I can’t speak to Dr. Schulze’s technical expertise. However, one aspect of patient care is just that, “care.” While his office has very caring staff, Dr. Schulze’s bed side manner was less than desirable with my elderly 86-year old …
Excellent job with my Lasic eye surgery. Professional staff. Never waiting long to be seen. Dr. Schultz is very dedicated to do his absolute best to help your vision. After 40 years of glasses and or contacts none needed for 20/20 vision!!
As a retired medical professional, my expectations are quite high. Let’s start with his well trained, efficient and pleasant staff. Not my usual experience in office settings. They set the tone for the office visit. Because the office …

Both he and his staff performed every step of procedure in a timely, meticulous and courteous manner. Results oriented and clearly achieved .
Dr. Schulze and his staff were amazing. Dr. Schulze listened to my concerns, answered my questions thoroughly, and in general made me feel comfortable throughout the first few rough weeks after PRK. His staff was always friendly, welcoming, …
Dr Schultz not only corrected my eye issues he promises to continue keeping them healthy. Dr Schultz and staff make you feel like a special patient rather than just the next patient. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate Dr Schultz a 10 plus and will continue to go to the Schultz eye center for check ups on my eyes.
Second time I have had surgery done with Dr. Schulze and I couldn’t be happier or more satisfied with the outcome. The whole process was done with professionalism and care and the staff is great. This is the place to go if you need eye care!!
I have intentionally stayed away from healthcare services unless they are absolutely necessary; primarily because I think healthcare and insurance are a giant mess and in many ways fraudulent. When I first visited Dr. Schultz’s office I …
