Laurel Schultz, MD

10 stars for Dr. Schultz! My son was born 10 weeks early and thankfully one of the only things I had done to prepare was pick Dr. Schultz. From the get go, she was amazing — calling me back, explaining and always taking the time to be listen (critical when your child is born early). Since then, she has continued to be stellar with never a hiccup. Always calling me back, even for mundane questions and never making me feel like I am asking too many questions. She has been great in pushing follow up when it was needed and letting me direct if I thought necessary. During appointments, she is never rushed and takes her time to explain things, ask questions about development and listen. In terms of the practice, we have been very happy– all other docs have been great. Only room for improvement would be long wait times when calling but small price to pay. Very sad to leave the practice when we moved to the East Bay.

Dr. Schultz was assigned to us because my kid arrived 2 weeks premature; at that time, we had not chosen a doctor for my son. That was the best coincidence ever. She is attentive, patient, and always thinks outside of the box. My son’s had asthma and severe eczema all his life. For the eczema, we’ve been to the best of the best, experts of experts. It is really with her patience and open-​mindedness that we are able to be where we are today in dealing with the eczema. We were considered the top 5 most severe cases in the bay area. We dealt with continuous raw skin which resulted in constant staph infections. My son’s kindergarten picture looked like he was freshly beaten, except that he had a huge smile across his face. We explored options together and it was never her telling us what to do. She connected parents with similar issues and all of us shared best practices. She is part of a practice that offers an after hours doctors service. We utilized this service to the max during my son’s first few years. We were also able to leave messages for her whenever matters were not urgent. She was always very good about returning phone calls. Bottom line is… we love her. In my book, Dr. Schultz gets 10 stars!
