Dr. Barbara Schroeder, MD

Dr. Schroeder does a really good job of making you feel very confident and comfortable in her abilities. She has a very warm smile and demeanor.That being said, everything is VERY rushed and she seems to enjoy inflicting physical pain. She gives off a very high degree of confidence, but then in the same breath, once you are maimed, will let you know that she has no experience doing what she just did.Would not recommend if you want someone who cares about you or your fertility.

Dr. Schroeder is by far one of the best doctors I have ever seen. The level of respect and care for her patients are outstanding. She is has birthed both of my chiildren and saved lives of several of my friends in early detection. I can't say enough good things about her.

BEWARE! She’s just an ok doctor, nothing special. I had my well woman exam, her office takes Cigna, but they use an outside lab that doesn’t take my insurance! So, now I owe $267 for an exam that should be completely covered. No one bothered to tell me this might happen or I would’ve used another doctor. When I called University Pathologists (where the bill came from) they told me this happens all the time! This is completely unacceptable! Make sure you do your homework, because if the lab doesn’t take your insurance, you’ll be out money that you shouldn’t be. Definitely not a good customer experience.

Dr. Schroeder is kind and compassionate and makes you feel comfortable immediately. I feel very fortunate to have come across her when I first moved to Houston 3 years ago. If you are looking for a new Gyn, you won't go wrong with Dr. Schroeder.

I saw Dr. Schroeder for my second pregnancy. I saw her every other appointment and her nurse practitioner, Jenna, the rest of the time. Jenna is great, but every time it was an appointment to see the doctor, I had almost 1 hour wait times. It's very frustrating to be on time for your appointment, but then wait an hour. When I did get to see her, she's great. Just be prepared to sit around for a while if you've got an appointment to see Dr. Schroeder.

Dr. Schroeder is patient, thorough, and has great bedside manner. She helped me pin down an actual PCOS diagnosis (after other doctors going back and forth about whether I had it, without ever testing my hormone levels) and talked through my anxieties about trying to conceive soon. She is also very knowledgeable about the blood-clotting disorder I have, which can affect future pregnancies. Overall, she was very friendly and I am fully confident being in her care.

Be careful about chosing the care for a pregnancy. You will never see this doctor, I am currently a patient and hope this one at least shows up for delivery. I wish I could find a new doctor this late into my pregnancy. I have always had a wait for 45 minutes to an hour regardless if you try to see the nurse or the doctor. Their staff can miss detecting a baby's heartbeat and almost give you a scare, thank god this was not my first pregnancy!

She is an incredibly proficient medical doctor, and I have every confidence in her. She delivered my first baby and is my current OB for my second, due in May 2016.
