He is an active member of the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology (ASPO) as well as the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. He is deeply committed to delivering compassionate and evidence-based care in all aspects of pediatric otolaryngology with a focus on disorders of the airway, pediatric voice, hearing loss, congenital neck masses, and refractory sleep apnea. He is a member of the Aerodigestive, Craniofacial, and Cochlear Implant multidisciplinary teams. He is extremely passionate about treating every patient and their caregivers as he would his own. When you see Dr. Schild with your child, you can be certain he will provide you with all of the available options using the best available evidence in his recommendation.

When he is not taking care of patients, you can usually find him spending time with his wife, daughter on the swings, riding scooters, reading children’s books, or watching Bluey. Recently, he is spending a lot of time changing diapers and washing bottles with his newborn son.
