Dr. Brian Schmitz received his undergraduate degree in public health science at the University of California, Irvine. He then worked for St. Jude Medical as a project manager in research and development to help develop the next generation of medical devices in cardiac ablation and spinal cord stimulation. Although he was grateful for the work he was able to do at St. Jude, he knew he wanted to be treating his patients face to face. Dr. Schmitz decided to pursue dentistry and was able to graduate cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Schmitz then completed his residency in pediatric dentistry at Bon Secours, St. Mary’s Hospital to gain advanced training in pediatric medicine, sedation, and complex treatment planning.

Dr. Schmitz is happy to help his patients achieve a cavity-free lifestyle and develop a positive association with dentistry. Having experience in mentorship programs and coaching children’s baseball, he feels fortunate to be able to care for pediatric patients and coach them onto a successful track to maintain oral health. “I enjoy educating my patients on why we need to take care of our teeth, especially baby teeth, and creating an environment children look forward to going to.” Dr. Brian Schmitz is board-certified in pediatric dentistry and has had his research on Oral Crohn’s Disease published in the Journal of Dentistry for Children.

In his free time, Dr. Schmitz enjoys attending Flying Squirrels games, playing disc golf, and exploring the farmers market with his wife and their two children.
