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.

A complete success!
My hip replacement surgery was wonderful! I was given a clear set of instructions to follow before and after surgery, and i followed those instructions to the letter. My physical therapy was effective and enjoyable. This was an almost pain free process.

Two TKR's
Dr. Schultz preformed two TKR over the past year. I am very pleased with the results. He did a great job, I had a fast recovery.

Visits by Dr. Schultz
I have been seeing Doctor Schultz for many years regarding 2 bad knees. He was always kind, personable and often quite fun and willing to help me in any way he could, i.e. injections and PT. Unfortunately, I was not able to have surgeries because of my situation minding an elderly man in my home. I will remain with him for more conservative treatments because of my age.

Outstanding Surgeon
Dr. Schultz and his entire staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, caring and good listeners while being professionals. Dr. Schultz performed a total left hip replacement. I had my right hip replaced years ago in Los Angeles. My first surgery left me with uneven leg lengths. Dr. Schultz corrected the situation. I am thrilled that I can stand and walk so much better!! Not to mention I am now pain free!!!

I thank God for Dr. Schultz
Dr. Schultz came highly recommended. He did not disappoint. He listens well and gave me honest feedback. He reviewed my x-rays and answered all my questions before setting the date for my hip replacement. His patience and kindness put me at ease from worry. The surgery went perfectly well, and I am now without pain. He has shown himself to be trustworthy and I am thankful to have him as my doctor. I also want to commend his medical and surgical team for their support.

Best for Hip Replacement
I had a knee replacement with another surgeon. Four years later I went back to him with knee problems. He couldn't find anything wrong. So I went to another specialist who then referred me to Dr Schultz. He suspected it was my hip, not my knee. He did a great job, though I still have some problems with the knee. I can walk again and straight and the hip is great. Thank you, Dr Schultz.

Hip replacement
Dr Schultz completed a perfect left hip replacement. I can now walk without pain and never had problems with surgery. This was performed in 2020. My recovery was complete. Now I need a right hip replacement and Dr Schultz will be my surgeon. Would not even consider another practitioner. I am very pleased and would recommend him 100 percent. Truly professional and gives me confidence at a difficult time.

Great Surgeon
Dr. Shultz is no nonsense. He tells it like it is. I needed surgery period. He was honest about that and told me I had no other options. I had to have a full knee replacement. He was my surgeon and he did an incredible job. Very informative and answered all my questions. His assistant Evelin in great as well. She is so helpful and stays on top of any questions you have.

The first 5 minutes of my appointment he spent detailing why I don't need surgery. Had the appointment ended there I would have given a 5 star review. The next 20 minutes of the appointment were spent telling me why he wouldn't perform surgery on me even if I needed it because he, "only operates on very skinny people." Thats a direct quote. He then proceeded to give me absolutely terrible dietary advice that goes against everything the dietician I see once a month has taught me. And to end the appointment he began to grab my legs and wrench them into positions that caused a great deal of pain. I don't know why he decided it important to show that moving in different ways causes pain. Its why I was there, I already knew that. In the end I'm relieved to not need surgery. I wouldn't want this doctor to perform it even if I did.

he was great - he laid out my all my options up to - was straight forward on all the issues and questions I had - the replacement went great I was back to work a week later and no one believed I had a replacement - if and when I need another one done he is the man to do it and since then I have passed on his name to others

Dr. Schultz is one of those surgeon that was meant to be in his craft. He is straight forward- at the beginning of my mother's journey, he laid out all of her options, treatments and potential outcomes. I admire the dedication he presents to his patients and I'm thankful for him helping my 80+ year old mother. My mother was in constant pain and almost confined, but thanks to Dr. Schultz's excellent skills, and God's blessing, she can now walk and move around again. Our gratitude is beyond words.

My experience was bad.He did a hip replacement that dislocated, often daily. Doubting it was really dislocating he sent me to MD in the same practice for a 2nd opinion. He found it dislocated by turning my foot. When he did a revision, That procedure resulted in a handicap placard. Said if I quoted him re activity post op he would deny it under oath. my Md will not send pts to him again. Not my kind of doctor.
