About Me

Radiation oncologist Amanda Schwer, M.D. knew she wanted to be a cancer doctor for as long as she can remember, inspired by the doctors who cured a sibling who faced aggressive disease in early childhood. 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. Her postgraduate training was comprised of a preliminary medicine internship at The Ohio State University  and a radiation oncology residency at the University of Colorado Denver, where she served as chief resident. At her previous institution, Hoag Memorial Hospital, she cultivated extensive experience in stereotactic radiation, a method to deliver high doses of radiation precisely to a tumor while sparing healthy tissue.

Outside of her work, Dr. Schwer enjoys surfing, skiing, and boating as well as spending time with her spouse and three young kids.

Patient ratings
Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
