South Barrington patients are about twelve minutes from my office, depending on where you start. The most direct route is south on Barrington Road, which runs straight from the village to my office at 1555 Barrington Road, DOB 3, Suite 2400, Hoffman Estates. Patients near The Arboretum of South Barrington or the Higgins Road / Mundhank Road area can take Higgins east, which is just as fast.
I am Dr. Keith Schmidt, MD, triple board-certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology, the American Board of Anesthesiology in Pain Medicine, and the American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians.
Why South Barrington patients choose this practice
South Barrington is one of the closest villages to the office. Patients here tend to come in with two distinct needs: working-age executives and families dealing with high-stress chronic neck and back pain, and active retirees who want their bodies back for travel, golf, or grandchildren. The practice is built for both.
What I tell every new patient: the goal is not just to lower your pain score. The goal is to get you back to the life you actually want to live, with as little medication as possible.

Frequently asked questions from South Barrington patients
How long is the drive from South Barrington?
About 12 minutes from the village center. Closer if you start near the I-90 corridor or The Arboretum.
I travel often for work. Will treatment fit my schedule?
Most of my procedures are scheduled in advance and can be planned around travel. Many require minimal recovery time. We will be specific about timelines once we have a plan.
I am healthy and active and just have one persistent issue. Is this practice for me?
Yes. A meaningful share of my patients are otherwise healthy people with one focal pain problem — a knee, a disc, a nerve — that interventional pain medicine is uniquely good at solving without surgery.
Do you offer regenerative options like PRP?
Yes, where the evidence supports it. We will discuss whether regenerative options, traditional injections, or interventional procedures fit your specific condition best.
