Dr. Jessica Shuman, MD

Rude comments to patients and doesn’t listen to concerns

Was referred to Dr Shuman for a Laparoscopic hysterectomy by one of her associates. I had met Dr Shuman when she delivered our youngest granddaughter by a C-section the night before Thanksgiving 8 years ago. We were very thankful for her decision to do the C-section that night and have a healthy baby and daughter. She is very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Takes her time to explain the procedure and answer any questions or concerns. The surgery was an out patient surgery, and I was back home that afternoon. She communicated with my husband as to how the surgery went, and I was up walking and had not one problem. I had a 2 week follow up appointment and am feeling so much better than I had been feeling before the hysterectomy. I highly recommend Dr. Shuman and feel like I’m in very capable care with her.

Dr. Shuman is always on time, approachable, considerate of my needs, and informative. I hope she stays with MNHG as long as I live. I highly recommend her.

Dr Shuman is a gifted physician. She exhibits resolve, knowledge, sensitivity and is quick to act to find solutions! I am blessed to have her as my physician and I trust her with complete confidence to keep me healthy. She shows a vested interest in any conversations or issues I may discuss! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a physician who seems to always get it rright!

Felt rushed during my visit. Received conflicting answers to my questions between Dr. Shuman and another Dr. Didn't answer questions well.

Performed an exam on me during my GBS test without explaining anything first or even telling me she was doing the exam, so I did not have the opportunity to give informed consent at all. Not to mention it was painful! Also put measurements in my chart that she did not take and did not give me the information she said she would about my baby’s position. That was only my most recent visit. During my first visit with her I had mentioned slight skin irritation and she automatically went to worst case scenario saying it could be PUPPPs which would lead to a preterm delivery. Turned out to be a normal muscle spasm causing some slight discomfort. I would honestly have her removed from my care team but I’m so close to my due date I’m just going to avoid scheduling with her and am super thankful my husband will be with me during delivery if, God forbid, she is the one on call. I have had a wonderful experience with every other doctor in this practice and would highly recommend them.

Dr. Shuman is awful. Unkind, rushes, doesn't explain anything re: what to expect in terms of treatment, etc. Doesn't ask if you have any questions. Why is she in the patient care field?

Very poor bedside manner and listening skills.
