About Steven (Mike) M. Schmerber, Jr., MD

  • Dr. Schmerber is an ARC Family Medicine physician who sees patients at ARC clinics as needed.

    Dr. Schmerber grew up in Cedar Park, TX, and is excited to be back in Central Texas. In his free time, he enjoys taking a dip in “cold, cold Barton Springs,” hyperventilating at the gym lifting weights, and enjoying his “nerdy side” playing chess or video games. And, he says, “perfecting a good bark on my brisket!” Among Dr. Schmerber’s favorite locales is Port Aransas, where he enjoys the sunset, listening to the waves crash and gulls cry, “smelling the fresh salty air and spicy dune grasses.”

I think I decided to be a doctor in 5th grade, as even from a young age I wanted to help people who were struggling. I have always enjoyed the comprehensive approach to a patient that Family Medicine allows. I view myself as a consultant to an individual’s health journey., and strive to give people the tools to get where they want to be with their health.

    Dr Schmerber was very knowledgeable and explanatory and seemed like he was very glad to be at work helping patients.

    I would like to take a moment to commend the exceptional level of care I received during my recent visit. Doctor Schmerber was incredibly patient and listened to all of my concerns. He took the time to examine me thoroughly and explained things along the way which not only made me feel valued but cared for and seen. Additionally, I would like to extend my gratitude to his nurse for her kindness and support throughout the appointment. My overall experience was pleasantly surprising, as it can be difficult to find quality healthcare these days. I will definitely return to see Doctor Schmerber in the future for any medical treatment I may need. Thank you for providing such outstanding care!

    Dr Schmerber was impressive! He listened to everything I said and asked questions that really helped me explain what was going on. He was compassionate and respectful while still being cheerful and friendly. He is truly an incredible doctor.

    The Doctor was very helpful, listened, moved the process along and explained everything in detail. Not usually impressed but he impressed me enough to do a survey and I NEVER do these.

    Only issue is the wait time when you try to make appts, both the hold time and how booked the Dr's are. I was lucky they had this appt today. I really liked this Dr...
