Meet Dr. Schmid

Your care will be specific to your needs.  Dr. Schmid will take the time to explain her treatment and what to expect at your visits.  This is especially important if you are a patient who is new to Chiropractic care.

Dr. Schmid will determine the cause of your symptoms during an examination, then provide a series of comfortable treatments that will focus on correcting the problem.  Dr. Schmid’s patients enjoy her experienced, gentle, personalized approach to care.  She spends time with her patients to provide the care they deserve and answer the questions they may have.
