Dr. Schulz was recommended to me and I used her for serious surgery over 6 years ago. I've never said this about a Dr., but She yells and screams at her patients to the point where you're afraid to call her for advise. She helped me very little with pain issues and told me that all I wanted was pain pills and call someone else. If I left a message for her at the desk, she'd say she never got it. It was obvious that I was not healing correctly no matter what she told me to do in her worst voice. She had no problem yelling in front of her staff and other patients. I never thought a dr. could bring me to tears, but she knew I was not strong enough to think clearly and she made that worse. No, I wouldn't recommend her to anyone. read more

I have been going to this facility for 16+ years and have not had any issues. I've been through pregnancy, miscarriage, ovarian cysts, etc etc with ZERO problems. Dr Schulz and Dr Sanders are caring and competent doctors. I suggest people remember that this who have had an issue tend to post, but good experiences are omitted. read more

I was a patient of Medical Group of Women physicians, Dr. Schulz is a no nonsense physician! Excellent diagnostician, has a no nonsense manner and quickly had determined that I needed to be referred to a Urologist for my condition. I had been to four other GYN'S that did not think I had a "problem" (I had been in pain for almost a year) I am so delighted that I found a physician that listened and knew how to assess my problem and set me on the path of recovery! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. SCHULZ and her group! I now live on the East Coast and sadly have not found a physician to equal Dr. Schulz! read more

I am happy that I was introduced to Dr. Schulz, because she referred me to another doctor in her office, Dr. Saunders who was very patient, compassionate and carefully explained why I was having aches and pains in my body. read more

I am VERY impressed with Dr. Schulz. A previous gynocologist had told me my abnormal pap was not yet precancerous and to come back in a year. Fortunately, I switched to Dr. Schulz a year later (because she takes medicare which previous doc did not). Dr. Schulz immediately told me the previous results were indeed precancerous and I should have come back sooner. After performing more tests, she also told me that I may need a hysterectomy due to where my organs were positioned. Talk about shock! She professionally explained details to me and called a surgeon herself who fit me in that day for a second opinion. The surgeon confirmed the need for a hysterectomy and told me I was lucky I found Dr. Schulz. Happy to report I am recovering from a robotic hysterectomy, precancerous cells are gone, and I will be doing my annual followups with Dr. Schulz. Highly recommended! read more

She is a horrible unprofessional Dr. And the other Doctor in her office call Dr. Soha Alghareb I think, she is worse than her. Nice combo!!!!!!!! I had a terrible delivery with this office and please don't go there!! She is money hungry and if you go for visit and ask more than one problem then she will ask you to go back and visit her another time fir th either problem!! She did that to me a few times and I had to make another appointment for the other problem that I had, just because she could charge my insurance 2 times and took 2 copayments!! Shultz is nasty person and just think about money!! Don't recommend her at all. I wish I could give her -10!!!!!!! My delivery was the worse experience in my life and my baby had lots of problem later after birth because of the horrible delivery I went through!! Please don't go there if you want to have a healthy child!! read more

This office is full of amazing women. From the time you make your appointment, check in, to the time you see your physician. Many of them have been there for years and really know the system of the office. This helps with any questions you may have as well as making sure you're not waiting forever due to confusion. I've seen two doctors here, Dr. Schulz (for a breast exam after a lump scare) and Dr. Allen who is no longer there but also wonderful. When I had my lump scare, I was 23 years old and terrified. Dr. Schulz put my mind at ease after my exam and talked my family and I about her findings. She was kind, thorough and truly made a difference in the way I view going to the OB/GYN! read more

I would definitely recommend Dr. Schulz. Very professional and caring. Truly listens to patients and very caring. Bedside manner is great. Front staff is pleasant and efficient. read more

Dr. Schulz was the first physician to give me a proper diagnosis, and I must give her this recognition. I wished she showed a bit more sympathy as she explained the diagnosis. However, she got me answers whereas others simply kept prescribing a different Rx. read more

Dr.Schulz is a fantastic doctor. She has been my OBGYN for the past three years where I had to undergo a hysterectomy due to cervical cancer. I will be forever grateful that she took quick action and I am cancer free because of her! Thank you, thank you, thank you and god bless. read more

I have been going to Dr.Schulz for 5 years now. She is wonderful in every sense of the word. She saved my life and caught my cancer very early on. She let me and my husband ask one million questions. I did not have to go to other doctors, she took care of me through diagnosis through all the procedures. I like her direct, dry humor. She is quick and thorough. I actually switched my insurance when ,my company switched plans, just so I could keep her. If you have had bad experiences in the past, Dr. Schulz will make you so comfortable. read more

