Matthew Schmitt, MD

"Before going to him, I read all the reviews about Dr. Schmidt, and everyone seemed to "love his wonderful personality." Only one problem. THIS ISN’T A PERSONALITY CONTEST. As far as how much he helped me with my chronic insomnia problem, I would have to give him a TOTAL ZERO. In reality, he doesn’t even rate ONE STAR, and here’s why. A good doctor’s job is to always see his job through to completion. In other words, he can have the best personality in the world but if he really can’t help you, what good is he?? When I went to see him, the first thing he did was to give me a sleep apnea test (which I correctly guessed that I didn’t even have), but since this is a typical procedure I took it just to rule it out. Well, I didn’t have sleep apnea, so he simply told me to take some of his special, and very expensive, melatonin “sleep powder” to hopefully help me sleep. But you can buy melatonin products anywhere, and they didn’t help me with my continuing insomnia in any case or I wouldn’t have made an appointment with him to begin with. So after performing a single test that I could have gotten anywhere, Dr. Schmidt never offered me a single word of advice to help me with my continuing sleep problems, NOT A SINGLE THING!!! Any able or ethical physician would do everything within his power to help you with your ongoing problem, but not this so-called “sleep expert.” He never gave me a single follow-up call, nor did he offer even ONE positive suggestion on how to help get a good night’s sleep, which is why I went to see him in the first place. Once again, ANY health care professional can order you a sleep apnea test, and selling you some kind of “magical sleeping powder” doesn’t take any brains. If I wanted more melatonin, I could have just gone on Amazon and bought some for a few dollars. So after expecting to receive special advice on what to do next for my problem, I was left to fend for myself, and I simply searched You Tube for help with my continuing insomnia, where I actually found TONS of free and detailed suggestions. But no such advice ever came from this doctor, which is why I would NEVER recommend Schmidt to anyone with serious sleep problems. He will not offer you even a single bit of usable information, much less the decency of a follow up call to assist you in finding a satisfactory solution to your issues. If you want someone to actually help you to determine that actual cause of your insomnia is and help you actually do something about it, just save your money and look elsewhere, starting with the many helpful and informative videos available on You Tube that won't cost you a penny. But going to this guy is certainly not the answer."
