Dr. Schuman received his doctorate from Washington University in 1985. Shortly after, he opened his practice in Creve Coeur, Missouri, where he’s been serving as a primary care dental provider ever since.

From the beginning of his practice, Dr. Schuman has focused his care and concern on those who typically feel uncomfortable in traditional dentists’ offices. In the course of his career, he co-authored a treatment program for the reduction of dental phobia and anxiety. He’s also made it easier for the elderly to receive dental care, serving many St. Louis area assisted living facilities.

Schuman Center Dental Aesthetics is the outgrowth of all his work advocating for every dental patient’s comfort. He and his staff create a warm and welcoming family atmosphere for people of all ages. 

As a result, in 2018, Dr. Schuman was named one of St. Louis’ Best Dentists by St. Louis Magazine. He was also recognized by the City of Creve Coeur for providing “valuable support and assistance to officers during a dangerous and extended incident.” 

He and his wife, Debby, have lived in the St. Louis area for over 30 years, where they’ve raised their 5 children. In his free time, Dr. Schuman enjoys his family’s company and his favorite hobby: making music on the violin.
