Fantastic experience: Absolutely love ❤️ this dentistry, I'm in Maryland and my mom's with dementia is in a wonderful rehabilitation center in Skokie. I was concerned about her sucking a particular tooth and arranged for her to be sent to Dr Schmidt he/office staff were GREAT! They were patient with the center in transporting my mom there, Even rescheduling on a missed appointment. The exam was awesome and Dr Schmidt called after, giving me a thourough run down on the exam, what was needed, etc. "Bamb!" did I pick the right dentistry or what...that was hard, but thank you.
