“AMAZING!!”

“Dr. Scheman was able to find a few ingredients that I'm allergic to as a result of patch testing.”
Very clear in explaining complex information.

“I have not been making it up!!”
After a year and a half of seeing so many different doctors and getting no answers, Dr Scheman has helped me get my life back. I want to cry! I am now looking forward to having my confidence back. Thank you! Thank you!

“Contact Patch Testing EXPERT!”
Staff and processes are all top notch. Dr. Scheman specifically blew me away. His thorough and investigative style was what has been lacking from the other providers who I had seen to treat my aggressive rash (later to be Dx'ed as contact dermatitis due to allergens in most of the personal care products I currently used.) Who knew!
Thank you so much for your expertise and dedication to what will be a life changing in removing the skin irritation I've nursed for over 6 years!

“Relieved, clear, and efficient”
The comprehensiveness with which Dr. Scheman and his staff attended to my allergy needs was exceptional. The wealth of experience is clear and hs ability to communicate it is superb. As with any expert, occasionally, there's a bit of "ok, that's interesting, if you're done talking, I'm going to talk for a while," when describing a patient's situation, but that's sort of par for the course, and I don't begrudge it. I appreciate Dr. Scheman's warmth and obvious commitment. It's tricky to navigate the necessary efficiencies of being someone who's done this for a long time with the need for individualized patient care, so if you prefer someone who wants to chat, I might lower those expectations a smidge.
That said, if you need a doctor who knows his stuff, I recommend Dr. Scheman with zero reservations.

“Excellent, thorough, knowledgeable.”
I was recommended through my regular dermatologist. Appointments were on time and care was excellent. Dr. Scheman spent the time necessary to explain everything and answer any questions I had.
Excellent experience and highly recommend this practice.

“Dr. Scheman truly listens, understands, and creates a plan of action”
After years of suffering, my eczema and contact allergies have been identified, addressed and I have a plan to manage my issues. I am beyond grateful.

“Amazing Experience”
I have been to other doctors and no results or any helpful progress. Dr Scheman not only listened but heard me. After a contact allergy panel test and a caring, determined doctor and team - I am confident I will find results and relief with my treatment plan. I cannot stress enough how relieved I am to have a team that truly wants to help me.

Comment - “ AMAZING!! ”
Dr. Scheman and his staff were amazing! I've had skin issues for awhile and just thought I had super sensitive skin, until a reaction wasn't going away no matter what cream or fix I tried. My dermatologist referred me to Dr. Scheman to get the patch testing done and turns out I have a skin allergy too two common ingredients in skin care/cosmetic products. He explained everything so clearly and took the time to answer all of my questions. My only regret is that I didn't go see him sooner!
