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.

Although colonoscopies aren't fun Dr Schulman is a very nice person and he made me as comfortable as I could possibly be. He was very thorough in explaining the procedure which was great. Also, a word about his office staff; they are very efficient and super nice.

Dr Schulman and his staff seem determined to take the “Un” out of an unpleasant procedure. I recently had a colonoscopy and everything from the newer prep procedure to the office staff, nurses, facility, and doctor follow up was great. Dr Schulman and the anesthesiologist were calming and explained everything. I got clear post instructions and two follow up calls inquiring about my well-being in addition to the doctor’s call. I highly recommend This medical group.

He can't be bothered to answer basic questions about my esophageal procedure. Its been six days and counting. UPDATE: Someone from the office just called, didn't leave a message, and when I called back immediately thereafter, they had no record of such a call. This is how they treat people waiting for biopsy results.

Dr. Schulman is great. The only problem is it’s so hard to get in to see him. Most of the time when I call he’s booked, usually no available appointments for up to two weeks later. But if you want to talk with him, if you leave a message he always calls back, usually the same day. He’s a great guy!

Dr Schulman is a great Dr. very caring and calming about an uncomfortable procedure. He explained that he would call about something and he called when he said he would. He also remembered something from my initial visit and asked about it. I find it very comforting when my Dr is familiar with my file to remember something from several months prior.

NEVER in my entire life have a dealt with a practice so bad. They should be shut down. For starters, they have zero bedside manner. Secondly, I was scared and anxious during my colonoscopy because it was in pretty much a non sterile backroom closet. I expressed my concern to which the doctors and nurses yelled at me and gave me an attitude, "you want to leave, leave. We don't have time for this." Meanwhile my heart was racing on the machine. I got zero follow up after they told me they'd call to

I brought my 85 year old mother in to see Dr. Shulman. She has a tendency to ask the same questions several times and he was incredibly patient and kind to her. Some doctors will more or less dismiss the needs of a patient that age, but Dr. Shulman definitely didn't. She ended up having a colonoscopy which found a pre-cancerous tumor, which we were able to have removed. I think she has some good years ahead of her, and it's definitely thanks to Dr. Shulman's professionalism, skill and compassion
