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.

This man is a saint!
Dr. Schultz is an exceptional emergency physician who combines top-notch medical expertise with outstanding bedside manner. He explained everything clearly and showed genuine compassion not just to my son, the patient, but to me and my worried family members as well. His calm, professional approach and charming personality helped bring down the stress level. Highly recommended!

Fixed my shoulder dislocation
I came into the ER with a dislocated shoulder and i was really scared, but Dr. Schultz came in and was very kind and reassuring. He had a great sense of humor and knew exactly how to comfort someone who had been in pain for hrs. I feel so grateful and wish I could thank him personally. I would have to say he's a sweet, but cool walking angel in these ER halls.

Dr. Matt Schultz
I had the good fortune to be evaluated and treated by Dr. Schultz this week in the Memorial Care emergency room. He was thorough, communicated clearly the procedures and test results and in the middle of a bustling, full emergency room, made me feel as though I was his only patient. I was released better informed, confident and feeling grateful for his experience, knowledge and kindness.

Dr. Schultz treated me a Saddleback ER. I'd been having stomach discomfort, gas, cramps and diarrhea for over two weeks. Another ER physician saw me a few days earlier, asked a few superficial questions and dismissed me as having alcohol-related damage and a pancreas that was working too hard (wtf?). 4 days later I was back in the ER, being examined by Dr. Schultz. He was thorough and LISTENED... sent me for a CAT scan that determined I had a bacterial infection. Antibiotics...better now!
