If I can give Dr Schmidt 0 stars I would. I went to her for a simple ultra sound and blood work to determine my egg count. She shamed me, insulted me, told me that at my age (37) I won't be able to conceive naturally and that I'm old. She rambled through the entire visit and I literally had no idea what she was talking about when I asked her for clarification she rolled her eyes and talked to me like i'm a complete idiot. She is THE WORST gyno I have ever been to in my 20 years of going to a gyno. She was trying to sell me IVF without even first knowing anything about my body or health. RUN RUN RUN and do NOT go to this doctor (if you can call her that). Her office is also outdated, they still use lengthy forms to fill out instead of electronically, pretty sure they haven't even gotten on to EHR at all. She even told me " I don't do email" and laughed at it. As a female and laying there exposed having an ultra sound with a doctor who is literally making you feel awful for asking about your fertility is probably one of the worst experiences i've had. If I had the energy to sue her for emotional distress, I would. Her staff is unprofessional , short, rude and really shouldn't be in their line of work if they are so miserable. I wish I had better things to say but this was truly a horrific experience. read more

I had been seeing Dr. Schmidt for 3 years for annual exams when I decided I was ready to conceive! I had some issues getting my cycle adjusted after 5 years with an IUD and she immediately took action. Most of my friend's doctors made them try for a year before doing any kind of tests/taking any kind of action - but Dr. Schmidt jumped in as soon as I was ready! She was patient and informative with me throughout the entire process and I continued seeing her until I was 12 weeks pregnant. I "graduated" from her clinic recently and I already miss seeing her, Laura and Brittany on a weekly basis! Everyone was always so friendly, accommodating and welcoming. Thank you Dr. Schmidt for all your help in helping my husband and I start a family :) read more

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for years, it was an emotional and stressful time. Once we met Dr. Schmidt we finally felt like we were on the right track! She truly is a miracle doctor, after being her patient for only 3 short months we are pregnant! Her staff is always smiling and friendly and we never felt rushed by Dr Schmidt. She takes the time to answer your questions. She's very to the point, doesn't sugar coat. I would recommend her again and again . Thank you for everything Lila! read more

Dr. Schmidt made our dream of becoming parents come true! She is a fantastic doctor who is caring and honest. The practice is small and personal- Laura is wonderful as well. Dr. Schmidt did multiple surgeries on me (endometriosis removal, D&C) and I had easy recoveries for both. We had many starts and stops with ivf but dr. Schmidt always kept faith that I'd get pregnant in the end! read more

Dr. Schmidt, and her team, have been wonderful. I recently moved to San Diego and needed to find a new OB/GYN. I did my research and chose to visit Dr. Schmidt's office. She and her team are very thorough and I know that I am in good hands. Her team follows up promptly with results or to address any questions. I am glad that I chose to see Dr. Schmidt and will continue to be a patient of her office. read more

Dr. Schmidt is a great doctor. She is straight-forward and extremely knowledgeable. Her staff are caring and make you feel like you are in good hands. They do blood work on site, which saves me time. She helped connect me with a great doctor to help manage my Thyroid issues and makes me feel like I have a great medical team on my side. As many of us know, this is not something that is easy to find these days. Thank you, Dr. Schmidt! read more

Hi all, I've worked with Dr. Lila Schmidt twice in the past. I think there are a few important things everyone needs to know about Dr. Schmidt... 1. She cares about you!!! And she cares about your health as a whole- as opposed to only what pertains to her business. If you need to lose some weight so you can be around for your kids later on and increase your chance of fertility success, she can inform and help you along that path if you choose. If you'd like to complain about your husband's latest faux pas, she will listen! She is a vibrant (and sometimes loud! in the best way) person, and truly treats you as a whole as you progress down your own personal journey. 2. She takes no bull! She will go to war for you against your insurance companies or irritable lab techs...when there's time!!! You can always be sure that she is on your side! 3. My third point is somewhat related to the second...she will gladly go to war...at the appropriate time! I don't think the general public realizes the patient load and insurance paperwork mountain under which doctors operate. Please remember- this is not some state-of-the-art spa/medical Mayo Clinic-type place. This is one doctor who genuinely cares about giving the gift of life. Sometimes extra time and patience is required when life is being created. Always give politeness and room for her office to breath-- they always get the job done in a perfect manner! 4. Best bedside manner! Dr. Schmidt will hold your hand (literally) as you try to work your way off those exam tables (with a paper skirt around you of course) and encourage you as you enter and exit surgery. There isn't a moment when she passes off portions of her job to lesser professionals- she does everything with the utmost care and compassion. It's important that you feel comfortable with your doctor, and she makes that easy! 5. Ask all your questions- even the seemingly stupid ones! She will give you all the information you need as long as you can articulate what you want. Doctors are not mind readers- so ask! Give her office a call. :) read more

