Patient Reviews
Sep 17, 2024
Dr Richard Schulze and his staff exemplifies what a caring and professional medical office should be. I have undergone cataract surgery by Dr Schulze on both eyes and could not be happier with the surgery, staff and outcome of the surgery. He is a very talented surgeon and both him and his staff provided preoperative instructions and answered all my questions which in turn decreased my anxiety regarding my procedure. The day of the surgery was seamless and everyone was professional, caring and made me feel very comfortable. My post operative visit was thorough and Dr Schulze gave very succinct and informative post op instructions along with eye exams that verified that it was an extremely successful surgery! I would not choose anyone else in Savannah to take care of my vision or eye health!
