Dr. Schamess is great as is all his staff!
Doctor is polite and hospitable, but his appointments are very far away and he does not care about me when I get a new illness and I call in his office and he never calls me back
He is gentle, reassuring, and interested in the whole person. He also doesn't rush to prescribe medication as a "quick fix," including alternate options (medication, exercise, counseling, etc.,) in the discussion w/his patient. I appreciate that very much.
Always takes all the time I need.
We interact well, in person, by phone & via OSUMyChart.

He seems concerned and we are beginning to know each other better and that makes me feel better so I can talk to him easier.
Concerned about some medication. Decided to stop a High cost medication that I felt caused negative health issues rather than helping.
