Meet Dr. Schnatz

Dr. Schnatz believes in building lasting relationships with her patients and helping women feel informed, supported, and confident in their health care decisions. As an OB/GYN, she feels privileged to care for women through every stage of life, from preventive and gynecologic care to pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. Her approach centers on patient education, individualized care, and making sure every woman feels heard and comfortable discussing her health.

Originally from Western New York, Dr. Schnatz has called Richmond home since 2018 and has fallen in love with the area and its community. After completing medical school in Erie, Pennsylvania, she went on to complete her residency in Pittsburgh. She has been in private practice since graduating in 2012 and feels fortunate to be part of a practice dedicated to providing outstanding care for women.

Being the first in her family to pursue a career in medicine has made her journey especially rewarding. She is passionate about helping patients understand their health, make informed decisions, and feel empowered throughout their care.

Outside of the office, Dr. Schnatz enjoys spending time with her husband and their three amazing children. Whether they’re playing outside, traveling, cooking together (Blue Aprons), or just being silly, she loves making memories with her family. She also enjoys taking Pure Barre classes and cheering on her favorite football team, the Buffalo Bills. Having grown up in Western New York, her Bills pride runs deep, so don’t be surprised if you hear her say, “Go Bills!”

She looks forward to getting to know you and partnering with you on your health care journey!
