- July 5, 2023 Dr. Shumaker could have cared less. I am a former cancer patient and was concerned about an issue and had been referred there by 2 doctors. He suggested options and I asked for his professional opinion. He then said that was up to me. Why would I be there if I didn’t want his opinion? I also asked a question about my sinuses (runny nose) and he told me to carry a Kleenex. In my lifetime I have never experienced such rudeness.
