Provider Bio

Eric Schmit, DO, is a board-certified OB/GYN with a focus in gynecologic care. He has additional recognition and certifications as a Robotic Surgeon of Excellence and a Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgeon. His approach includes robotics-assisted surgeries, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). His goal is to complete surgery in the least invasive and safest way possible, so patients can get back to normal activities sooner after surgery. Gynecologic surgeries he performs include hysterectomy, hysteroscopy, myomectomy, endometrial ablation, surgical sterilization, laparoscopy, endometriosis care, laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation for fibroids, and resolving IUD complications.

Dr. Schmit is passionate about providing comprehensive care, via a collaborative approach, that is tailored to each specific patient’s needs at that point in their life. Building trust is incredibly important, and he takes the time to listen and discuss options to create the ideal plan with his patients. One of the things that he enjoys most is taking the time during his visits with patients to offer education to them. He is also passionate about educating and advocating in women’s health at a broader level through his podcast and YouTube channel.

Dr. Schmit is originally from Green Bay, WI, and completed medical school at Des Moines University. His residency was in Milwaukee, WI with Dr. Valieva, who also practices here at Valley. On weekends you can find him in one of two places: out on a trail hiking with his wife and two dogs, or enjoying some time out on a golf course. He also is a fan of the Green Bay Packers (Go Pack, Go!) and enjoys training for marathons.
