It went well. Dr. Shumacher was engaging and attentive. The insertion was relatively painless and quick. Anthony was the person who oriented me. He was very friendly and kind. The experience was very positive. A lot of informationShow more but they have a support network to help work through the process.
Excellent bariatric doctor. He explained things very well and told me about the next step in addressing my problem. Excellent listener. Very good experience.
David Schumacher, MD, FACS, FASMBS, is a board-certified general surgeon specializing in laparoscopic general surgery and surgical weight loss. He diagnoses and treats patients at Ohio Bariatrics and Laparoscopy in Springboro, Ohio.
Dr. Schumacher is a pioneer in laparoscopic weight loss surgery and minimally invasive general surgeries, having performed these operations as early as 1992. Dr. Schumacher has always sought the newest procedures involving minimally invasive surgery. His mission has always been to seek the best possible options and provide the best care to improve the community’s health.
He graduated from residency at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in 1993 and joined a practice in Pennsylvania. He sought specialized training in laparoscopic approaches at the Minimally Invasive Institute in Baltimore, Maryland.
Dr. Schumacher has always been at the leading edge of surgical innovation, particularly in laparoscopic procedures and bariatric surgery. From 1993 to 2000, Dr. Schumacher performed, lectured, and proctored laparoscopic approaches for reflux surgery, ventral hernias, appendectomies, intestinal resection, inguinal hernias, adrenalectomies, and liver ablation.
The pinnacle in surgery for laparoscopy is bariatric surgery. He opened his first laparoscopic weight loss office in 2000 and became one of the first 200 surgeons in the United States to perform a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a laparoscope. Dr. Schumacher presented his findings on the safety of a laparoscopic approach in 2004 to the American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS) at the national convention listed as “The Use of Intra-operative Endoscopy and the ‘Bubble Test’ to Prevent Leaks During Laparoscopic Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass.”
In 2005, Dr. Schumacher was hired by Kettering Health Network to develop a laparoscopic bariatric practice. He began Kettering Bariatrics and was the Director of Bariatric Surgery from 2005 to 2019. Dr. Schumacher was paramount in developing a Center of Excellence, and the institution was awarded that distinction for all years at Kettering. In 2006, Dr. Schumacher was one of the first surgeons in the country to perform a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. He lectured and proctored surgeons across the country from 2006 to 2009, helping in the development of sleeve gastrectomy as an accepted covered benefit by most insurance carriers. After leaving Kettering in 2019, he developed a third bariatric practice at Norton-KDH Hospital in Madison, Indiana. He now has the opportunity to begin a private practice returning to the Dayton community.
Throughout the years, Dr. Schumacher has become the most experienced laparoscopic surgeon in Southwestern Ohio. In bariatrics alone, he has performed over 4000 bariatric cases, which have included laparoscopic procedures for gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, band placements, duodenal switch, SIPs procedures, conversion of sleeve to Roux, conversion of older procedures to more recent, and revisional surgery. He welcomes former patients, new patients, and transfer patients to his new practice, Ohio Bariatrics and Laparoscopy. Surgeries will be performed at Premier Health or Riverview Health Institute.

I had a wonderful consultation. I feel very comfortable with the doctor and staff here.
Very good doctor and team
Dr Schumacher basically saved my life. I had been sick for 2 years and getting no help each time I went to the ER. Ft Hamilton hospital found my med records from 26 years ago under my old name. From there I was transferred to Atrium hospital and Dr Schumacher was willing to take my case on. He said I was malnourished and needed surgery to fix things from 26 years ago, it was more extensive, I suppose, than originally thought. He ended up doing 3 surgeries in about an 8 day period. It has been the hardest part of my life after all I went thru but I can say he was sent to me by God, he has excellent bedside manners and he truly cares about all his patients. I will never forget him and if anyone needs general surgery or weight loss surgery I highly recommend him. I have never dealt with a physician as kind hearted as he is. His staff has always been great too. Everyone was so kind to me, including his nurse practitioner, Jade. Thank you again Dr Schumacher and Jade. I will never forget you.
