Get To Know Me
Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I do care deeply for patients. I listen. I am honest. I work hard to answer questions clearly and provide evidence-based recommendations.
What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
My patients should expect clear communication from me. From my patients, I expect nothing. Come as you are and I'll meet you there.
How do you spend your valuable personal time when you’re not caring for patients?
I have four children who keep me busy. As a family, we hike and go camping together. I have a weekly basketball game with friends. I read, dance and am involved in my community.
Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose Family Medicine because I enjoy working with all patient populations. The greatest reward is seeing a positive outcome for a patient that comes as a result of a trusting patient-doctor relationship.

This was probably one of my best experiences communicating with a Primary Care physician. She listened, and explained every piece of advice and every recommendation she gave me. I felt very comfortable and confident been taking care of by Dr. Schieber.
