Let me make this simple...Dr. Schumer never, ever, ever, rushes through our visits. He is always there to thoroughly answer any-and-all questions I have. No matter how long it takes. Unbelievable chairside manner. And, his staff is priceless!!! Zero turnover. That says everything!

I have found Dr. Schumer and his staff to be very kind and helpful. They go out of their way to help my current situation whatever it may be.

No one could ask for a more intelligent, compassionate and forward thinking doctor. I am happy to be a patient in his practice and hope he chooses to practice for a long time. Thanks for always being there!!
I was a patient of Dr Schumer’s prior to MDVIP. I am extremely satisfied with our relationship. Dr Schumer listens, ask questions, and offers suggestions and solutions. He is the ultimate professional and I highly respect him for his knowledge. He had always been there for me and I thank him for that.
I recently came down with the flu and called Dr. Schumer on his personal number about worsening symptoms. Though he was away on vacation, he recognized concerning conditions and ordered numerous scans and a biopsy at a local medical facility. These revealed a malignant tumor in my lung area. With unceasing, tireless effort Joy Tritsch arranged all the necessary scans, tests, and medical… See more
Never in a rush. Always has plenty of time to answer all my questions and address my concerns. Plus, he has a damn fine personality!
Furthermore, he has the staff of the century! Joy and Melissa are as good as it gets. They always return my calls promptly and professionally, while addressing my requests to my satisfaction.
Dr. Schumer can retire when I am pushing daisies. No sooner.
