I am very happy with the care I've received from Dr. Shultz as well as his colleague Dr. Chang and everyone else who works at Shultz Chang Vision. Dr. Shultz did my cataract surgery using special lenses to correct my severe myopia, and I've been seeing 20/20 ever since, which still amazes me two years later. He also went above and beyond to help me when I had a corneal abrasion. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my eyes! read more

Dr, In 2018 or 2019, I had an 'annual' exam with Dr Shultz. When the regular exam was finished, you asked your nurse for a stethoscope. I have had 'some' medical training and that seemed unusual. You measured both of my Carotid arteries and said (in no uncertain terms), "You are about to have a stroke". That was certainly unexpected. You wrote a prescription for a 'Full vascular workup'. It took a couple of days to get to my Primary Physician. I told her the story and handed her the prescription. She said "Well, the Dr (Shultz) doesn't seem to specify what she would be looking for. SHE HANDED THE PRESCRIPTION BACK TO ME and said that 'there was nothing that she could do'. I went back to your office and the Office Staff recommended a 'new doctor'. I switched doctors rapidly. They put me through the Treadmill Stress test, a heart monitor, etc., Cat scan of the brain, heart, etc. Nothing 'irregular'. Fast-forward to last year. That new doctor was collecting his Medicare 'chits' and did not really 'care' for his patients. I switched Primary Care and Insurance Groups. I have seen more doctors since switching in September 2023 that my entire life!! New Cardiologist, Stein Eye Institute and more. The Bottom Line is that I had an 'ocular occlusion' === A Stroke of the Eye when you first diagnosed it!! The cardiologist found that i had a PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale); a hole in my heart since birth. Thank you for your 'early diagnosis'. Unfortunately, the doctors that initially followed up, didn't. Hopefully, this suite of doctors (UCLA) will find the proper solution. With the utmost respect. read more

The 2-star is not for Doctor's ability. He is absolutely wonderful and skillful. The review is only for the waiting time. This is the 3rd time I came to visit this office and every time I was here for appointment, I had to wait about 1 hour at least. I mean, what's the point of making appointment when we can't be served within "acceptable" waiting time. I understand things can be behind sometimes, but an hour for every time I was here... I don't know what to say. Just not my favorite place to visit. This is just my experience so far, I hope this can be improved. read more

Great doctors love Dr Mitchell Shultz! Only problem is getting through to them by telephone. I hope they fix it read more

I posted the previous 3 star rating on Dr.Shultz in a fit of discontentmen. He is such a gentleman that he called today and clarified the situation. Will continue to visit his practice yearly. Sorry for the misunderstanding you are the greatest. read more

To start here is a little background about my eyes. I have been wearing glasses since I was 2yrs old and probably should have had them at birth. I was told that I would be blind by the time I was 12. Thankfully, that never happened. As the years went by my vision got worse and my glasses thicker and thicker. For 50 years I have not been able to wake up and see the world around me as most people. My field of vision was literally 4 inches in front of my face. I could not recognize my husband or children without hearing their voices if I didn't have my glasses on! Enter Dr. Shultz.. I originally saw Dr. Shultz because I also have Graves' Opthalmopathy that affects my eyes and can cause them to bulge sometimes which can damage the optic nerve so it had to be monitored. During a follow up, he told me that due to the severity of my nearsightedness (myopia), I had developed cataracts and could have it fixed whenever I was ready. After gathering up my courage and coming to terms with having surgery on my eyes Dr. Shultz did my left eye about 4 mos ago and my right eye a few weeks later and forever changed my life as I knew it! He was able to implant new lens that corrected my vision to nearly 20/20. Immediately after the procedure, for the first time in 50 years, I was able to see without glasses. As my eyes healed my vision got even better. I could get up in the middle of the night without fumbling for my glasses. I could read, drive, swim and watch TV without glasses. You get the idea here. For that I am forever grateful. His skill and knowledge has helped me beyond words. He is compassionate and truly cares about his patients. From his office staff and wonderful associates to the great bunch of people at Freedom Surgery Center I was in great hands and when all was said and done I had Crystal clear vision to show for it. Thank you everyone! And I just realized I need to update my profile pic to one without glasses read more

