Philosophy of Care

My philosophy of care is centered on delivering individualized, natural-looking results. I believe plastic surgery should enhance who you are—not change you—helping you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin.

I take the time to listen carefully to each patient’s goals and concerns, providing honest guidance and clear education so every decision is informed and thoughtful. In doing so, I strive to create a warm, approachable, and comfortable environment. Each treatment plan is tailored to your anatomy, lifestyle, and long-term well-being, delivered with care and the highest level of safety.

By combining surgical precision with an artistic eye, I strive for refined, balanced, and timeless results. Patient safety, transparency, and compassion guide every step of care—from consultation through recovery—so you feel supported, respected, and confident throughout your experience.

My surgery turned out great. I love my results and Dr. Schaefer did a great job. The only thing that I would have a to say is that I never received a follow up from Dr. Schaefer’s nurse or any nurse for that matter post surgery. I had to learn from google how to take care of my incisions, bras to wear, etc. A call would have been nice from the nurse to make sure I was alright and doing well post surgery. Everyone at Edina surgery center was great except the check in nurse. She wasn’t pleasant and kind of made me nervous before the surgery. After check in, the surgery center and Dr. Schaefer took good care of me. I give Dr. Schaefer 5 stars but his nurse Lori should work on post surgery follow up calls for every patient.

Great doctor and nurses very easy-going and communicative. Felt very safe and calm throughout the surgical process (had a nodule removed from behind my ear).

I am new to the area, from Houston, TX. I could have chosen anyone in the twin cities. I read all the wonderful reviews at Midwest plastic surgery center. However not one on Dr. Schroeder. It was a mistake to make an appointment with him. Im highly disappointed with my botox results. I had it done once before so I knew the potential. I did give him the chance to fix it but, unfortunately it was not. Although he seemed more attentive the second time I saw him, I did not get the results I wanted. I am so bummed and unhappy that my botox isn't good. I figured I would be better with a plastic surgeon, now I wish I would have went to someone that specializes in this and only this. I also did get juvaderm in my lips for the very first time. The results from that seem ok. When I told the nurse two minutes after my first appointment that I didn't think I got enough botox units she was SO SO RUDE and basically told me to bad. Thats what i paid for. I paid for just as much as I got before with not similar results. It just doesn't add up. I literally paid for more units with half the results. I sorta feel I was duped. So sad and UNHAPPY when you wait months to get this done and then you are miserable because you didn't get the results you had hoped. I don't wish that for anyone ever! It is so difficult to trust someone with your face and then when they don't give you the results it's horrible.
