THERE IS ALWAYS A DOCTOR ON DUTY....
When Patients enter our medical center, they find themselves in two clean and bright waiting rooms complete with a children's play area and vending machines. Our friendly front office staff greets patients in a timely and courteous manner. Our Medical Director, Vincent Schaller, M.D. is a board certified physician with over 16 years of experience, including in-patient and out-patient medicine, ER, pediatrics, and gynecology. Dr. Schaller's careful, complete examinations, combined with his friendly bedside manner have earned him the respect of doctors and the trust of patients throughout Delaware, NJ, and Pennsylvania. He was recognized by Delaware Today's TOP DOC's 2005. Caring and knowledgeable nurses and radiology technicians aid Dr. Schaller and his staff in assessing and treating patients. When a patient is cared for at the Medical Center, a full report of the care received can by request be faxed immediately to the patient's primary physician, ensuring each patient a continuity of care. Patients also have the convenience of on-site Digital X-ray by Papastavros and on-site Labs with Quest Diagnostics. Also on-site are a diverse array of specialists, including Orthopedic Specialists. Injuries are easily cared for in a one-stop shop with a cast room and a wide variety of orthopedic supplies provided by the Bio-Met Company. Hockessin Walk-In Medical Care provides direct referrals to specialists, and if needed, direct transport to the ER or direct admission to the hospital of the patient's choice. The staff has full privileges at 3 large area hospitals, including Christiana Wilmington and St. Francis. Dr. Schaller has been recently joined by 3 very experienced physicians, Diana Metzger, M.D., David Jezyk, M.D. and Julie Prosseda, M.D. who bring combined over 50 more years of experience to HWMC.
