Our Compassionate Care Team
Clayton Schroeder, MD
I am a homegrown Nebraskan from a small town in the northeast corner of the state. Born prematurely, I spent six weeks in a NICU, an experience that inspired my desire to help others in the way I was helped. My father was a veterinarian, and through him, I was introduced to the medical field early on. While I admired his work, I knew from a young age that I wanted to care for people. I pursued a biology degree at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln before continuing my medical training…
Bailie Appel, DNP
I’m Bailie Appel, a Family Nurse Practitioner committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care. After earning my BSN from Clarkson College, I worked as a registered nurse for five years before completing my Doctorate to become an FNP. I value building trust and offering personalized care to every patient I meet. Outside of work, I enjoy time with my husband, our two kids, and our dogs. I’m an outdoor enthusiast who loves golfing, sporting events, reading, and traveling. These connections and an active lifestyle reflect the care and energy I bring…

Real Patients. Real Trust.
Dr. Schroeder is very likeable and takes his time. I don't feel like I'm bothering him :)
Staff at doctor's offices are a big thing for me. The person answering the phone, scheduling your appointment and greeting you when you come in, say a lot about a company so why should healthcare be any different? The ones who answer the phone and greet you at this office are amazing. My favorite is Jeff. He is so nice, jokes around with me and is easy to talk to. I don't dread calling in there because I know he will take care of me.
Then once I go in, it is always a very pleasant experience. Dr. Schroeder is so wonderful. He listens to you, sympathizes and also makes sure to educate you on the whys, dos and don'ts of things. He doesn't make you feel bad about yourself for things, but rather tries to offer solutions and education on how you can change those things yourself or tips on how to help it.
Seriously if you are looking for a new primary, he is the one for you and his fabulous office staff will take care of you like one of their own!
