"I was only able to meet with Dr. Schirmer twice before my surgery was scheduled. He was patient in answering my many questions, and gave detailed answers. He drew a diagram of the surgery for me, as he described the procedure.As I visited other parts of the hospital for my preliminary tests, I found that nurses,doctors,residents and technicians voluntarily told me what a wonderful and skilled surgeon he is. This was very reassuring. Dr.Schirmer stresses after care and requires that you be seen yearly for life.He went over the risks of surgery and gave numerical percentages for each risk.His staff was congenial and efficient. I came away with a surgery date, feeling well cared for."
