About
Philosophy of care
I have always seen myself as a family physician because caring for the entire individual, in context of family and life just made sense to me. So, my philosophy of care has always been patient-centered, and focused on the relationships that I develop with my patients. This is the part that helps me feel happy and fulfilled.
Why I entered medicine
I was one of those people who knew from a very early age (age 7 as I recall) that I wanted to be a physician. I did not have family members in medicine, so I have decided that it was the positive influence of my family doctor that led me down this path. I double-checked along the way to make sure that my interests and passion were still aligned with medicine, but I have essentially "never looked back"!
Community involvement
For many years prior to arriving at Lehigh Valley Health Network in 2012, I was very involved with a student-run free clinic in Newark, N.J. I hope to extend this interest and desire to serve this community by working with the health care professional students here at Lehigh Valley Health Network to provide services to the underserved.
Personal interests
My interests include exercising, gardening, antiquing and most outdoor activities. I am just starting to learn to play the piano!

Comments
"I love Dr. Schroeder. I feel she's committed and vested in my success as a gastric sleeve and Zepbound patient. I know my success is her success. She's been on my journey since 2017. I trust her advice and guidance implicitly... when I tell her the learning I'm doing on YOUTUBE to help myself along? She takes notes and never makes me feel like my efforts are not meaningful. I've lost my handouts that remind me of protein options for dinner and snacks way too many times??? She never mentions it. She knows I love sardines??? She hates them, but she respects that they help me. I've recommended her to so many people. The office is consistently friendly and welcoming... I have anxiety issues, but even I feel safe and comfortable here! ??"
"As always, exceptional care given by Dr. Schroeder."
"Dr. Schroeder is wonderful. She is so caring and really takes the time to review everything."
