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.

    I really liked him and would consider moving to to him as my primary physician

    Dr. Schmerber was very attentive, asked pertinent questions after listening to my concerns and suggested lab work and an x-ray to help diagnose my problem. He made me feel at ease with his personable nature and expertise. I am pleased with the care and concern he showed.

    + He listened and responded to my needs - Did not discuss annual mammogram - ARC some info in my chart like previous tests were wrong -ARC pushes Dr to order tests based on recommendations - ARC pushes Dr to see a high number of patients causing Dr to leave and no time to know the patients living situation

    We love Dr. Schmerber! He was very thorough, kind and patient! We really wish he could stay here in Bastrop because we would love to have him as a permanent doctor!!

    Dr. S is simply amazing. The care and compassion he displays is truly second to none. I really hate he does not have a patient panel because I would have him as my PCP and follow him to whichever clinic he is at.
