Miriam L. Schroeder, MD 3115 South Grand Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63118

"I am impressed by Dr. Schroeder's excellent patient care. She took the time to explain treatment options to me and we discussed any concerns I had. She is authentic and approaches patients with respect. I have never had a psychiatrist who was willing to develop a solid doctor-patient relationship. If you are wondering whether you should go through your insurance and see someone else or go ahead and pay out of pocket, I am telling you if you have the ability, pay out of pocket and see Dr. Schroeder. She is worth it and so are you!"

"I can't recommend Dr Schroeder enough. Previously I would have these major depressive episodes and my doctor told me to "keep my expectations reasonable. No medicine will work 100%". They were debilitating and I thought this was the best it was going to be. Eventually, I needed some adjusting. It took me quite a while to find anyone accepting new patients but I got in within a month with Dr Schroeder. I don't think Ive ever felt so well before. The cloud over my head is gone. The heaviness in my shoulders has been lifted. I feel like myself again. All thanks to this lovely lady. 5stars 10/10 Shout out to Alex, the receptionist. Always quick to respond, kind and exceptionally patient."

"I am a relatively new patient of Dr. Schroeder’s, having moved to St. Louis to be closer to family after working in LA for several years as a writer. I currently have no insurance, and no prior affiliations in this city. So honestly, I just got here and Googled different psychiatrists, picked one at random, and hoped for the best. I had no idea what to expect. But I have been so well-treated and pleasantly surprised by Dr. Schroeder that I felt compelled to say as much in a public forum, so that others might find the doc they deserve. On my initial appointment, Dr. Schroeder spent TWO HOURS with me. Two hours. I don’t need to tell you that that’s unheard of these days. And in subsequent appointments she spent a full hour. I mean, that’s truly exceptional, considering most psychiatrists spend about fifteen minutes per patient. And for once, in a psychiatrist’s office, I felt like a real human being with feelings instead of a cold, clinical cluster of symptoms. Dr. Schroeder genuinely listens. She’s genuinely sympathetic. She genuinely cares. You can't fake that, you know? And above all, I never once felt judged or anxious in her presence. Moreover, she discusses my medication options in such detail -- the therapeutic value, the neurochemistry involved, the potential side effects -- that I feel confident and informed about my treatment plan when I leave the office instead of anxious and clueless. Honestly, I’m battling the worst depressive episode of my life, and I finally feel like I’m starting to win. Thank you, Dr. Schroeder. I’m a big believer that people who go above and beyond deserve recognition. And to those reading this review, I believe in you, too. All my love and best wishes in finding the right doctor and the right treatment. You are not alone! "

"Dr. Schroeder has been supremely important in helping me understand myself. Her medical background and fresh perspective were the key in realizing that my idiosyncrasies, though helpful, were exhausting coping tactics. Genuinely interested and curious, she searches for causes and solutions, avidly taking notes whenever possible. It's clear that Dr. Schroeder is fascinated by the human mind but she is also a very kind person. Kindness, above all."

"After a couple of rough experiences trying to find a doctor; my appointment with Dr. Schroeder pretty much restored my faith in mental health care. Just talking with her (which she takes more time to do than I have ever experienced) actually made me start to feel human again. She is knowledgeable in a way where you can tell she pays attention to her patients and to the world. She's emotionally intelligent (which I feel is something bizarrely lacking in the field of psychiatry? Maybe from burnout?) and she works to help you. She doesn't rush you through. Dr. Schroeder respects people with special mental and emotional differences and needs, and that is a big deal, and a step in the right direction."
