Schmitt’s favorite part of caring for children as a pediatrician is partnering with families. She believes parents know their children best and is there to support and guide them along the way using evidence-based medicine. She prioritizes families’ concerns and questions to help build a strong partnership. Dr. Schmitt enjoys caring for children of all ages and looks forward to seeing each child grow and develop into a happy and healthy individual. I support the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) and the California Dept of Public Health's (CDPH) guidelines and schedules on vaccinations to protect your child's and the community's health. ### Outside of medicine Outside of medicine, Dr. Schmitt enjoys hiking, rock climbing, baking and spending time with loved ones. ## Education and training **Medical school:** University of Illinois College of Medicine **Residency:** Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, Stanford University ## Affiliations ### Medical groups -
