    Treating Doctor:
  • “My exam was thorough, and I was very pleased with Dr. Schumann's diagnostic skills. After the physical exam and various x-rays, my arthritis was noted. However, he proceeded further with the ultrasound and found a Baker's cyst. I appreciated his more complete search for my pain, not just resorting to arthritis as the cause. Dr. Schumann is a good diagnostician. He also explained things and showed me his findings, making him a good practitioner.”

    Treating Doctor:
  • “Dr. Jennings performed surgery on my right-hand several years ago. When I called him with a post-surgical problem, he told me to meet him at the surgical center, and he would look at my hand between surgeries. That really impressed me. In September, he treated me for a problem with my left thumb tendon. If I need surgery in the future, I will call upon him.”