Simply put, Dr. Schulz is amazing! I struggled with previous physicians who disregarded my concerns about my abnormally distended abdomen. I grew weary of never having my questions answered, so I did my research and discovered Dr. Schulz--which is the best thing that has happened to my health. She is simultaneously thorough, professional, and compassionate. It turns out I had a ridiculously large tumor in my abdominal area. With her help, I was able to get in touch with an outstanding gynecological oncologist who safely removed the tumor. Dr. Schulz assisted in the procedure and she even went out of her way to visit me during my hospital stay. Dr. Schulz is exceptional at what she does and her passion speaks volumes. Her staff definitely made my experience easier to handle. I am blessed to have found Dr. Schulz and I highly recommend her! read more

First impression very good. The person who answered the phone was very professional and well spoken. Looking forward to meeting this doctor. Will update after appointment read more

Dr. Schulz is the perfect doctor to have in your corner. After having a questionable mammogram and then biopsy. The radiologist told me to come back for a re-check in 6 months so they can watch it, which I was happy to oblige because I didn't want to think about it. Dr. Schulz called me and convinced me to see a surgeon for a second opinion to put our minds at ease, easier said than done but felt she was right. Well, after seeing the surgeon and then continuing on to have a lumpectomy well lets just say Dr. Schulz saved my life. This is the Doctor you want in your corner who cares about you. Everything was caught early taken out and now I don't have to worry about anything and can enjoy my life with my family. Dr. Schulz, thank you for caring and taking that extra step and now I have a long healthy future read more

Appointment was at 1:30, doctor was not even in the office until 2:15 and I wasn't seem until 2:30. Extremely irritating.

I delivered my first baby with dr. Schulz and dr. Salem in 2007. The experience still haunts me to this day and brings back unpleasant memories and anger. I was told that I will be induced at precisely 40 weeks. I cannot be allowed to wait one extra day as that is the policy that they follow. If I want to wait, I would need to sign something that says I'm going against their recommendation and if something happens to the baby then they are not responsible. That was enough to scare a first time mom. I agreed. I was put on a pitocin drip for six plus hours. I endured painful unnatural contractions to no avail. My body was not ready for labor. I did not dilate at all. The baby was put under stress for so long that her heart rate dropped and the whole episode ended up in a c section. I had a horrible recovery and so did my baby. I did some research for my second pregnancy and realized it's normal for many healthy pregnancies to go past 40 weeks. I asked them for a vbac the second time around . They made fun of me saying that it's only offered at teaching hospitals with incompetent interns. I immediately changed my doctor after that. I've had two successful vbacs now and both deliveries were smooth and satisfying. I did go into labor without any induction or intervention at around 41 weeks plus 3 or 4 days. I wish I did not choose this practice the first time around. read more

Dr. Schulz is a very knowledgeable, patient and congenial doctor. She was extremely thorough and I felt very comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend her. read more

I have been going to this office for about 3 years. I had been going to another gynecologist for 30 years and had to change due to my insurance. I didn't know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. The office (Manhattan Beach) is very nice, parking is easy and waiting time is very short. She asks questions, answers questions and informs you about the exam as it is happening. I'm happy I found this place. Diane S read more

Dr. Barbara Schulz is a wonderful doctor. She is kind and understanding, and a very thorough doctor. Dr. Schultz's front office staff is also very professional and thorough. The doctors on her staff delivered my second child (now 4), and, if I was planning a third, I would continue with this OBGYN through delivery. I am very confident with Dr. Schulz's decisions with my health, annual exams and treatments. read more

I have been a patient for well over a decade and I will keep coming back. Dr. Schulz is knowledgeable and takes my concerns seriously. She listens and gives you options. I have seen her for routine care as well as when I was pregnant with and delivered my twins. She has also referred me to other competent doctors. read more

Terrible, terrible person and very unprofessional. I absolutely agree with the bad reviews. I don't usually write reviewes because I am very easy going, don't really expect much to begin with because don't have any health issues. I moved to the South bay from the SF bay area and just went to the office for a routine pap exam. First of all, it hurt when she took the sample. She was apparently in a hurry. When I went to receive the results, the results came back abnormal which was a surprise to me and I was sure they were wrong. Dr Schulz was screaming in front of all her office staff that I had to get another test because I had a STD. I was sure I did not (for personal reasons that I don't need to mention here). That was very insulting and the doctor seemed like a raving lunatic to me the way she handled this. If I had some disease, that would be something very personal that I would expect would have to be disucssed with someone in private. Of course I took the test again and it came back completely normal no STD or anything else. I never went back to her. It's been many years but I still remember her name and it only brings out negative feelings. I would not recommend her to anyone. read more

