    This provider did not even sit down when he was discussing my reason for being there. Doctors are supposed to sit and remain eye level with their patient and he stood the whole time. I felt like he wanted to be in and out, and he really only spent about 10 minutes with me and did not really address my concerns before leaving.

    I was very nervous and embarrassed about going to this kind of doctor but I was treated in a professional and caring way which put me more at ease. Dr Schaller referred me to another doctor for a procedure which might be beneficial to me. My only negative about my experience is that I cannot get an appointment with this other doctor until September 24.
