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.

I've been going to Dr. Schultz for over ten years. He has always looked out in my best interest. Whenever there is a doubt he has referred me to a specialist. Highly recommend.

Dr. Shultz was my primary care physician for four years. I repeatedly came to him with the same symptoms and all he looked at was my thyroid as I have hypothyroidism. He continuously dismissed my symptoms and concerns. He said to me "you have thyroid disease, you're never going to feel normal". That was his answer to my symptoms. I was so sick to the point I could not function and ended up going to the hospital as a last resort. When I got there they informed me that my blood was so low I needed 2 blood transfusions or my organs would shut down and I would die. They discovered that my blood count was so low due to anemia and I also received three iv bags of iron while I was there. I am now on an iron supplement and my symptoms have improved. All Dr. Shultz had to do was a simple blood test for iron and I would have avoided a 5 day stay at the hospital and near death experience. If I had continued under his care, I would be dead. Dr. Shultz failed me.

He accused me of drinking and stated that I looked like a drunk derelict because my face nose eyes and ears were red. I have a disease that causes those symptoms. He didn’t want to hear about my chart or believe any of my blood tests. He refused to sign my disability continuance basically telling me I was not legitimately sick. He is very unprofessional. He did finally write a prescription for blood pressure meds after I have had that as a chief complaint for the last 6 visits and it has always been high.

I have been going to Dr. Schultz for about six years. I find him honest and accurate with his assessments. If he's not sure, or if he is relatively sure, he will have test done and refer patients to specialists. His laid back style may bother some people, but I find it refreshing.

Dr Schultz listens to our concerns closely. His integrity and honesty is what has kept us going to him over the last 10 years. When my husband suffered a stroke Dr. Schultz's empathy and compassion toward my husband's recovery was amazing. If either my husband or myself had an abnormal lab or scan, Dr Schultz did not hesitate in contacting us and advising us as to further testing, new appointment or medication. Hopefully he will never retire.

Dr. David Schultz is a 5 star MD. I'd highly recommend him, his diagnoses are spot on. I had suffered for years with Rheumatoid arthritis and didn't know until his diagnoses. In less then 24 hours he had the lab work back and a referral ready for a Rheumatology Specialist. Dr. Schultz has been my Primary Physician ever since. I'd highly recommend Dr. David Schultz to you or anyone in this region. You are in Trustworthy hands with Dr. David Schultz and his staff.

Awful! On my first visit a nurse did triage and his doc walks in the room with another man as I was dressing, never knocked. They went over to a small counter with their backs to me, I asked who his partner was, he said "my scribe". I asked if he was a PA and he said "no, my scribe'. The doc never introduced himself nor asked about me and when I asked a question he held up my file and said " is this you?" I said I was not comfortable with him and he said "fine" and walked out. STAY AWAY.

I have had numerous health issues over the past 5 years and Doctor Schultz always took time to research and work one on one to find the issues and ways to properly treat them and referred me to specialist as needed to get the proper care. He provides a level of patient care and caring that lacks in most medical professionals.

I've been visiting Dr. Schultz for over four years. He has properly diagnosed my chronic back pain, knees, and intestinal problems, each time referring me to an appropriate, in-network specialist. In addition, he spends more time with me during visits than other doctors, listens to my medical issues, and provides timely and understanding medical explanations. I have never waited more than 5 minutes to be seen. His staff is friendly, courteous, and attentive.

I am a Veteran and was in need of a primary care provider. I have sarcoidosis with eye, lung and heart involvement. I'm also diabetic (type two); as a result of the medications I'm prescribed, to keep sarcoid in remission. I see specialists mostly but Dr. Shultz is a hands on guy; if you will, and respects the decision of the specialist (M.D.), that are also providing treatment for me. He says You're winning! He's a winner and it shows, he loves keeping people well.
