Dr. Schiltz is one of the best neuropsychologist I have seen. She was VERY thorough with my child’s evaluation. I can tell she was very invested in making sure my child received the proper remediation. She took her time and the process was individualized to my child and what met his needs. Compared to other neuropsychologists that we interviewed, she is extremely affordable and gives you more than what others have to offer. You can tell Dr. Schiltz is passionate in what she does. She truly loves children and keeps up with the latest research to make sure she provides quality service!

At the recommendation of our pediatrician, we used Dr. Schiltz for a nueropsychological evaluation of our son. The evaluation and process were very thorough. A couple of weeks after the evaluation, we met for a post eval meeting to discuss the results, diagnosis and suggested remediation.
Dr. Schiltz does not provide remediation services. So, it was nice to know that we were getting a completely unbiased evaluation. One that wasn’t being influenced by a company/individual with a vested interest in the remediation services needed and one from an individual that had nothing to gain financially by giving a specific diagnosis for which they would then provide remediation services.
She thoroughly explained each diagnosis and the type of specialist needed for each area of remediation. She also helped us prioritize which areas needed the most attention and helped us prioritize which diagnosis to address first. She provided us with names and contact information of specific specialists/providers that specialize in specific areas of our son’s diagnosis and were conveniently located to our home.
It has been a year since we worked with Dr. Schiltz. She put us on a path and paired us with key specialists that helped our son with his diagnosis and remediation over the ²⁰¹³⁄₁₄ school year. He has excelled and is leaps and bounds ahead of where he was this time last year. It has been a blessing to have worked with Dr. Schiltz.
We have been happy to refer her to several other families in need, as well.

I must say that if you are considering using Dr. Schiltz I would interview a few other people before wasting your time and money. My husband and both felt that all she wanted to talk about were her credentials and her experiences with other clients. Although the staff and she are very friendly, we felt it was a waste of time and got nothing back from all the extensive testing she did. In our case, we found out information that we already knew. What a scam.

We brought our daughter to Dr. Schiltz for a special education assessment and paid her well for it. We felt she was thorough. The problem with Dr. Schiltz is that she says one thing but does another.
Our difficulty with her began after her initial testing of our daughter. Because we were involved in trying to get funding from LVUSD to send our daughter to a private school, our attorney contacted Dr. Schiltz to ask her to review the private school for an upcoming IEP meeting where she would be presenting her findings. We paid her an amount of $ 3,450 in addition to the $ 4,500 we had paid for her initial testing. So far, no problems. She observed our daughter in her private school setting and came to the IEP with us to address the district with her findings.
The problem began when our new attorney contacted her and asked her to observe our daughter in the placement that LVUSD was offering. It seems that Dr. Schiltz was perfectly ok with observing our daughter at the private school but would not observe the placement that was being offered by LVUnified. My attorney told us that the only thing she could think of as to why she would not go and observe at the public school was because perhaps Dr. Schiltz was somehow financially involved with LVUSD and did not want to «rock her financial boat». Our attorney had seen this exact thing in another of her cases and felt that this was why it was happening in our case.
Dr. Schiltz maintained that she was not a school placement professional and that was why she was not doing the sec ond observation. Then, why, we wanted to know, was she perfectly willing to observe at the private school and take our money? Our attorney asked her if she would be willing to refund some of the funds that had been paid to her and of course, the answer was no.
I write this to warn other families about using Dr. Schiltz. I learned a long time ago that you should watch what people do and not listen to what they say. The old adage about actions speak louder than words definitely applies here. We believe that our case was not successful because of Dr. Schiltz’s refusal to do the other observation.
