    Dr. Shuler proved to be the subject matter expert, guidance counselor, and fountain of hope I was expecting and needed. She was exceptionally patient, fully transparent, and accepting of my vulnerability for help. She surprised me with her thinking outside the box and openness to the permanent relationship with my medical nutritionist. Unfortunately, I've encountered a few medical professionals who expressed insecurity, while Dr. Shuler honestly appreciated another medical professional fighting with me and for me.

    The doctors and the nurses were excellent! I keep getting charges without explanation. I paid up to date for my last visit. Then I received another bill for $100. This is not acceptable! I can't subject anyone to this treatment!

    Dr Schuler was as baffled as I am about why the process of getting a CPAP machine has taken so long.

    Dr. Schuler was excellent,professional, caring and concerned about my situation. I'm very happy I was able to get an appointment with her. In all fairness, I was a little grumbly regarding my overall experience upon arriving at the appointment so she did not meet my best self, but she was awesome.
