Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Years ago Dr. Schultz was my primary physician. She found something amiss with me that even specialists had overlooked. I highly recommend her.

EXCELLENT DOCTOR
I have been going to Dr Shultz since 2005 and she is always knowledgeable and takes her time with you to go over everything with you. The office staff on my most recent visit was efficient and helpful. Special shout out to Tiffany!

untrustworthy
I have called 3 times to get an appointment to have my medications refilled. I was told My Health insurance was out of network. I called 08/17/2022 and 08/17/2022. I have since received 2 letters stating my insurance is still in network. I called again 11/16/2022. I called my insurance company to confirm Dr. Shultz is still covered in network. I was told my insurance was no longer covered. I mention that I received letter stating plan changes will take effective 01/2023. I was told they would check and call me back. This is my 3rd attempt to get my medications refilled. This office is unprofessional. The Front staff is rude and not friendly. Please do your research before you make an appointment with this doctor or have to deal with the front desk.

This is the worst, most rude, front desk people I have ever encountered. I went here for about a year and I couldn’t take how rude they were anymore. The doctor is ok but they triple book appointments so if you would like to spend half your day here and be treated like garbage from the front desk, good luck to you.

If you like to wait 2 hours go to Dr Shultz If you want a doctor who has taken on too many patients and they walk in the door and say we are only seeing patients for 1 thing because we are so busy. Example: my father was in for a recheck for pneumonia and developed a new rash, so there one thing was to look at the rash, they wouldn't even listen to see if his lungs were clear, no blood work to check his white blood cell count. To me there is nothing good about this practice anymore.

Front office staff are horribly rude. Office phones are frequently turned over to answering service for hours at a time. Getting a sick appointment is impossible!