Lila L Schmidt, MD - Scripps - Entrance plaque to office - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

Dr. Schmidt gave me one of the worst doctor experiences ever. I went to her because my insurance would be covered there. I made an appointment to be seen for a procedure, but when I got there, the nurse stated that I would not be getting the procedure because they had to do a consultation first. Okay, I understand that there was a miscommunication, which was maybe on my end. Once the doctor came into my room, she started looking over my records. Completely unprepared for why I was seeing her. When I told her that I was there for a specific gyno procedure, she started rudely asking me questions about why I hadn't been to the eye doctor in 10 years. She was so demeaning about it and acted like I was stupid. (And I don't have eye issues and never had). Next she looked at my notes and told me she couldn't do the procedure for me because my previous doctor had written documentation about me having a seizure. When I told her this wasn't true, and that the notes were false, she didn't offer to speak to the original doctor or even ask me questions about what happened. She said she can't help me and would recommend an outpatient place that would fit my health insurance. Although had the worst bed-side manner of any doctor that I had seen, it wasn't the end. I was so upset by how the doctor had not been my advocate and wasn't even going to look into my case. I told the receptionist that I didn't want to pay the $20 co-pay for the doctor to read my records in front of me, and then tell me she couldn't help me with a self-intitled attitude. The receptionist told me I just can't come in here with all of my problems and see the doctor for free. I paid the bill and left crying. They never contacted me for anything let alone outpatient options. It was like I was never there. Absolutely, the worst experience ever. We aren't talking about a restaurant, we are talking about a person who is supposed to help you with your health. This is a doctor who doesn't care about what is difficult and is looking for the easy way out. Even making someone pay for your substandard service. I paid $20 for her to read my records to me. If you have a medical issue or are looking for a helpful doctor who is professional, this is NOT the doctor. read more

Great experience being a patient of Dr. Schmidt's for the last few years. She is personable, knowledgeable and always makes time to understand her patients needs and provide great care. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Lila Schmidt's for about 3 years now. I would and have recommended her to all of my friends and family. The staff is warm and inviting. Definitely with more than 5 stars. Best doctor ever! read more

I recently went in for a well women's exam in order to refill my birth control. Dr. Schmidt did the normal check up, however, she ordered her own tests without my consent and I received an $800 bill. My insurance discounted half of it but I am still responsible for the remaining portion since it is not apart of the traditional labs under a well women's exam. I have had the same insurance for years and have been getting my exam annually and never have I had this problem. She felt I needed this testing however she failed to make sure I was ok with it. Please be aware and if you are still tempted to see her based on the other reviews of women who may have better insurance than what educators get I suggest you get a print out before you leave of any labs that will be done on your sample and a confirmation of what is covered and what you will be expected to pay. Dr. Schmidt explained that it was her professional judgement to do these additional tests but is she willing to help pay for the additional cost? Read all of the negative reviews here, they are mostly this same issue! Seek another doctor. read more

I can't think of a bad experience that I've had with Dr. Schmidt. She is hands down one of the best doctors I have ever seen! She's so kind and caring to her patients and always makes you feel heard. I have recommended her to every friend I have here in San Diego looking for a gyno and she's given me so many reasons to do so! read more

I called up Dr Schmidt for an appointment when she showed up as a doctor approved by my new insurance. She was the only doctor that was able to get me in that week. A few of the others on the list were not taking new patients or had a longer waiting list. I have always been able to get a very prompt appointment whenever I call. The office is very cozy and compact. The waiting room is small and has an ambient fish display as well as all the pamphlets you might need on the different services offered. You ring a little bell and the receptionist comes and gives you your forms to fill out. The exam room is tiny but comfortable. There is stuff all over the walls. Photos of families and funny OB/GYNO comics. Since Dr Schmidt is a fertility specialist I was worried she would pressure me about having children soon (or something). Instead she was very nice and just said to not wait to long. The doctor is very nice and very frank so be prepared for the straight answer to your questions. After getting checked out you go to the office which she shares with the receptionist/billing person. The other staff are very nice but it is a little weird not to talk with the doctor privately. I'm sure if i asked to go back into the exam room to talk there would not be a problem. The only think I do not really like is that you have to call between 2 and 3 to get any test results. I am usually at work and forget about this. read more

