Patient Rating
4.9/5 (Based on 75 Ratings)

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.

    Dr. Schmidt is amazing. He takes time to checkin with me, the person, not the patient.

    He didn't answer any of our questions. We were told we're asking too many questions. We didn't get any answers from Wade and although the test results were on my chart, no doctors explanation of them are on there. We are already stressed out enough about extra tests and something being wrong and we get no answers. Everyone else was wonderful to work with.
