Patient Reviews
May 30, 2023
About 10 years ago when nobody else could... Dr. Schuler diagnosed my right eye as having shingles inside the eyeball. I went through four different surgeries and at one point I lost sight in my right eye, Dr Schuler continued to guide and direct his team to make sure that I got the best of care and I did. I can now see out of my right eye with glasses 20/40. And from everything I've seen this is the best result anybody's ever heard of. You would be blessed to have him because not only is he a great doctor but I also believe he's a great person with deep empathy and an excellent bedside manner. Because he genuinely does care.