Lila L Schmidt, MD - Scripps - Waiting room - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - San Diego, California

Lila herself is an amazing doctor. She has alot of knowledge and makes you feel comfortable. However their front desk person Laura is really unprofessional and is not a caring person. I got a new health plan and it is not within their network and so I proceeded to ask me take me off their paperwork and she said okay and hung up. I was going to ask her further questions but she hung up on me. I called back and told her she hung up on me and she said well i thought you were done. I proceeded to say I did not say bye, I had further questions. Laura was very rude and should not work at the front desk. read more

Dr. Schmidt is very thorough and really cares about each of her patients. She also goes up and beyond to provide comprehensive care outside of gynecology to ensure great overall well-being. I've had nothing but wonderful experiences and am lucky to have found her. read more

I've always been treated well, with respect and quickly here. Laura is helpful and kind at the front and Dr. Lila is knowledgeable, light with some humor infused to her job as it can be an uncomfortable time, and she always ask questions and asks what questions you have to make sure you leave feeling assured and taken care of. Also their booking times are relatively quick without having to wait months on end to get in for a visit. 5 stars read more

My experience with "Lila" was the absolute worst experience in my entire life with any doctor! I can't even get myself to even call her a "doctor" by the way she treated me. I have so many complaints, that it's making me so upset to relive my horrible appointment with her. She insulted me as a person, judged me, misdiagnosed my health, and didn't provide me with necessary medical advise after I asked medical questions to only shut me down and tell me that she will be the one asking questions. She belittled me and made the point that she is the doctor so she knows best.....bull crap....I have a lot of patience for many things, but I'm sick and tired of all the scams and poor customer service out there, when it's from a so-called doctor, that's it, I need to help others not fall victim to feeling helpless in a situation like this. The nurse was wonderful and was helpful, but it doesn't make up for being overcharged for services and going through a horrific doctors appointment. Lila never even looked at me when she spoke to me. When she walked into the room, I put my hand out to shake her hand as I introduced myself and she completely ignored me and left my hand out there with no response. She barked orders at me rather than discuss things with me and constantly expressed irritation if I asked a question. She slammed her hand on the table and said, "I'll be the one asking the questions here. If you have questions, write them down and either email them to her or bring them in on a next appointment." Next appointment? Huh, she just wanted to have something to give me additional charges! Her diagnose and instructions she gave me turned out to be incorrect after talking with other doctors. She wasted many months of my life, insurance benefits, co-pay money, my energy, and faith in people with doctoral degrees. Lesson learned, extensive homework must be done when finding doctors. BTW - I refrain from writing negative reviews because I believe it could have been just a bad day or situation, but this crossed my limit. read more

Dr Schmidt is the most outstanding Dr and diagnostician. She is super thorough in her examination and takes the time to answer any questions or concerns that you may have.Her wonderful staff and endearing office setting make you feel super welcome and comfortable. Dr Schmidt truly loves her profession. This is so evident in her wonderful bedside manner and care for all her patients. read more

If I can give this a zero stars I would please do not go here the speculum she uses for Pap smear they are not clean properly they are supposed to be sealed and she just hasn't thrown in a drawer if you look closely before she inserts it to you will see white crust all over it trust me The front office lady Laura is very rude every time I would ask her a question she would automatically cut me off nothing is electronic everything is paper Laura is extremely rude she cut you off not professional very small place and very dirty how can you have an animal inside a gynecologist office it's disgusting Dr. Schmidt is very rude she will diagnose you before you even tell her what your problem or symptoms are do you not trust her go to a professional doctor she should have her license removed and when Laura does the blood draws she's not supposed to leave the tourniquet on for more than a minute she will leave the blue rubber band on your arm until your whole hand is purple and she's not supposed to leave the needle hanging you have to hold it!!! read more

