Biography
Dr. Chad Schmiedt received his DVM from the University of Georgia, College of Veterinary Medicine in 2000. Following five years of post-graduate surgical training at the University of Tennessee, the Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a two year clinical instructorship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in the summer of 2007 Dr. Schmiedt returned to UGA to join the faculty at the College of Veterinary Medicine as a soft tissue surgeon. Dr. Schmiedt is board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and holds the Alison Bradbury endowed chair within the Department of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery.
