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. Mike Schmerber jr was great he was the first person that I have visited with that actually took time to go through test result readings and explained each and every one to me.He wasn’t looking at his watch to rush me through as some have in the past to get to the next patient. He’s a really great guy shows professionalism and die to earth during my visit.
