“Over the years of my early schooling and training, treating oncology patients was always the most rewarding. I am amazed by the strength of these people, and awed by their family support, which inspires me to work harder toward building a partnership in recovery. I strive to develop the best treatment plan, ensuring that I’ve explored all options to find the right one for every person. I want you to have confidence that you’ve received a well-informed, honest representation of your condition and treatment options. It’s my goal to be approachable, to ensure your comfort with my recommendations and expertise, and to listen to your concerns and goals.”

  • "I have been working with Dr Schuman and Astera to treat my cancer since March 2023. Dr Schuman has the experience and the attitude to give me confidence that the treatment recommended is the best course for me and that takes away the anxiety. He is thorough in his follow up and answers every question honestly and in non clinical terms. The entire staff at the Astera sites in Monroe and been wonderful in treating me. I recommend both Dr Schuman and Astera for anyone with a cancer diagnosis"