The best doctor!! Always take the time to listen and help you with your eyes care . I've been going to his clinic for 20 years and I highly recommend him! read more

I will be forever thankful to Dr. Shultz and his team for the amazing work on my eyes. I was sooo nervous to get eye lasik surgery due to the horror stories I read online and discouragement from some Optometrist because of my Nystagmus. When I went to Dr. Shultz' clinic, I felt safe, he checked my eyes thoroughly before the surgery and explained the surgery process in detail. He has the magic touch! I am loving the results. Getting eye lasik surgery in this clinic was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thanks to my hubby for recommending me this place. read more

Dr. shultz, Corey and the techs are fab. 5 stars all the way. read more

The doctor is a good doctor but the research team in his office are too pushy and they need to lay off and let patients make their own decisions. I had initially given them 0 stars but changed it once the doctor reached out to me. read more

My mother was referred to this clinic to get an evaluation for Glaucoma. We went in around three weeks back for the testing. We were told that the doctor will call us in a couple of days and let us know the result. He didn't call so i followed up and have now called the doctors office at least three times since then to get the result of the test but we haven't heard back. While I understand doctors may be busy, this behavior is outright unprofessional. If you are the doctor and reading this, then please have the basic courtesy to respond to my follow up's and let me know what the result of the testing was. UPDATE : 6/5/2019 After I posted this review, the doctor and I exchanged a couple of messages in which the doctor explained that they had some technical issues because of which he was unable to make the report available in a timely manner. He provided options for me to get access to the report and so today I contacted the office again and was able to gain access to the patient portal. While I still don't have the report, the front office will be speaking with the doctor and mailing us the report and hopefully the next course of action for treatment. I believe Dr Mitchell cares about his patients and his business and he has demonstrated that by being responsive to this review and clarifying what happened and so i am updating my review to reflect the same. read more

We have been patients of Dr. Mitchell Shultz for 20 years. He is an amazing physician, and we feel very fortunate to have him as our eye doctor. He has performed lasik eye surgery on both my husband and very recently on our daughter, and both were highly successful, without any issues. The office is friendly, professional, very clean, and following all Covid protocols. And It feels super safe & comfortable being there. We love that they are a modern state of the art medical office, and recently started offering secure electronic medical record access both online & on the app. It is really convenient & helpful to be able to refer back to your medical records or past visits anytime. Thanks Dr. Shultz!!! read more

The doctors here are great, but the wait time in the office is extremely long. My appointment was for 11:15. I arrived 10 minutes early and then the doctor didn't even see me until 12:45! I asked the receptionist if this was normal and she confirmed that it is! She told me that 1 to 2 hours is normal at this office!!!! Anyhow, my suggestion if you make an appointment with this doctor; bring your I-Pad, office work, a stack of magazines or a really thick interesting book that you haven't had time to read. Also, make sure to give yourself a good 3-4 hour window for driving and office wait time since there's a good chance you will need it. read more

Dr. Mitchell Shultz is a remarkable Ophthalmologist. He has been treating my family for 30 years. We are gratitude to have him and very pleased with his care. He did retinal tear surgery for my husband 20 years ago without any issues. He also did wonderful cataract surgery on my both eyes and the results were highly praised by my other two Vitreoretinal disease doctors. I had burst blood vessels in my eye a few years ago and was given a same day appointment to be treated that I appreciated deeply. His office is professional, clean, and especially follows Covid-19 protocols. I felt safe visiting him yesterday. I highly recommend Dr. Mitchell Shultz and his staff. read more

