I have been a patient of Dr. John Schmidt on and off for most of my 30 years in Pueblo. The fact that Dr. Schmidt has so very many years of experience, and diagnoses almost everything he sees on the spot, makes him a valuable resource for just about anything happening on the outside of my body. His attitude has always been - "Let's take care of this right now." If you want to mull over whether to have a condition treated, and postpone taking care of your skin, then the bluntness and immediacy of treatment by Dr. Schmidt is not what you want. His attitude is never to "hold your hand and let you ponder whether to handle the situation." I love this guy for his forthright attitude and honesty! I dread the day that Dr. John Schmidt decides to retire, and only hope that whoever purchases his practice will treat patients with the respect and immediacy that he exhibits. On top of all of that, he's funny as hell! I would recommend to anyone - and have recommended Dr. Schmidt - to any number of acquaintances. If my primary care physician had any doubt regarding any skin issue, there would no other dermatologist to go to in my mind. read more
