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.

Minor Surgery Without Topical Anesthetic
He performed minor surgery to debrade my eardrum without topical anesthetic. I was writhing and grunting in pain. He noticed and said he didn't want to torture me, but continued.

Dr Schultz may be helpful for other issues, but for nasal polyps, not so much. Dr Schultz is trained by a industry, to support a industry. He has been trained to do surgery and prescribe pharmaceuticals to treat the symptoms. There is no attack on the actual root cause of my affliction, to no fault of his, there just isn't enough information on it. Unfortunately, that keeps a patient locked into repeated pharmaceutical bombardment, with only temporary relief.

The begining of January I had a vape explode in my mouth and rushed to the Munson emergency room where Dr Shultz was the doctor that responded to my case, I was extremely happy with his profesionality. The other doctors were talking about doing plastic surgury and he was confident that he could stich it up and make everything look good when healed. I am very happy with his choice and after healing for a period of time it is barely noticeable! Thank you for being a great doctor!

Dr. Schultz is a very rude person. Does not handle children well is very judgmental and arrogant. He is not professional and I would never take my 2 son to see him again. Very horrible experience.
