Hi Kris,
I recently had surgery with Dr. Schirmer on March 7th and I'm also from Lynchburg with PCHP insurance. I just wanted to wish you luck and I hope that everything goes well. So far, I haven't had any problems and I'm very glad that I have this surgery. Dr. Schirmer is wonderful as is UVA. Best of luck, and if I can answer any questions for you, then please feel free to let me know!!!!
