  • “I went to the same dental school as Dr. Schmedding. 27 years later he is still putting forth the same effort and enthusiasm as when I first met him. He is always looking for ways to improve his dentistry as he has shown through his accolades and lecture series. His "patient always comes first" attitude is second to none. I feel fortunate to have a colleague like him that I could go to for help and his patients should feel confident that they have a dentist that'll treat them the right way.”Read more
