Dr. Robert Schulz

Dr. Schulz began his career with the Straub Cosmetic Surgery Department in 1977. He holds a Doctorate in Medicine from George Washington University and is board certified by the American Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr, Schulz also holds residencies at the University of Hawaii and the Cronin and Brauer Clinic.

Though Dr. Schulz has been a plastic surgeon for 30 years, his professional career did not begin with medicine.

"Dr. Schulz understands that beauty ultimately comes from good health and recognizes that we not only want to live longer, we want to sustain a higher quality of life as we age."

Before he found his true passion as a doctor, Bob Schulz was a professional radio and television broadcaster and communications engineer. He views communication with his patients as a critical part of his success in cosmetic surgery and the most challenging aspect of his job. An emphasis on relationship building and his ability to manage patient expectations has resulted in a large and loyal list of clients.

Whether he is performing reconstructive surgery or utilizing a soft tissue filler or a BotoxRx treatment, Dr. Schulz incorporates advancements in the field that make the process as stress-free as possible for his patients. By attending American Society of Plastic Surgery seminars, he constantly educates himself about these medical advancements. He also is teaching future doctors as a faculty member at the University of Hawaii's School of Medicine.

Dr. Schulz understands that beauty ultimately comes from good health and recognizes that we not only want to live longer, we want to sustain a higher quality of life as we age. He is currently developing plans for an Age Management Center at Straub that will offer holistic services that include medical, dietary, lifestyle and exercise evaluation, along with cosmetic procedures. Dr. Schulz also holds interest in less-invasive procedures, such as improved lasers, topical compounds and injectible soft tissue fillers to improve problem areas on the body with less pain and recovery time for the patient.  

Dr. Schulz also serves as the director of the Straub Burn Center, the only multidisciplinary burn treatment center in Hawaii and the Pacific Region. 

During his downtime, Dr. Schulz savors the opportunity to go spearfishing and scuba diving in the clear coastal waters, just has he did as a young man in Florida. He also enjoys biking, cross-training and spending time with his sons.
