Testimonials

"Schults is an amazing, caring and thorough pediatrician. Highly recommended"

Jason Heydasch
"I have been taking my daughter to her practice for four years. We have been very satisfied with their knowledge, support and flexibility."

Krista Nash
"If you want to get away from these large groups of 5-15 doctors, none of which see your child twice in a row, nor know your child by face or name AND also receive quality care then this is the place to go! This is a high quality, one doctor pediatric office. She also has two outstanding nurse practicioners for quick appointments when the sniffles and little boo-boos arise. Shults is open 6 days a week and has an on call number and backups as needed. I have never failed to get an appointment with 4-6 hours of calling (always same day when needed). I have been using her for both my kids for over 10 years and have always been extremely satisfied - every visit, every check-up, every accident, etc."

Terry Johnson
"Dr. Shults has been caring for my now 9 year old twins since they were born. My twins love Dr. Shults and her staff."

Laura Kreisler
"Dr. Shults is amazing! She makes every patient feel cared for at the highest level!"
