is amazing! Super knowledgeable and incredibly kind. Would recommend him any day. The staff on the other hand, ew! It’s gross how unprofessional and rude the front desk ladies are, especially the young Hispanic girl. The terrible customer service is such a turn off.

Dr Schmidt is a really good doctor. He is one of a kind! However, the nurse and the front desk personnel aren’t RUDE! . After 4 years I have decided to look for a different dermatologist with a staff that cares about their patients

I took my 21 month old daughter to Dr. Schmidts office and the experience was pleasant. My child and I were treated kindly during the intire visit. I want to thank Dr. Schmidt and staff for the great service.

This Dr. is Amazing and as much this rating is unfair it is also so fair.I have been seeing this Dr. for more than 5 years but I have been mistreated by the receptionist in almost all occasions i had to make an appointment or ask information on a medications. They will NEVERRRRRRR accept to be taken for an emergency. I just burn myself in the kitchen while cooking and although it is not severe it needs to be looked at as an emergency but they would not see me for a month (now how does that make sense?!!!!!))), the receptionist did not even check, she told me right away no and this is not the first time, she is always so rude, one time she even hang on me and other... I have been mistreated and bullied by this receptionist; seems like the reviews tell a lot about this receptionist. I am surprised the personnel and the Dr. itself are not concerned about her.

Wow, Great Doctor. So knowledgeable and understands how to get the proper care to his patients. I had a rare skin condition that he was able to see immediately that other doctors did not understand. I am on my way to clear skin and no more funny looks from people.

I’ve had two appts. Dr Schmidt told me to call in two weeks to update my progress. I called Monday and no nurses available and was told I would get a return call. Called again in another day. Left message. Still no call back. I don’t know it it’s the front desk or dr Schmidt. But it’s enough for me to go elsewhere.

Best. Doctor. Ever.Dr. Schmidt is a brilliant dermatologist, but whats more, he is a kind and caring person. Hes what I would call an old-fashioned gentleman. He greeted me warmly when he came into the examination room, treated me like he thought I was important, and generally gave the impression that he sincerely likes people, cares about them, and wants to help. If you are nervous about the visit, he will put you at your ease. His knowledge of dermatology was also very impressive. I would recommend this doctor to anyone who needs a dermatologist.I read several of the other reviews, so let me address some of the concerns I read about. In my visit (October 2017), the appointment was not rushed. I had time to talk to the doctor, go over my concerns, and then listen to a number of different options that the doctor explained in detail. The front office staff was friendly, courteous, and pleasant. The nurse/assistant who helped out in the exam room was friendly and helpful. At one point she gave me a form to read, and when I explained I had left my reading glasses at home, she cheerfully read it for me. I got to the office 15 minutes before my 9:00 appointment, I had all my new patient forms printed out and filled out before I arrived, and I was called back for my appointment at 9:06. It was less than 10 minute before the doctor came to see me.All in all, I couldnt have asked for a better appointment. I wish I had come in to see Dr. Schmidt years ago. I highly recommend this doc.

Dr. Schmidt has been a great doctor to me. He answers my questions thoroughly and I never feel rushed. Some of his staff members are definitely lacking customer service. At times, I have felt as if Im an inconvenience for calling about a question or concern. Sandy in particular, needs to improve her customer service skills. She has an awful attitude, very unwelcoming, and rude. I hope this issue is addressed. Im paying for a service to see an amazing dermatologist, yet dealing with ill-mannered staff members is unsettling.

Ive been going to him for years. Hes so knowledgeable!!!.Dr. Schmidt is very old school after he examines you I guarantee he can diagnose the cause. I have a rare pseoriasis condition that he continues to treat with great results. Give him a try you will be very happy.

We like Dr. Schmidt. Hes very nice and explains everything. My youngest was with me once and had a question and before i could explain it wasnt his appointment, dr began to talk to him and explain on his level what he wanted to know. Very nice dr!I do need to update this to say after a few visits, that we are always waiting at least 45 minutes to be seen. Very frustrating. At present, its been 50 minutes.

Ive been going to Dr. Schmidt for years and he has never disappointed me. Yes, there is usually a 30 min wait but once Im in the exam room, its a great experience.Not only do we discuss the reason I am there, but he will also take the time to discuss whats going on in our world. The last time I went, 8/21/2015, we discussed the 10 yr anniversary of Katrina and the many times hes been to New Orleans and the difference in the culture there and in Houston. Yesterday, I received some mail from him, it was a journal called the New Yorker that had several articles in it about Katrinas affects on the people of New Orleans. For him to remember the discussion we had and to send the journal, that tells me he cares about his patients.The first time I went to him, he immediately diagnosed me with discoid lupus just by looking at a spot on my nose and ear. He did do a biopsy of the spot on my ear, but he was dead on with the diagnosis. He prescribed a corticosteroid cream to use on the spots and sure enough, they went away.Hes a no fuss kind of doc. Hes old school and knows his ish. I recommend him to my friends and family all the time. They usually laugh when I tell them his name, but I wouldnt think of going to another dermatologist. Not as long as hes around.Thanks Jimmy for the journal. I will read and return to you soon.

Liked nothing. Time to retire jimmy. Told me to come in to make sure my medicine is working. Didnt examine me...didnt do any test, but sat me in the room for 45+ minutes and had me pay the $40 copay. The black lady Dana or whatever even argued with me. She said I just misunderstood her. I said yes because u didnt explain yourself correctly. Word experience ever, I dont recommend this old ass doctor with his old ass office.

