About
I grew up in Wisconsin and after being away for 8 years during college and medical school, I was very happy with the opportunity to complete my training to become a pediatrician in Milwaukee. It is a privilege to be able to care for your children from when they are newborns until they are adults. I strive to focus on prevention of illnesses through a healthy lifestyle and making sure to involve your family in decision making. I understand the importance of considering your own family's unique life experiences and obstacles to make sure your children grow up to be the healthiest adults they can be. Becoming a parent myself has been the most wonderful experience of my life. She has made me realize how difficult it can be to be a parent at times, but how amazing it is at the same time. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, travel, and exercise outdoors.

Dr. Schimek is always easily approachable and open for discussion. I feel at ease with her evaluations and recommendations because she takes the time to explain and consider all options.
Dr Abby is amazing. We've felt comfortable with her since day one. She always takes the time to listen to all of my concerns and I know she truly cares for our daughter. I'm a first time mom and she has also been so great supporting me and all of my first time mom questions with patience and understanding. There are other pediatricians closer to us, but the care we receive from Dr Abby is well worth the extra commute.
