The Florida Center For Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery

I made an appointment on May 10 for June 17, praying it would get here soon and my back would hold out without the excruciating pain I've had for 3 years. 3 days before the appointment, I received a text they didn't get the auth from my primary. Primary said it wasn't needed and called Shulman. Today, the day before my appointment. I received a call that they still didn't have the auth and my appointmentwas canceled. After a 10 minute hold, she suddenly found the answer and, no auth needed, except I couldn't be seen because Shulman had "emergency" surgery tomorrow afternoon. Wouldn't sn emergency be today's surgery? Then, the next excuse was that I didn't have an up to date MRI. Shouldn't that have been addressed BEFORE the appointment was made?? Oh, yes, it was!! I was told she would order one! I think there's alot of lying going on here.

Dr. Shulman is very upbeat and great bedside manner. I had been in pain for years. After her surgery, I have not been in pain since the surgery.

Outstanding neurosurgeon! I had a colloid cyst of the third ventricle of the brain. I was transferred to 3 hospitals and ended up at the hands of Dr. shulman. She was excellent from beginning to end. I was in ICU for about 5 days, had endo-craniotomy to remove tumor and went home the next day. Recovery was tough, but not because of her, because it's brain surgery. She is calming, confident and re-assuring. So thankful I ended up in her care.

The visit was started promptly with no high tech knowledge needed on my end! Dr Shulman was thorough and was well prepared for my visit. You could tell she wasn't reading it off notes. The office staff has been very accommodating and friendly.

This was my first visit. She was highly recommended by a family member who she treated a few years ago. She is very knowledgeable, listens and answered my questions.

Outstanding care with her and staff. Confident i was getting the best.

This is the second time I’ve used Carrie Shulman. In June 2016 she did a microdisectomy on my L5 S1 disc. In March this year 2020 it herniated again. There was only one neurosurgeon I wanted to go and see. June 19th I had a spinal fusion. Carrie Shulman takes the time to discuss all options with you. I would recommend her to anyone who needed to talk about option that needn’t be surgery related. You will get all the answers you need and her staff are just as wonderful!

In this current craziness, my first telemed appointment with Dr Shulman went great. She was personable and listened.

Excellent. Thorough explanations, professional but still pleasant and friendly.

Dr Shulman has very pleasant personality. Shows that she is a high degree profesional.After talking to her twice I feel very comfortable to be operated by her. She spends long time with the patient explaining and answering all questions arises during discussion..

Dr Shulman saved my mom’s life. Dr. Shulman is a gifted surgeon who was able to operate at the C1/C2 skull base area on my Mom which was a high risk surgery. My mom would have become paraplegic had it not been for Dr. Shulman. My mom is now out of pain and getting her life back. Dr. Shulman rearranged her schedule to accomodate my mom and get her the needed treatment quickly. She is also very positive, friendly and caring. We are so glad that we found her.

Dr Shulman is extremely knowledgeable in her field. Following are some of the reasons I think she is excellent at her job! I have and will continue to recommend her services: • Great bedside manner • Genuinely cares for patients (even available while on vacation) • Excellent, top notch training • Thorough & always considering different approaches to ensure the best outcome • Gwen & other office staff are very helpful making you feel welcomed & comfortable • Katherine, physician's assist & right hand, possess' many of the same great qualities • Great communicator & freely offers explanations of processes & options available

Great Dr. Would recommend her

By far the worst physician I’ve seen. She is very rude and has no bedside manner. Didn’t want to see any records or any labs I had done. The only record she cares about is the last office visit note with your referring physician. Make sure your referring physician puts anything you want said in that note because you won’t be able to talk during your appointment. You’ll get five minutes and be cut off every time you open your mouth. The sad part is Dr. Schulman seems very knowledgeable, it’s a shame she has no empathy or bedside manner for her patients. I was warned about her by a few friends but didn’t listen. I wish I would have! The office staff is very pleasant and friendly though!

She took a special interest in my husband's case. She did an awesome job and explained what all will happen straight up. Told me what to expect from day one. 3 months later I needed her for myself. I was not going to go to anyone but her. She has brought both of us to good health.

Saw Dr Schulman for brain tumor. Appt went fine. Scheduled follow up. On follow up, she was do basically acting like we were bothering her. I have never seen a Dr so dismissive, actually rude. She may be a great neurosurgeon, but we will not see her again.

I saw Dr. Shulman five years ago at another hospital and had an excellent doctor-patient relationship with her. When I moved close to her current hospital, I knew she was the right doctor to see. She has a way of getting to know her patients and easily discuss concerns. She's a team player and works well with, and respects, other physicians involved in my care. I'm so very lucky to have her in my life.
