Wade Schmidt, MD

What I Do

As an interventional cardiologist, I provide high level and innovative care to our local and rural populations. I treat patients as if they are a member of my own family.

My clinical interests include coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and structural heart disease.

Why I Love My Work

I knew CentraCare was the right place for me because of the great program they offer, the location and the fantastic doctors and staff I get to work alongside each day. I love living and working in this part of Minnesota because of how nice the people are here.

Getting to Know Me

I was motivated to go into medicine because I grew up surrounded by it. My father was a nurse anesthetist and other family and friends had a career in medicine.

Outside of work, I enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking and watching my kids' activities.