I was a new patient of Lila Schmidt, MD. I came to her office in March for an OBGYN checkup. I was told by her office staff that my insurance would not cover my visit with them, so I was about to leave because I was planning on getting new insurance soon anyway. The office staff persuaded me to stay and proceeded to tell me that it would be beneficial for me to stay and pay up front because there was no guarantee an insurance would cover an OBGYN visit and I would need to pay extra fees for new insurance anyway. I was skeptical because I don't make a lot of money but they insisted and said I would only need to pay $150 up front. I finally said ok because they guaranteed me that $150 was what I only needed to pay. I was given all this reading material on Dr. Schmidt and her career and told that if I did not read her biography, I would not be allowed an appointment. (What???) When my appointment finally came, it took FOREVER for the doctor to see me. She was busy outside the room and I was forced to wait and when she finally came in for our appointment, she spent a total of 5 minutes just making small talk and then when it came down to business she only looked "downstairs" for a quick 5 seconds before telling me everything looks fine and I was done. Are you kidding me? She didn't do anything!! No checking for polyps or anything that I normally experience at my previous gynecologist visits! I wrote the doctor a check for $150 and that was that. I left the office and decided to leave that experience behind me. I just went to "PP" for a proper consultation later. Now, many months later, just this past week I received a bill in the mail from Pathology, INC for $190.60!!! What is this!? I received a bill for test results that I had no clue about! I never saw the doctor take any sample, nor did I notice any sample being taken from me!! I was told I would only have to pay for that one visit and to top it all off, I've never seen these test results! Why am I being charged for test results that I have never seen?! I called and called Dr. Schmidt's office to get an answer, but have been ignored each time. I left a message on Friday and got no call, then had to wait until Monday for a receptionist to call me back and I was so upset as I told her the whole story! I'm being trapped here! I don't make enough money to afford this and why am I being billed so many months later?! This is a scam!!! The receptionist took my message and promised that the doctor would return my call, which she didn't!! I called again the next day and left another message, which was again returned by another receptionist. I had to re-tell the entire story again because the previous receptionist never passed along the message!! I couldn't believe it! I demanded to speak with the doctor and they refused! They said they can take a message and the doctor MIGHT call me back but they didn't know if she would or when she would. I demanded to make an appointment to speak with her but they refused to make any time for the doctor to speak with me unless if I was willing to pay another $150 for a consultation. What?! They're trying to make me pay $150 to dispute this bill!! Lila Schmidt refuses to discuss this matter or even talk to me without shelling out more money and I don't know what to do! I can't afford this bill and I was never told about this in the first place! I was promised I would only pay one amount and this is HORRIBLE!! Whatever you do please do not ever see this doctor! She and her office staff will lie through their teeth to make a quick buck! This entire office is not professional what-so-ever and this whole experience has made me never want to trust another doctor AGAIN!! read more

I have been going to Dr. Lila Schmidt for a little over a year now. Every time I visited her I felt like I was talking to someone who didn't really care much as normal doctors do. And the last time I visited Dr. Schmidt she didn't answer my concerns and instead asked me if I had done my research? One for all, part of my whole appointment was me wanting a professionals opinion to answer my questions. She then handed me a sticky note with a website to look stuff up regarding birth control. Overall I felt like she degraded me and made me feel like I wasn't comfortable being around her and had me doubt my own decisions. read more

small cramped office (and rather on the dirty side) i guess gives her office a more personal feel if you like that, but with that said everybody's business is discussed in the same room. She is very nice, but very fast. like a tornado. I would not recommend her for a first-timer. Many, many critical steps were either not explained or not conducted, which l have later come to realize wasted a lot of time and money and surprised other docs. The inadequate billing also became a big stress. In the end i didn't trust that everything was being thoroughly thought through and with my input. I'd recommend going elsewhere unless you just need some twins real quick. read more

Lila is the best! She was caring and patient, and walked me through every step of the IVF process. We were lucky enough to get 2 beautiful babies. When things didn't always work in our favor, Lila helped us to keep the faith and keep on trying. She is gentle, and professional. I still go to her for regular OB check-ups and she is very responsive when I have a medical issue. I recommend her most highly! Without Dr. Schmidt, I would not have been blessed with a family. read more

I've been going to Dr. Schmidt for about 5+ years now. I was referred to Dr. Schmidt when my previous doctor retired. She's a fabulous doctor that is patient, kind, funny, to the point, and makes you feel at ease because lets be honest, the yearly check up isnt something that most people look forward to. Lol. Scheduling is typically no problem- I usually am able to get my appointment set within a week of calling, which is a plus. And the total in and out time while being there is at a minimum- another plus! Her staff, Laura and Kristina, are both wonderful as well :) Definitely recommend Dr. Schmidt! read more

