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.

Dr. Schulman is terrific!
My husband and I are so happy with our decision to follow Dr. Schulman from her previous office to her Figtree, Direct Primary Care practice.We love having a way to communicate directly with our primary doctor (through the Spruce App or by phone), rather than through office staff or having to make appointments for everything. Dr. Schulman is very responsive with communications, and if needed, gets us in to see her quickly. This saves so much time, worry, and money!Dr. Shulman's office is modern and welcoming, and the time and attention afforded by the DPC model has been really beneficial to us. Our first visits at her new practice allowed her the time to finally get to know more about us as people, listen to our concerns, and provide whole health assessments and insights. Subsequent visits, communications, and coordination with specialists have been so much more effective and efficient because there's a real familiarity and foundation. Dr. Schulman is sma

I’ve been seeing Dr. Schulman for several years as my primary care physician. She is the most down-to-earth, plain-spoken physician I’ve ever met. She’s helped me find practical solutions for my concerns or ailments, and does a fair amount of research before seeing me for an issue (which she readily admits, which is refreshing). She’s awesome.

Dr. Schulman doesn't want to do annual or other blood work to detect health problems. She doesn't want to test for anything, to see what the problem is, and then only prescribe medications. She just pushes the pills "to see if they will help"... I would not recommend this doctor to anyone who wants to find out their real health problems.

Dr. Shulman is a true professional. She listens patiently to my questions and concerns. She answers frankly and shows compassion when it is warranted. I never feel rushed. There should be a six star option available to cover the likes of Dr. Shulman.
