Her treatment approach is very much in line with City of Hope’s tradition of compassion: Quite simply, the patient always comes first. As a third-generation Orange County native, Dr Schwer is proud to play a part in bringing extraordinary cancer care to the community that is so close to her heart. Dr Schwer earned her medical degree from the Ohio State University College of Medicine.
