Michael Schneider, MD
General Surgeon, Surgery
Philosophy of Care: Patient-centered care is a philosophy that had been engrained in me throughout my training and career. Individualized care, tailored to specific needs of the great variety of patients. The goal is to make the experience and process as successful and least stressful as possible.
What do you like best about working at OMC? I enjoy working here because the people and staff share a like-minded mentality of "patient first" care. It is an extremely "can do" facility and culture.
Personal Interests: I enjoy my family and home in Western Wisconsin. Outdoor activities include gardening, managing my wooded property, birdwatching, swimming, basketball, and golf.
Fun Fact: I am a "bird nerd!" I love to identify birds by sight, sound, and flight. I love to be outdoors, in the woods.
