Dr. Schumer

Meet Barry Schumer, MD

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of Barry Schumer, MD

Surpised everyone!

from Linda in KY • March 25, 2024
Dr. Schumer is just the best and he employs an incredible, caring staff. I'm not certain if I could pick out just one moment because he has always been there for both my husband and me, whether for a regular physical where he is ready to listen and to give great advice, or when he showed up at the hospital after surgery surprising and delighting even the nurses (who couldn't believe my general Read more...

Doctor Patient Relationship

from Marion in KY • March 13, 2024
Since Dr Schumer has been my family physician, I can’t identify one particular health issue that has made a major difference in my overall health. However, he has successfully treated and cured blood clots (four in one leg), severe back pain, treatment of a major ankle injury and breathing problems. These are only a few of the many health issues I have experienced. I have so much confidence in Dr Read more...

Home Visit

ALL 3 VERY GOOD PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!

A caring physician.

from Darryl in KY • March 10, 2024
I've enjoyed being Dr. Schumer's patient for the last 22 years. He respected the informed consent aspects of our relationship. I've been blessed with good health and few medical problems. I especially appreciated the respect he showed when I refused Covid19 "vaccine". I'm not a supporter of vaccines in general. As confirmed especially now with the evidence of the Read more...

Recognize Your MDVIP Doctor

from Marion in KY • February 26, 2024
Approximately Thirty Years ago I changed my family physician and began a long relationship with Dr. Barry Schumer. One of my best decisions I have ever made. Dr. Schumer has treated my illnesses and never hesitates if he is unsure about a medical issue to refer me to a physician who specializes in treating my medical issue. After my last Medical Awareness Exam, Dr. Schumer informed me the results Read more...
