Amanda Schwer, M.D. | Radiation Oncologist

After seeing a surgeon and an oncologist, I saw Dr. Schwer. I went with the treatment plan that she gave me. The best decision that I made. She is very caring and took great care of me. After I'm doing well.

Cares about her patients and stays on top of testing so that problems can be treated quickly. She and her staff are so kind. I feel like they are part of my team routing for me.

Dr. Schwer simply saved my life. Not only is she extremely kind and gentle, she is extremely intelligent and capable of thinking through all possible diagnosis even if they are very rare. Multiple other doctors affiliated with Hoag assumed that my brain tumor was a benign scwannoma or atypical meningioma and recommended cyberknife radiation. Upon further Imaging Dr. Schwer became suspicious that the tumor looked more like a potential Chondrosarcoma, which is very rare for this location. She sent me to UCSD for a consultation where it was ultimately decided for surgical resection, when pathology came back it turned out that Dr. Shcwer was correct and it was a Grade II Chondrosarcoma. I applaud her ability to diagnose something so uncommon and to know when the treatment she provides was not the correct treatment for the issue. Thank you Dr. Shwer from the bottom of my heart.
