She is a board certified physician and an active member in the North Carolina Medical Society.

After relocating to North Carolina, Dr. Schmidt has practiced Family Medicine since 2000. As a physician who practices holistic medicine, she became increasingly concerned about the obesity epidemic and the host of serious illnesses associated with excessive weight. She began practicing Bariatric Medicine as part of her Family Practice in 2009, after receiving bariatric training.  Dr. Schmidt is an active member of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians.

Dr. Schmidt established Doctors Weight Loss Center of Cary in 2010 to provide people with weight issues access to a practice committed to delivering quality, comprehensive and compassionate care.
