My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

My philosophy of practice mandates equal attention be paid to patient education, patient treatment, and patient peace of mind. Because the connection between mind and body has been repeatedly proven, gaining peace of mind for my patients is a crucial component of my care. My goal is for my patients to feel more secure and empowered when they leave my office than when they arrived. Achieving this goal requires more time with patients, not less - and cannot be rushed, cannot be hurried, and must be scripted solely based on patient need. I strongly believe that the amount of time required for this type of care is simply "as much as it takes" - and nothing less.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Schumer

from Alvin in KY February 21, 2014 for Barry Schumer, MD

Dr. Schumer has been my doctor for over 30 years. During this time, most of my visits have been for yearly checkups. Since joining MDVIP, I am amazed and grateful for the extra amount of time Dr. Schumer is able to spend discussing the results of my physical. I know that if needed, I will be able to get a quick appointment to see him. Thank you Dr. Schumer.