Dr. Schulz is a very excellent doctor. I have been a patient for almost 20 years and trust her and have several friends who also respect and appreciate her.. She has done several D&Cs on me and other tests and helped me thru a breast cancer issue. She is direct, honest and knowledgeable all important in medical conversations and decisions. I have been to both her offices many times and her staff have always been efficient and helpful. I highly recommend her as an outstanding gynecologist who is dedicated to women's issues! read more

I have been going to Dr Schultz for 15 + years I was delighted and still am very happy w/ her patient care. She is thorough, open and honest. She quickly diagnosed and treated me for a serious condition. She doesn't have that cutey prissy demeanor by any means. So if you are 'NEEDY' and need that type of MD and patient interaction you might look for a more 'warm & fuzzy' type. I'm not willing to risk my health for that, nor do I want that type of MD. She's a straight forward gal without innuendo or pretense. Highly RECOMMEND! read more

I agree 100%. I saw Dr. Schulz for the first time last year and will not be returning. I happened to look down at the chart she brought in with her, and it wasn't mine. She never left the room to get the proper chart after being told that wasn't me. The entire exam lasted approximately 5 minutes and none of my concerns were covered, she was hurried and could not have cared less. I have never felt more uncomfortable and uneasy with a GYN before. She even had to call me back for a repap as she failed to get enough cells the first time. While I know that is somewhat common, it was the icing on the cake. Office staff was somewhat pushy. One nurse argued with me about being pregnant (I was not, and yes, I know the symptoms) and insisted I pee in a cup. This was after I asked her where the bathroom was and had already went. Too bad.. the location is great and the office is nice. read more

She's practical and caring! I came in with a list of questions. The fact that she asked me with no rush, "is there anything else?" Impressed me bc she wants to make sure I get a chance to say all my concerns. She's also knowledgeable! I trust her! read more

Dr. Schultz has been my OB/GYN for at least a decade. She is an amazing physician who understands her patients' needs with empathy, understanding, and expertise. Her office staff is consistently efficient,kind and bring a smile for a doctors visit. She gets my highest recommendations. I trust her instincts, knowledge, and humanity. read more

I have been a patient with Dr Barbra Schulz for over 20 years and have always been well taken care of. Her staff have always been friendly and professional. Last Sept 2014 during my annual well woman exam, Dr Schulz found a very small lump in my breast. When I got home, I still couldn't feel the lump when I examined that area. Thanks to her, my breast cancer was found at the earliest stages and immediate protocol was put into action with mammogram, biopsies, BRAC analysis, and her referring list of Oncology Drs. Coming up on a year this week since my breast cancer diagnosis, I am on the road to full recovery. I will be forever grateful to Dr Schulz. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Schulz for 20+ years. She deliverd my 2nd daughter 24 yrs ago and has seen me through a total hysterectomy. I did not want the hysterectomy, and fought it for a while, but Dr. Schulz explained my options (many times) and in a matter of fact, straight forward manner. I did not have cancer but every other gyno problem and long term bleeding that I choose to ignore, chalking it up to change of life. While some may critique that Dr Shulz's practice is lacking some warm and fuzzies, I wanted and appreciated a VERY competent Doctor and surgeon - not a best-friend - to help guide me through this situation. I believe that Dr Shulz's interest in my care has been genuine and very focused about my total gyno health. It has been a year since the hyst and I do believe that she saved my life, and has also caught and coached me on my aging bones. I will also add that she runs a tight and professional ship and her staff is very efficient and effective. On a side note, in todays challenging financial times for doctors (our goverenment and the health insurance industry is screwing the people that we trust with our lives) I was shocked to do the math and see what Dr Shulz ended up netting after my insurance made their massive adjustments to her billing. Sadly, I think my auto mechanic makes more money than our medical doctors in todays world. read more

I was so conflicted about whether to begin seeing this doc due to Yelp. Well, not seeing this doctor anymore. I realize she may be brilliant and have a great take charge attitude at the hosiptal ordering staff around while you deliver, but during the other 99% of your life I better have a doc that can spend a few minutes explaining something to me if an abnormality was found on an ultrasound. Not just come back for another ultrasound and a possible biopsy in a few weeks. Well, why? Is there something I should be concerned about. Is this normal? I ask questions but it's all a grey area. Will this effect the ability to get pregnant? "Not neccessarily". Uhh ok. That's all you got for me? I have been terrified and sad since finding out. I spent one visit in the room and a couple of phone chats with her and true to the reviews she remains pretty stoic and can hardly smile when I tried to relieve my topics with a little bit of humor. A patient-doctor relationship on a personal level is just as important to me as their medical expertise. Especially if I am about to embark on the journey of pregnancy, and now maybe infertility. Patients that had babies in the 80's seem loyal to her. Maybe she was different back then. I liked the woman who handled scheduling, she was always nice. I am moving over to Modern Womens healthcare on Lomita and pretty excited about it. Moving on.... read more
