Dr. Schmit listened attentively, responded to my questions and took his time during my appointments. I have had approximately four visits and he was consistent during each - positive and upbeat with a can do attitude. His expertise was spot on in addressing my dry eye issues. The supporting staff has been nothing but highly professional and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Schmit and the Vance Thompson Clinic.
