I recently had a cochlear implant on 08/16/2021. I had Dr. William R Schmitt for my surgeon. I was warned beforehand about after surgery symptoms of nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and headaches. I had none. Dr. Schmitt is a very skilled surgeon. I only had the normal after surgery pain for a few days. I feel blessed that he was the one who did my surgery. I had put off the surgery for longer than Dr. Schmitt wanted me to, because I was afraid of what could go wrong after I read and heard about all the things that could potentially happen. Dr. Schmitt was very thorough with his explanation of the surgery, and the rare instances of failure. After talking with him, I felt at peace, and knew it was time to get the surgery. Dr. Schmitt has a matter of fact personality. It’s not the personality that’s important, it’s the surgical skills that are important. He takes his job seriously and I feel he is one of the best. I am grateful that Dr. Schmitt was my cochlear implant surgeon. He is also my ENT doctor. He was the first ENT Doctor that diagnosed that I have a deformed cochlea. I had seen other ENT doctors for years before I saw him, and I was never told I had a deformed cochlea. I highly recommend Dr. Schmitt for any of your ENT needs. Thank you.
