“Best optometrist I've ever been to!
They reached out to me so promptly even though I requested an appointment late at night and then the next day saw me right away. Everyone was so kind and knowledgable. I got the perfect contacts and even added a stylish pair of glasses!”

March 11, 2019Carlos C.Verified patient
I first saw Dr. Schultz about 3 years ago. I have a somewhat complicated left eye that eye docs have brushed off for years. He truly took the time to optimize my vision... Ordered multiple contact trials, did everything he could to help me get the best vision possible. Super thorough, very friendly. I will not go anyplace else. Highly recommend!
February 21, 2019Jessica R.Verified patient
Dr. Schultz meet me right when I came in. He began my exam immediately, and explained everything he was doing. He answered all my questions clearly and completely. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area who needs an eye doctor!
November 1, 2018Beth M.Verified patient
Dr. Schultz was knowledgeable and did not rush the visit. He answered concerned questions and used various methods of testing to ensure I received the correct diagnosis and prescription for my glasses.
September 25, 2018Djenane F.Verified patient
All of the staff here was so friendly and so very helpful. Everyone made me feel very comfortable and I even had some help choosing which glasses looked best on me. I’m so glad I chose to go here.
April 7, 2018Jenna R.Verified patient
Dr. Schultz was awesome! So easy to talk to, easily relatable guy. Highly recommend. There is no parking, street parking only, very small waiting room, but very nice staff and professionalism by everyone. He did not push glasses or contacts in me at all. Highly recommend, will be returning.
March 30, 2018Alessandro P.Verified patient
Dr. Schultz was extremely professional and explained everything in an easy-to-understand manner. Everyone in the office was so friendly, too.
More than 1 year agoJoe K.Verified patient
It was my first time visiting Dr. Schultz, everyone was excellent! The staff still scheduled me in though I was a few minutes late.
The visit went smoothly and quickly, there was essentially no wait. Once I finished my paperwork, the staff performed primary eye exams and then I saw Dr.Schultz. He was kind and friendly, really understood that I wanted a new prescription but i did not want it to be so strong, more like a mild adjustment. We found a great balance. We chatted about some topics of interest including science and machine working.
After the exam, the staff helped quote me on the price of lenses (I brought my own frames). They're very nice laid back, not pushy at all.
I do wish there was customer parking, I was trying to find quarters for the street meters but the office staff kindly advised about another location I may park at for free.
Overall super pleased! Will recommend :D
January 10, 2018Yazmin F.Verified patient
Dr Schultz and his staff were so helpful towards me. I had an awful visit at another eye doctor in town, and Dr Schultz spent a lot of time helping me find the right lenses. I left with a trial pair which have me seeing better than I have in months! I also had a strict budget for glasses, and they were able to give me a great price on a discontinued frame so I could afford both contacts and eye glasses today!

Fantastic, professional, friendly!

He is great. He explained everything thoroughly. Took his time checking my eyes unlike other doctors that just want to rush you out. Also, Leslie at the front desk was super nice.
March 7, 2017Jessica F.Verified patient
Dr. Schultz was knowledgeable about my concerns/complaints and was able to explain to me in a manner/language that was easily understood.
February 9, 2017Lorraine S.Verified patient
It was great. The staff was super helpful. They understood my insurance and explained my options clearly. Dr Scultz is very friendly, kind, understanding and down to earth. Excellent bedside manners. You can sense that he is into eye health not just glasses and contacts. Definitely will return.
August 2, 2016Samantha U.Verified patient
I went in for a stye, not a full exam, but Dr Schultz was super nice and went over the condition and what to do for it. He prescribed some ointment and I was out the door!
I would love to get a full eye exam for my annual contact lenses, but they do not accept EyeMed insurance. The front desk made a call to my health insurance to make sure this condition was covered. The office was very friendly and I will definitely go back for any medical issues with my eyes.
March 22, 2016Lori B.Verified patient
Great doctor. Very friendly and easy to talk to. Thorough in his explanations about your condition and the eye in general. Highly recommended.

November 9, 2015Omaris C.Verified patient
The staff was absolutely friendly and professional. I've never been happy and full of energy leaving a doctor's office. Dr. Schultz was very nice and took his time to explain my eye examination and questions. I will recommend to anyone to see this doctor.

Great, patient helps you make the best choices
November 11, 2014Sahrie D.Verified patient
He's great! The receptionist was not as personable as Dr. Schultz, but the overall experience was great. He was very knowledgeable and helped a lot in explaining what the benefits were of getting certain contacts over others (such as getting ones for astigmatism vs not, and so on). Much better than my previous optometrist.

This was our first visit and all i can say is that i would highly recommend Dr. Schultz and his staff. My brother has special needs and gets very nervous while in doctors offices. From the minute we walked in the staff was accommodating and extremely patient with us. It is often difficult to make my brother comfortable and they were able to do so.
