    Dr Schmucher was very thoughtful and concerned about my healing process after surgery. He was very pleased with the successs I have made with using my hand. I would highly recommend him as a caring, thoughtful great surgeon! He made sure to answer any questions and explained what he did and also what I may have happen that I should come back to see him about.

    I am so grateful for the care that I received from Dr Schmucker. From the first appointment through the surgery and recovery I received the best care ever. The procedure went perfectly and I couldn't ask for a better outcome.

    This appointment was very important to me, my doctor was personable, but I felt very rushed, unable to say everything I wanted to say, and opportunity to slow down and ask questions. My doctor talked about some treatment options, but went through them very fast so I left wondering what next. I utilized the results on my chart to ask additional questions of others in order to know what direction I was going, and hell, this treatment may help me. The office wasn't busy as what I could see, but the doctor ended the conversation with let me take you to the desk and I'll have them help with trying to get your MRI appointment, again he was very personable, but I felt I was being pushed out and still didn't have clear direction Of a treatment plan.
