About Me

Hi there, my name is Dr. Benjamin Schmidt, but I’m better known as Doc Schmidt. I’m a private practice gastroenterologist based in St. Louis, MO and I’m passionate about practicing medicine, educating others, and making videos.
​
In October 2020, using the name Doc Schmidt, I started making comedic healthcare themed videos aiming to entertain and educate.

By showcasing unique perspectives on medical training, the healthcare field as a whole and the often frustrating patient experience, my videos have consistently found an audience online. As a result my videos have gained hundreds of millions of views and I now have over 1.2 million followers across my social media platforms. Thanks for checking out my website!

​I Wrote A Book!

 The Night Before Med School is an illustrated story that kids and adults alike will enjoy. It is a fantasy adventure story about being brave in the face of something that scares you. The fun twist is that all the characters and settings are inspired by real life medical terms- be sure to check out the glossary at the end of the book for any terms you don’t recognize! This book is perfect for medical students and residents, children of healthcare workers, and anyone who enjoys my videos!