Dr. Schmidt is a wonderful doctor and has made my husband and I feel like we put ourselves in the best hands possible for our journey. She is very kind and knowledgeable and made sure we understood every step of our process we went through. We have been seeing her for about a year now, and are going to be graduating from her services soon. I can already say we are going to miss her and how well she took care of us! Highly recommend! read more

Appointments are always late and calls are not returned when they're promised. My appointments felt rushed - the doctor repeated questions she had asked me a moment ago and I had to ask question after question to get the answers I needed. Won't be returning. EDIT 6/2: I just had surgery to remove the nexplanon implant that was incorrectly placed by Dr. Schmidt. The implant should be placed under the skin, making it easy to remove in-office with a quick numbing shot. Instead, it was placed too deep, migrated into my bicep, and required general anesthesia for removal. They had to cut so deep into my muscle, nerves were cut, and I've lost feeling in my forearm. read more

When I moved to San Diego, I was initially referred to West Coast Ob/Gyn by my pcp. They gave me such a run around trying to get an appt nearly mos out, I declined. So I researched online and called around when I came to Dr. Schmidt and her receptionist Laura was like "can you come in on Friday?" I was shocked and pleasantly surprised! Dr. Schmidt is lovely and caring. I get wonderful service from this practice. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Schmidt is one of the most knowledgeable doctors in the area. She is able to answer all of your questions in terms that are understandable. She is also quite efficient and doesn't like to waste her time or yours with unnecessary conversations or procedures. She always has your best interest in mind and loves helping others. I like her new office staff so much, the workers before were definitely lacking in some respects. Now, she has efficient and intelligent people behind her, which helps to make her the best in SD county and Orange county. They were able to get my insurance company to listen and pay up after they were trying to give me and the office the run-around for months. Dr. Schmidt, even knowing that my insurance was testy, at best, was still willing to do my procedure and risk not getting all her payment. Money is definitely not her motivator. You can tell by her office (which is so comfy and not intimidating at all), her dress (which is simple and always professional, very classy!), and her attitude (she is easy-going, easy to relate to, and loves getting to know her patients). I've never met a doctor who was so genuine and willing to help her patients. In other offices, you will be just another number and the doctor won't even remember who you are at the end of the day. In Dr. Schmidt's office, you become a friend. You know the staff and the doctor and they know you. The service is so much better because of this! I would recommend Dr. Schmidt to anyone and everyone and no other doctor will do! She will always make you feel at ease and wanted in her office! read more

Dr. Schmidt is awesome, she has so much experience in OB/Gyn and infertility. I'm sure there is no female issue she hasn't seen or treated. She takes the time to listen and answer all your questions. She has also taken care of both of my 20 year old daughters, and being a mom to an adult daughter herself, she knows just how to talk to them and explain whats going on with their bodies. She is gentle and kind and obviously Very intelligent. Her staff is sweet and you definitely feel well cared for when you leave. read more

I am so sorry that Melizza had a negative experience. I have had the opposite. Dr. Schmidt was the FIRST doctor to take me seriously when I was asking about my horrible periods. I have had trouble my whole life and most doctors thought I was exaggerating or just complaining. Dr Schmidt listened, examined and diagnosed my issues right away. She was caring, friendly and talked to me - really talked. I felt heard and knew I was in the right place for care. Since her course of treatment, I am a different person. My life is so much better BECAUSE of Dr. Schmidt. I recommend her to all my friends who have seen the difference. I am happy and free of pain. I no longer dread being a woman! read more

I recently had a terrible experience while trying to get in to see an obgyn in the area that I just moved to. I used to see Lila when I was in San Diego. I called and told the office staff the trouble I was having, they immediately helped me out with everything I needed including a prescription extension and calling the new pharmacy until I could get into a new office, all the while knowing I was no longer their patient. Great experience! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Schmidt!! She has given me great care and advice since I began seeing her. Her office is small, but well kept with a nice waiting room. Her staff is friendly and prompt. I have had to wait 10-15 min past my appt time for her before, but its worth it. She is straight forward, knowledgeable and made me feel like my concerns were valid. She is fast paced and gets down to business. Don't be intimidated by some of the reviews. She is there to help and provide results and/or solutions. read more

Dr. Schmidt is absolutely amazing! Nowadays it is very rare to find a Doctor who is still passionate about her job and Dr Schmidt absolutely loves what she does and it shows! Always taking the time to answer out billion questions and keep us positive. After doing 7 cycles, we are pregnant!! Also, Laura was my main support there!! She is so unbelievably kind and caring!!! Always has a smile on her face and is more then willing to make everybody feel comfortable! We never once felt we were just "another patient." Absolutely recommend!!! read more

