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.

she's a surgeon who is foremost a healer
She accurately diagnosed a condition where surgery was not a guarantee for relief of pain, and was honest with me about the prognosis. I am very grateful because with her treatment plan I'm doing well and probably do not need surgery. I am a retired RN and know a great physician when I see one- she's one.

Very professional and calming demeanor.
I recently had an appointment with Dr. Schulender, and although she was running behind schedule, her warm apology and professional demeanor immediately put me at ease. She took the time to thoroughly explain everything, addressed all my concerns, and answered my questions, making me feel heard and involved in my care. I have complete trust in Dr. Schulender and feel confident in her ability to provide exceptional care. Despite the initial delay, my experience was overwhelmingly positive, and I look forward to continuing my care under her expertise.

Great to work with, resolved my problem!
I was referred to Dr. Schluender to discuss possible surgery for a problematic hemorrhoid but she banded it instead and it resolved the problem! She was friendly, good sense of humor, professional and very efficient.

Dr. Schluender is an absolute professional who is very skilled in her field. I don't think I would have had the same results with a different surgeon. I feel like I got the A team with this group.

Misled
Referred by urologist for colorectal repair. Dr Schluender said she serves only cancer patients. Reception scheduled this waste of time knowing what I needed. This site says she specifically addresses my colorectal issue. She refused and wasted my time.

Fantastic Physician
Dr Schluender is a fantastic physician. During my recent visit she came in to discuss the reasons for my visit, exploring all my concerns. I didn’t feel rushed at all and she was sincere in her interest. She left the room so I could undress, and then returned, performing a very thorough physical exam. At this point she went over her evaluation and reviewed all my therapeutic options. She didn’t come across as pushy at all, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. I recommend Sr Schluender very highly.

I immediately liked Dr S at our first meeting pre-op. She’s relaxed, friendly, takes her time, answers questions and never seemed rushed. I was immediately impressed! My surgery yesterday and my experience at the Tucson Surgery Center was fantastic too. Thank you Dr.Schluender!!!!
