Grove City dentist retires months after patient dies after procedure

GROVE CITY, Ohio (WCMH) — A Grove City dentist has announced his retirement months after a patient became unresponsive during a procedure and later died. 'After much soul-searching, I have made the difficult decision to retire from dentistry, effective immediately,' Dr. Scott Schumann said in a statement. 'The events of the past few months, following the tragic passing of one of our patients, have weighed heavily on me both mentally and emotionally.' Schumann owns Grove City Dental along Gantz Road. He said he will work to assist employees with a smooth transition to other opportunities and will work to transfer patients to other practitioners. Black bear spotted in Licking County for the first time in over two decades 'I can't thank them enough for their continued trust in me and for their unwavering support during this incredibly challenging time,' he said. 'It's meant the world to me. I am grateful beyond words. It has been a genuine honor to serve the Grove City community.' According to an incident summary, Grove City police responded to a 911 call on Feb. 13 at Grove City Dental and found Michael Beesler unresponsive while Schumann was administering CPR.
