Robert P. Schmid's Online Review Report Card

Wow Dr. Schmid did a great job. I got my procedure done 6 months ago and that was the best thing I ever did in my life. My tummy tuck looks amazing. I have my life back and not ashamed to wear short tops.

That is probably one of the worst designed signs I've ever seen. Is it schooty MD plastic surgery? Why is their kerning so bad? Is this their actual logo? Why? What's it supposed to say? How am I supposed to trust they know what their doing when they can't even get a legible sign?

BIG DAY!!!!!! I had waited 3 months for this appointment and I was beyond excited! My appointment was at 3:00pm on a Monday for a breast augmentation consultation. I traveled 2 hours to see Dr. Schmid. I arrived at 2:50pm, got checked in then sat in a room until 3:57pm before Dr Schmid finally came in. He speed talked for a few minutes and I didn’t get any questions in before I was sent to the scheduling office. I told the scheduler, Devon, that I had a few questions for Dr. Schmid and she said to ask them during pre op. The team seemed very unprepared from the moment I walked in the door. Everything felt rushed and I left feeling very unsatisfied.

Can only speak from our experience with Dr Robert Schmid, but in all my years in the medical field I have never seen such a complete disregard for patient safety and care than when my loved one went through her ordeal with Dr. Schmid. We paid for a extended/full tummy tuck with liposuction/sculpting impression was to do incisions almost like a body lift. Dr Schmid did not do this, did not appear any lipo was done either. We paid for a breast lift and augmentation which Dr Schmid was certain he could achieve without implants, we strongly wanted implants. Instead we got a breast reduction and they are very uneven. Again no lipo or sculpting appears to have been done. Additionally under no circumstance was the anchor incision to be done, at most a lollipop incision could be done. Instead Dr. Schmid did an anchor cut. This far all the scars are significant, uneven and the tissue underneath is disheveled. Same day the surgery was done the patient suffered a significant loss of blood from internal bleeding. Hgb dropped from about 13.8 into the 7's in matter of hours. The patient should have went to the ER where Dr. Schmid has admitting privelagrs but he had the patient come back to the office to open her abdominal surgery up again. Extremely unsafe but if patient would have went to the ED there would have been other doctors aware of this botched surgery. It led to weeks extra of having drains in place and at least 3 visits to the ED for complications for which Dr. Schmid refused to evaluate his patient. One of the drains dislodged and the nurse in Dr. Scmids office refused to evaluate the drain. ED visit CT scan showed the drain indeed dislodged. Additionally patient started having some altered mental status and severe headaches which Dr. Scmids again refused to evaluate his patient. He was aware a VP shunt was in place and should have been prudent to evaluate if there were any complications from the surgery. The drain appeared to have been compressed causing the fluid to back up resulting in the patient having seizures requiring the shubt to be replaced and the patient being hospitalized for 8 days. I personally called Dr Schmid days before the patient started having seizures imploring that he see his patient and evaluate. He never responded and his staff was not concerned. The surgery is very botched and will require extensive reconstruction. Patients life was put in danger and Dr. Schmid showed complete disregard. Pictures and medical reports can factually back up these statements.

Just the best experience!

I had an amazing experience with Dr.Schmid & his team. Very professional & caring of your wants/needs! Dr.Schmid gave me my confidence back & I’m so thankful! Highly recommend him!

I have had only great experiences with Dr. Schmid and his staff. It is clear he is well-known and well-respected in his field. I am extremely happy with my results and would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in breast augmentation. His staff are always friendly and attentive. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience.

7/7/2021 Had an explant, lift and some liposuction off the sides on my breasts yesterday. The whole process from calls, office visits and surgery went absolutely perfect such a good experience! Grateful for my amazing nurse Daniel he was there ever step of the way made me feel completely at ease, informed and put in the IV without any pain whatsoever. Dr. Schmid answered all my questions, my breasts look great! Most definitely recommend and will go back for any further needs.

Everyone here is so sweet! Dr. Schmid does amazing work!

Dr. Schmid and his staff have been professional, helpful, and kind from start to finish! My decision to have surgery was not easy for me and it was not made in one consultation. It took me approximately 5 years, and 2 consultations, before I decided to go through with it. In those 5 years I had been in and out for other visits and by the time I was ready, I was as sure as I could be that I had chosen the right Dr. I had such a great experience and I am so pleased with my results!! If I had to do it all over again, I would and I wouldn’t change a thing! I HIGHLY recommend Lubbock Plastic Surgery Institute and Dr. Schmid!!!
