Both office visits were the most relaxed, thorough and comprehensive physical exams I've ever received.

So glad I'm under their care.

We love having a way to communicate directly with our primary doctor (through the Spruce App or by phone), rather than through office staff or having to make appointments for everything. Dr. Schulman is very responsive with communications, and if needed, gets us in to see her quickly. This saves so much time, worry, and money! Dr. Shulman's office is modern and welcoming, and the time and attention afforded by the DPC model has been really beneficial to us. Our first visits at her new practice allowed her the time to finally get to know more about us as people, listen to our concerns, and provide whole health assessments and insights. Subsequent visits, communications, and coordination with specialists have been so much more effective and efficient because there's a real familiarity and foundation. Dr. Schulman is smart, compassionate, and very capable! I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a primary care doctor

I don't see the purpose of having to sign and initial the same paperwork for EVERY single visit. The last 3 visits I had within 7 days of each other. For all 3 of those visits, I was asked to initial and sign the same paperwork. This practice burns a ton of paper, which is wasteful and certainly not green. You are here due to pain whether it is in the arm, shoulder, leg, or any part - there is pain involved. The last thing anyone should expect when arriving is to wait for a long time to check in. Fortunately this facility will close and move to the new spine center under development. I am looking forward to that location instead. In the meantime, this location should focus on becoming more efficient with reception. My doctor is very good and the technical staff who support him. I certainly recommend him for pain management.

He evaluated my dad whose residence in an Assisted Living was being challenged. I was surprised to find a doctor who wasn't shy to do the right thing by his patients. The first doctor I ever visited who has a sign on the office door which reads: "Drug Company Representatives, DO NOT ENTER". I have personally thrown drug company reps out of a doctors office, when they wanted to see the doctor prior to me. Then I apologized to the doctor for misbehaving. The doctor stood up, shook my hand, and asked me how I did that, because he had tried to do that for years. Well, doc, I told them I would write to the CEO of Lilly and the FDA, making a complaint about their marketing practices interfering with patient care and how they don't care about the public in treatment. I also let some stuff spill out of my mouth from my diamond turned titanium tongue, I don't really remember the exact words, but I got in the rep's face and didn't stop until she was out of you waiting room door. Doc, just have them wait until you are done with your patients. They won't stay until you are available. You could also have me stand sentry.
