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.

No rushing
Dr. Schultheiss made us feel like we had all the time we needed to answer all of our questions, and no question was dumb. He was thoughtful in his answers and very kind. There were 5 of us in the room, and all of us liked him very much.

Dr. Schultheiss
Recently treated by Dr. Schultheiss fir a metastatic lung cancer tumor attatched to my right upper humerus bone, just under the shoulder joint. I am now three months out from surgery and doing very well. Dr. Schultheiss is very knowledgeable and informative. He is also excellent in co-ordinating with doctors with other disciplines to achieve a great result. Never met a doctor who is more dedicated.

Outstanding Dr.
Dr. Schultheiss is the best. He takes his time, explains things well, shares everything and reviews tests with the patient and answers their questions. Conscientious and thorough, it’s clear that nothing gets by him. Fortunately, he came to me highly recommended and I certainly highly recommend this extremely competent and kind medical professional and his entire staff. I feel grateful to have them all.

Second MRI (6months) Glioblastoma IV no tumors!!!
Prognosis was 12 to 15 months when the neurosurgeon removed the first (glioblastoma IV) tumor November 2020 at St. Alphonsus. (The doctor in the ER at St Luke’s didn’t think my son would make it through the night.) Dr Schultheiss is using Temodar and an OPTUNE device. Second tumor removed January 2022. Dr Schultheiss and team’s dedication paid off. This visit was part celebration (cancer free since August 2022) Dr Schultheiss “LIKES” good news! Back to business (abdominal abscess has finally healed unrelated to glioblastoma) re-start Avastin Infusion. (Avastin Infusion had to be be stopped to allow for healing of abscess) February 8, 2023 Schedule Labs, Dr Schultheiss & Avastin Infusion. Back on track every two weeks.

Brilliant hematologist. I have a complicated bone marrow condition that is causing profound polyneuropathy. My neurologist said there was nothing more she could do. Dr Schultheiss has taken a special interest in my case and has proposed IVIG infusion therapy. I have had two and have seen some improvement. He has gone beyond just being a treating provider and has taken a scientific interest in my condition. All the nurses in the infusion clinic speak highly of him.
