phone follow-up the day after surgery is a nice touch. Everything looks good so far. Puffy and a bit swollen, but healing well.

Very nice doctor who clearly told me the procedure he was going to perform on me. I had Entropian procedure. The surgery went well and there was minimal discomfort. He called me the next day to see how I was doing. He did a great job!

Dr. Schmitt performed Blepharoplasty surgery on both my upper eye lids 4-1-2025, Very professional and caring. I was apprehensive not having this procedure or knew of anyone that had the procedure done. Dr assured me that I would be well taken care of, which calmed my nerves. I didn't have any discomfort, I was completely relaxed. The Dr in my opinion deserves a 10 star. Thank you Dr Schmitt and Minnesota Surgery Center.
