From the moment I entered the office area I knew this would be a great doctor’s visit. Denise welcomed me from behind the desk , something you don’t see in other offices. There is always a glass or something that feels very unwelcoming. Not here. The office lobby looked like a 5 star hotel. Denise checked me in with a smile and a conversation, and I felt so welcomed. I was taken to the doctor’s office. Everything looked so clean and modern. After an initial review by an assistant, who was also very nice , Dr Schmaus walked in and he was full of vim and vigor !! Funny, pleasant, and to the point!! Such a great attitude and demeanor. Never had such a genuinely nice doctor. After an MRI prescription, I am hoping he will find the cause of my neck and back pain .

Whenever I have problems with the spine and lower back Dr. Schmaus is my first address. He is very friendly and explains the problems very easy to understand. For minor problems he gave me in the past very holistic advice, which made my spinal stenosis much more bearable. I also want to mention the very friendly and helpful office staff in the new Paramus office.

Beautiful building, excellent staff. Dr Schmaus is professional in every sense of the word. He took his time to explain my MRI and went above and beyond with recommendations I can do at home. Very caring.
