Hip Reviews

Patient rating: 5 stars
“My hip replacement has been a surprising relief. Dr. Schulz is very experienced, and she fixed me up, thank you.”
– Mary F.
Patient rating: 5 stars
“About ten years ago, Dr. Schulz operated on me for a torn Achilles tendon and a broken forearm. Dr. Schulz's surgeries on both injuries were successful, with a return to complete physical activity lifting weights, performing pull-ups, running, playing golf, and playing the saxophone. She is a gifted physician and orthopedic surgeon with a warm smile and comforting bedside manner. Most recently, Dr. Schulz performed complete hip replacement surgery on my wife, Diane. Once again, her operating skills proved fantastic as Diane's overwhelming arthritic pain was relieved. Diane has full confidence in Dr. Schulz! It should get mentioned that she received excellent care from PA Kirk Johnson. She especially appreciates his sense of humor. Diane continues to gain strength and balance on her road to recovery. We both enjoy the care that she has received at SPOC from the office staff to her Lean MD visits with Allyssa and Dr. Schulz. SPOC has provided a valuable service to the Fresno and the Central Valley!”
