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.

He’s a nice guy but a good doctor is another question. He proceeded to dismiss me due to being over weight, pushing bariatric surgery. When he ordered tests he ordered antibody tests for my thyroid which came back incredibly high. I had informed him that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease prior and when I asked him about the antibody test he told me they don’t treat that there only hypothyroidism. He again tried to push bariatric surgery completely ignoring all the symptoms I complained about. My thyroid has since gotten worse. I will never see this doctor again.

Staff are unsure of which insurance they accept, take extensive time in scheduling followups and physician cares more about payment than patient's well-being. I would not ever return.

Dr. Robert Schulman is patient caring and thorough. I am going to recommend him to anyone that asks me about a doctor. I think I'm going to send my husband to him as well. I think he is excellent!
