Dr Schumacher was a great doctor to speak to. He took his time and was personal. He contacted us directly to talk through MRI results and was always at hand to discuss any further treatment plans and referrals. He made my father feel reassured. Thank you!

My review with Dr Schumacher was excellent he made me feel very comfortable and able to discuss my issues openly which I hadn’t been able to with other specialists. I will continue to see Dr Schumacher and I would highly recommend him