I came to Dr. Schimdt for a second opinion. The 1st visit he gave me a diagnosis and advised to try a couple of things and they didnt work. 2nd visit he gave me a different diagnosis. He was in the room for less than 2 mins and said bye. He didnt give me a chance to talk and made me feel like he didnt have an interest in my skin problem. Hoping the prescription he gave me my 2nd visit works.

I drive an hour to see him. He is absolutely the best dermatologist- maybe in the country. I suffered for 8 years with a rash. I went to Baylor dermatology for years. They said it was allergy to dark dyes, excesema and other things I had to live with. I had countless rounds of prednisone and many, many steroid creams. Within one minute he knew it was a fungus and cured it. I would drive 5 hours to see him. He is excellent and has a great personality and doesnt even charge that much. Highly, highly recommend Dr Jimmy Schmidt. Janice Jucker

Review №31

I went in to see this dermatologist because I had a small red bump on my left cheek and it wasnt a pimple. I didnt have health insurance and I was a cash patient. I knew the bump was an abnormal growth. I went in to see this doctor on 12/9/15 and he did not take a biopsy of the growth, but he looked at it closely with a magnifier and he said it was a freckle with an irritation underneath. Hmm.. I was grateful it wasnt an abnormal growth.. so he prescribed me a very expensive acne wash for my face, he said the irritation could be due to my acne. So my mom, being a pharmacist, helped me out and told me to get a benzoyl peroxide wash because it was essentially the same thing. Anyways, here I am 5/16/16, I am pimple free and the red dot has enlarged to almost the size of the diameter of a large straw. When I first noticed the bump it was very small. I am so upset about this! This dermatologist is not worth anyones time! I am scheduled to be seen at another dermatologist and have to shell out another $100+, but hopefully this doctor wont laugh when I tell him my fear of this being basal cell (which I am certain is what this thing is) and will take a biopsy.

Correctly diagnosed a rash on the neck in about 2 minutes flat as terra firma-forme dermatosis. After our primary physician looked at it and went huh, and after our allergist looked at it and went huh. Took care of it nicely with an over the counter remedy, no medicines needed. Glad we didnt go somewhere else and get talked into doing a biopsy or other expensive testing.

Review №34

Dr Jimmy Schmidt is old school and isnt into fancy cosmetic procedures like Botox and making someone who is 60 appear as if theyre 25 and thats one of the things I actually like about him. Hes a dermatologist who is extremely passionate about his career, patients and the subject of dermatology in general. Though hes been out of medical school awhile he is still educating himself and on top of everything, probably more so than most doctors.Ive been there a few times and I can say that things have definitely improved with regard to the front desk staff. They were very friendly, personable and efficient the last time I was there and the waiting room was not packed like usual so I assume theyre not overbooking which is good for the patients and doctor. It leaves him in a better mood and gives him more time to spend with each patient which he really enjoys doing. He is very personable and really enjoys talking with his patients.What I like best is the fact he takes a conservative approach and a holistic one rather than write a Rx for antibiotics immediately (like so many tend to do nowadays especially if you go to urgent care). Dr Schmidt is really up to date on infections and is considered a specialist in this area and is very well respected by other doctors. He advised me to take bleach baths (dont worry, its not a lot of bleach, just a small amount like youd experience in a chlorinated pool but probably less) to prevent staph infections since Im prone to them. It sounded strange at first but after doing some research I can see Dr. Schmidt is 100% correct so I take the time to take bleach baths 2-3x/week which seems to help.My most recent visit was for a strange infection on my thumb (turned out to be fungal from a public pool, dont swim in public pools unless you know they 100% maintain them and there is no sign of fungus/mold). Dr Schmidt prescribed thymol in alcohol. I never heard of it but I should have because its amazing stuff. I had it filled at the compound pharmacy on 1960 not far from the office and Dr. Schmidt was right; it works!!! And better than any pills or cream. It got cleared my infection in less than a week and without any negative side effects like antibiotics have (e.g. stomach issues, resistance). I was so impressed that it prompted me to write a review for Dr. Jimmy Schmidt. Ive seen a lot of different doctors in my lifetime but he is one that I truly trust and will go out of my way to see.

PLEASE READ!!!! Im not one to submit reviews but i think it will be of great use for ppl that are helpless and dont know who go to when it comes to specialist (specially for someone like me that dont have insurance 😣) i felt overwhelmed thinking i had no choice to spend a lot of $$ on someone that wouldnt care and pretend with me, but i did my homework checked their reviews and gladly i had a really nice experience during my visit:FRONT DESK: since the very first moment that i called to make the appointment.THE DOCTOR: doctor kim was outstanding (forgive me if i didnt catch your name right) she paid attention to me when i was explaining the reason of my visit, i had the brilliant idea to let her know my insurance situation (i believe doctors dont care whether if you are paying out of pocket so i dont even mention it) and she changed the plan right away, SHE WENT THE EXTRA MILE looking for a way to not make me spend more $$ on two extra costs that i would have to spend since i had already pay for the visit.Thnx a lot to the staff and DOCTOR KIM Im greatly thankful and hope patients take my word, i cant guarantee is going to be cheap (maybe my case was not to complicated) but at least you all can have a piece of mind knowing that you are not wasting your $$

I agree, the receptionist is soooo rude. I called for an appointment and the lady named JAYNE is sooo rude. She treated me so bad. I even asked for the manager to complain and guess what, found out that she is the manager as well. No working manner. She does not deserve to work there or to work anywhere else at all. I hope she gets fired!
