It says a lot about your character when the people you work with sing your praises. That was the scenario recently when a team member nominated Dr. Eric Schommer for RiverView Health’s Employee of the Month honor.

Dr. Schommer is a urologist at RiverView and the Employee of June. A native of Munich, ND, Dr. Schommer joined RiverView in 2018. After receiving his medical degree from the University of North Dakota, he completed his residency in urology at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL. Dr. Schommer has practiced with Sanford Health, Fargo, and sees patients at RiverView twice a month. He specializes in urological surgery. His services include minimally invasive robotic surgery, vasectomy, laser stone removal, incontinence surgery, and penile implants. He treats prostate and kidney cancer, erectile dysfunction, and urinary incontinence.

“Dr. Schommer practices at the highest standards of excellence and has the respect of his colleagues and co-workers,’ stated a nomination in his honor. “His demeanor and approach to his patients are friendly and kind, and he takes the time to answer their questions thoroughly. They leave feeling like they were treated with the utmost respect. This is something that I hear from his patients all the time. He treats the staff the same way. He is so good at educating co-workers on diagnosis and procedures. He views all of us as a team. He welcomes student practitioners. His procedure skills are concise and always protect the patient’s integrity. His patients learn quickly that they can trust him because he takes the time to explain as he goes. Dr. Schommer is very frank in his level of importance and how much he means to our clinic. He never views himself as a one-person show. He will state that we did it as a team. RiverView is extremely lucky to have him practice here.’”