Evidently, posting an Update on the same day as the review does not actually post the same way. As i noted, the specific issue was not with ihe care provided by Dr Shultz. I was having a severe situation with my left eye. Most of the eye was red; this had been continuing for 10 days, increasing my concern. I called for an appointment and explained the details. I was told that I did not have a problem with my eyes. It was bleeding blood vessels . I said that it only is in my eyes. I was told that I could not be helped. I could not make an appointment. I did go to another eye doctor. his diagnosis was a virus in my left eye. it needed treatment. I was using Alrex for several weeks . The virus was no longer present after a few follow up appointments. Per Dr Shultz' rep[y, he has implemented changes. I would certainly consider requesting an appointment in the near future. read more

Dr. Shultz is an outstanding ophthalmologist . . . very skilled and knowledgeable. His opticians are equally courteous and professional. He has state of the art equipment and a beautiful office. I highly recommend Dr. Shultz!! read more

I've always been scared of having my eyes lasered. After visiting five different laser clinics in LA for consultations, I would always leave with questions and uncertainty. Then, someone recommended Dr Shultz to me. He has a kind demeanor and is very professional. He is thorough, compassionate, and meticulous about his work. I felt very confident with him throughout the process. It was the best decision I've ever made. Since having my laser surgery, I now have 20/15 vision! I highly recommend this doctor for your Lasik needs! read more

I have had a professional relationship with Dr. Mitchell Shultz for the past 11 years and i can say that he is not only a wonderful individual but also a phenomenal surgeon. His accolades alone speak testament to his surgical skills and worldwide notoriety in refractive surgery. He always considers the patients best interest and not the financial gain. His office is always up to date with the newest technology and the latest surgical lens options. read more

Earlier today I posted a negative review for Dr. Shultz and I would just like to retract all the negative thing I said about Dr. Shultz. A few hours after I posted my review, I was having lunch, and I was totally surprised to hear it was the doctor. He had read my review on my office visits and was very nice. I have never had an eye or medical doctor call me on the phone as a result of a review on yelp. He said he was sorry that I had the impression that he didn't like me, and he always try's to treat all his patients with respect and dignity regardless of the type of insurance they may have. HE explained that I had underlying condition with my right eye and that is why I was having problems with my vision He prescribed eye drops to see if this would help, and if not a surgical procedure would be considered. He was so very nice and polite and must have spent 15 minutes explaining things to me, and apologizing if he had offended me in any way. I know he is a very busy person, but i also know he is a very good doctor too. His staff treats you like you are an extended family member. I feel much better after talking to Dr. Shultz and I am looking forward to my next appointment with him on August 13. I also feel more comfortable with him as a person and looking forward to having him for any eye issues that might come up. Thank you Dr. Shultz for taking the time to call me and explaining my eye condition in laymen's terms. I guess sometimes I rush to judgement on people and that isn't right. Glad I was wrong about Dr. Shultz. I can tell from our extended phone conversation that he is a very caring person who only strives to deliver the best care to all of his patients, regardless of what type of insurance they may have. I would recommend him to anyone who wants the best possible eye care in the valley. Harold L. read more

Bullshit!!! I yelled at you at every visit. Your office is a disaster. No one knows what they are doing. The most unfriendly personnel I've seen. And you. Oh please. You come in all sweet. You don't give a good god damn about your patients. And they are all elders. Show a lot of respect. Don't just flaunt your wealth. I will never recommend you. EVER. And don't write me a diatribe about bullshit. I have other things to do. Obviously you don't. read more

Dr. Shultz and his staff clearly are working hard to make sure patients feel safe when they come to his office. They appear to have made many positive changes to meet the challenges of COVID-19. Everyone was helpful and friendly. I went to 3 other doctors and non of them explained my condition or options they way that Dr. Shultz did. He clearly knows his stuff. I had surgery on both of my eyes 3 weeks apart. Wow, 20/20 for distance and I can read everything on my phone and computer without glasses too! I have never been able to see this well without glasses my entire life. Thank you Dr. Shultz, A+ in my book. read more
