Dr. Jennifer Boothe

Heike Schmolck, MD, specializes in neurology at MercyOne Ruan Neurology Care in Des Moines, Iowa. I am a behavioral neurologist, which means I have special training in the treatment of memory disorders and dementing illnesses, but I also see general neurology patients for headaches, stroke, seizures etc. I grew up in the Rhine River Valley in Germany, with the Black Forest on one side and France on the other.I went to Medical School in Freiburg, Germany, graduating in 1994. I spent several months doing clinical electives in the US in 1992 and 1994. I started a medical dissertation on memory disorders while in medical school, and finished it in 1996. I worked in inpatient neurology for three years, but also ran the memory clinic with a colleague during that time. In 1998, I started a postdoctoral fellowship at UCSD in California, doing work with human amnesia patients for two years. Following this, I decided to continue my career in the US, and had to redo a medical internship which I did in Iowa City, and then a neurology residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. I stayed on for a two year fellowship in Behavioral Neurology/Neuropsychiatry.I am married with three boys, and enjoy gardening, hiking and photography. We have a flock of funny chickens, two cats, two bunnies and many fish. As neurologists we don't usually cure our patients, so my passion is for achieving the highest possible quality of life for them, build a relationship and walk the walk together, wherever it may lead.