I just came from my annual Well Woman exam with Dr, Schmidt. Today, like each and every time I've seen her, I walked out with a smile on my face, due to the amazing bedside manner of this professional, caring woman. If you're looking for a provider who will take as much time as needed to get a complete picture of your overall health, as well as answer any questions you may have, AND has a great sense of humor, then Lila Schmidt is the doctor you're looking for. BTW, her staff is amazing too! read more

By far the worst doctor I have ever been to in my life. I visited her in 2017 for an ob-gyn standard check up. I was 22 at the time and had relocated to San Diego by myself, with no family or friends in the area. I have had depression for my entire life, diagnosed at a very young age. At the end of my standard checkup, I asked her for a recommendation for a psychiatrist in the area (if she had one, I left it very open ended in case she did not know of one) and she told me to "call my insurance agency and tell them that I slit my wrists" to get a referral. I am still disgusted to this day by this woman and I don't think she is an advocate for women or mental health. Whenever I have a friend ask for a referral for a gyno I specifically tell them not to go here. The nurses were all embarrassed by Dr. Schmidt's arrogance and attitude in general, to the point where I saw them exchanging glances and rolling eyes at their boss' crude comments, one even apologized for her. I had blood drawn here and within a day had a bruise the size of a baseball because it was incorrectly done. It's two years later and I debated not leaving feedback for so long because I didn't want to share my story but women need to know that Schmidt should absolutely not be in business and should really take some sort of course on how to interact with other human beings. Very low class woman who spits out her thoughts with little regard for how they may affect her patients. I would give 0 stars if I could. I have now found a wonderful gynecologist who I trust deeply and look forward to visiting for many years to come! read more

Not only the best OB GYN that I've found, but the best doctor I've ever had. She knows her stuff and she cares about her patients, which is the most important thing. She listens, explains concepts clearly, and orders the lab work needed to get to the bottom of an issue. I'm so happy that I found her! Her staff is also awesome and I like that you talk to the same person when you call in, not some answering service. I give them an A+. read more

Best Doctor Ever! I have been seeing Dr. Schmidt since September of 2018, she was recommended by my primary care doctor. During my initial consultation she answered all my questions, addressed all concerns and was very through; she made me feel at ease with this pregnancy. Her team Kristina and Laura are amazing. They return all calls and keep me informed of all the exam/blood work results, explaining everything in detail. They confirm all my appointment which I really, really appreciate due to my crazy work schedule. Every time I walk into the office, I am greeted very warmly by Laura and treated with care by Dr. Schmidt and Kristina; very professional. Recently I had a small emergency and called after hours to Dr. Schmidt emergency line, she answered immediately. To say the least, I was immediately relieved, she listened to my concern gave me instructions; as well as, words of comfort that reassured me. Next day I had a walk-in appointment without any problems. This is THE BEST MEDICAL practice. Dr. Schmidt always has a good sense of humor and makes me laugh every time I see her. Thank you DOCTOR for all your great care!!! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Schmidt's for several years now. My care has been top notch, caring and she is consistently kind, upfront about my concerns and any concerns she has about my care. She thoroughly reads my chart each time and follows up with questions that she has. I can ask her anything and know that I will get the straight story about my health and care. Dr Schmidt is a consummate profession yet she has the best bedside, aka, table side, manner. I feel safe in her hands. The office is staff are a bonus, to the office. They are friendly, on top of my care and take the time to listen as well. I have had to call about an issue and they made sure I was listened to and got me in very quickly. If you are looking for a friendly, yet profession, place for your female health care and want someone who will be honest with you, Dr. Schmidt is a great choice. read more

Lila is great! After looking for a gynecologist here in San Diego for over two years, I lost hope. I scheduled an annual visit with her and she was honest, answered all of my questions and even had me laughing along the way. My second appointment was super last minute and she had me come in to see her even without an appointment. Her dedication to her patients is clear and her passion for this field is what I love the most. Thank you Lila!! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Schmidt for some years now. I won't leave a detailed negative review even though I really should. All I will say is do your research when coming here and even after you get a diagnosis. I really liked Dr. Schmidt the first few years... but after what I went through this year with her... I have found a new gynecologist. I will leave it at that. RUN. RUN. RUN. seriously. read more
