Jarrett Schanzer, a doctor
who grew up in Holmdel, is looking for love, and went all the way to the United
Kingdom to try to find it on a new dating series themed on early 19th
Century England.
Schanzer now practices medicine in Miami. He is a
contestant on "The Courtship,” competing with other bachelors to win the love of
one woman, and that courtship conducted with the trappings of a castle, 18th
century clothing, and customs.
Schanzer says he was ready to
take a break from work to seek out a love connection.
"I found myself really focused throughout medical school and
residency on becoming the best doctor that I could be for my patients and so
when I finally have the opportunity to meet someone and connect,” says Schanzer. “I'm looking for someone on a more
deeper level than just superficial."
"The Courtship" premieres on NBC on Sunday.
