Dr. Schultz has seen my kids for years now and she is my favorite provider!
Dr. Donna saw that my son was very sick and helped him to get better.
Being a first-time mom to a 24-week preemie baby was traumatizing and Dr. Donna was so amazing. I feel such relief knowing my baby is in the best hands.
Dr. Donna is the absolute best! She is so sweet, gentle, and kind with my baby boy.
We love Dr. Donna! All my boys love her! She has been taking care of all my boys since they were newborns!
