Robert Schmidt - Office Manager

Robert Schmidt worked as a software engineer and product manager for many years.  After retiring from that profession he was looking to do something different, and now he works as our office manager.

​

"My favorite part of this job is meeting new patients, getting to know them, and working with Dr. Hamal to figure out how we can best improve their oral health.  It is a big change from the corporate world.  Results are often dramatic and easy to see.  The focus is on individuals, not corporations."    At Premier Periodontics we treat each other and our patients like family.

​

In his spare time Robert enjoys taking his kids to their sports events, cycling, and working out.
