Christopher Schmidt, MD

I have been going to Dr. Schmidt for over 10 years. I had seen other Dermatologists prior, and went to another one a couple of months ago when Dr. Schmidt was on vacation. There is NO COMPARISON! Dr. Schmidt is professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and has a great sense of humor. His office staff is also incredibly professional and helpful. He is the best of the best!

Found his site via Unilocal.It has a
to take photos and evaluate with an online form/​process. Did that. First off, I should have known when NO WHERE there is a price for services this is an easy money grab. Received a response within 24 hours (I guess good?). Asked to charge my CC first (I get why). Received a 43 word response for $ 65 (I’m sure logging in took longer). and the ending response «use as needed.»
Not sure what I was expecting but I feel I got snookered at that rate for very little «work» performed. I get you have to make money on the transaction, but $ 65 seems a bit excessive.
Also the easy to follow «prescription» lets you find pharmacies but doesn’t give any details in regards to phone numbers or the ever-​needed fax number to proceed.
Also no email address to contact. I’d be very careful!

Old school but AWESOME. Dr. Schmidt treated me for some nasty cysts in my eyelids. It was painful and he warned me they could come back. There was no scarring and it has been four+ years and no recurrence. He was very professional and courteous.

Very impressed with Dr Schmidt.
Beside manner — exceeded expectations.
Wait time — minimal, which was great.
RN who brought me back — great!
Overall, very pleased. Looking forward to having such a great dermatologist in the area.

I just paid my first visit to Dr. Schmidt to have my eczema examined. I am very impressed with his overall manners. He is friendly and approachable, yet knowledgeable and professional. His personality is very well balanced that as a patient, I felt extremely comfortable trusting his advice and expertise. I guess I don’t have too much to say about my treatment experience with him, seeing as how I just had common and mild eczema. I was prescribed an ointment and left the office. However, I emphasize that I left the office very content. I like Dr. Schmidt– point blank. Let’s hope my future appointments continue to be as pleasant as this first visit. I like his staff and office as well. Both were pleasant.

I appreciated his no nonsense manner!

Dr. Schmidt is a phenomenal doctor. He takes his time, is thorough, and is very professional. I would never see another dermatologist after working with him!

This doctor is just amazing! Very professional and well mannered. Unlike other dermatologist, he is a REAL doctor and focused on getting your skin healthy, and not selling you a bunch of temporary treatments. Knowing he doesn’t sell you on cosmetic treatments or other snake oil should make you trust him even more.
In my past experiences with other derms, they just kept selling me useless and expensive products all the time and spent 50% of my visit selling and not taking seriously what I was trying to discuss. Dr. Schmidt is totally different. He takes the time to understand what is going on, and then explains the science of what he is recommending.
His office is pretty clean, and his staff is very polite but can come off as cold on the phone. I am guessing its based on the number of calls they must get, but regardless if you have anything on your skin that is bothering you find a way to get an appointment with him.

meh. i’m sure he can treat conditions, but doesn’t seem proactive with suggestions. wanted me to come back for a procedure that he could have done on the spot. visit was $ 130 and i didn’t get much out of it at all-​i was hoping to at least come out with a plan..

I love dr Schmidt, very pleasant, very informative and explains things thoroughly. =)

One of the very few remaining ‘true’ dermatologists around. He isn’t into the ‘image enhancing’ stuff that most other dermatologists do for money. Very knowledgable and professional from start to finish; staff included! I’ve been there for both my teenage daughter who has psoriasis, as well as a variety of stuff myself. Very happy to have found Dr. Schmidt!

I took my 95-​year-​old dad into Dr. Schmidt today. Dr. Schmidt was so kind to him, listening respectfully and chatting about Navy experiences in the Pacific. All of the staff were kind, respectful, and courteous. Dr. Schmidt proposed a simplified treatment instead of the more complicated procedure presented as a must at a nearby «factory» style skin treatment center. In contrast to what we had experienced at the other place, the personal and professional care received from Dr. Schmidt and his staff relieved and refreshed us.

My FP, Dr. Melissa Wu, recommended Dr. Schmidt right down the outdoor hallway from her office. My mother is Australian and had several basal cell and melanoma removals after a lifetime in the sun.
I have my skin checked at least every six months since I now live in California. Dr. Schmidt office doesn’t make me wait more than 2 weeks for an apt and is always professional and assuring. I recently had an liquid nitrogen treatment and healed in a week without scarring. I can just point to an area and he can diagnose each condition without hesitation.
Dr. Schmidt is very personable, listens well and answers questions. I never feel rushed even though his office usually has several people in the waiting room. The office staff are very friendly and always offer samples which are great for traveling .
There is a parking lot but access can be tricky. It is easier to come down Los Gatos Blvd, turn into Good Samaritan and immediately turn onto to National Road by the nursing home facility. The other way is to come down the street behind Ace Hardware and turn left onto National but it is difficult to see cars coming down the street on the corner.

I have been seeing Dr. Schmidt for years for regular checkups. He’s really great — personable, easy to talk to, actually listens to you and doesn’t make you feel rushed. My husband and I both are his patients and we have even had him take a look at our young son when he had a skin-​related issue. I have recommended him to friends and they like him too.
It’s a bit hard to get an appt — seems like I always call when the office is closed — but I’m going to keep trying. ;-) He’s worth it.

i hate going to the Dr. especially the skin Dr. My sister and I lost our dad to melanoma a long time ago and with that comes a lifetime of check ups and monitoring of keeping ourselves healthy.
is worth the wait for an appt because he is so sweet, comforting, understanding and never makes me feel totally weird when he has to see me in my underwear. The assistants are always quick and funny and always offer up free samples of lotion at the end of a awkward mole check.
I appreciate that he is always sensative to my family history. So thank you Dr. Schmidt for making it easy to take care of one of the things I am scared of most.
Remember Kids… cancer is bullshit. =)
