Waiting times vary, but overall reasonable. Dr. Schwartz was warm, kind, and forthcoming about the benefits and risks of the procedure (I had PRK). He also came highly recommended from a friend and did not disappoint.

The Dr. is very pleasant and makes one feel very confident he is in good hands..It is the front desk that is drastically lacking in finesse. One should never judge the Dr. by their behavior.I have had several more visits and they have not improved.

Dr. Andrew Schwartz is an excellent eye doctor, particularly if a person has a difficult to fit prescription. Also in his office is an amazing facial/eye surgeon, Dr. Ebby Elahi, who is one of the best in his field.
August 31, 2016Ruth K.Verified patient
When making appointment I stated my wanting to have doctor not be rushed so that we could talk. Given appointment at 4:15pm on Friday of Fouth of July weekend. Office was empty of patients. They had not scheduled eye exam. Doctor just said we needed that for correct assessment and had it done.
Dr. Schwartz then looked at my numbers and took time to explain my lucky situation. I very much appreciated his taking the time, his patience and knowledge.
I was to get a long distance lens in cataract operation. Yikes I could read without glasses so presumed I had gotten wrong lens. Doctor Schwartz took time to sit down and explain to me that I had indeed gotten long distance lens but my eye had reacted to surgery in such a way that I am one of the lucky ones that am able to see both near and far as result of my eyes reaction to the surgery.
July 2, 2016Bonnie W.Verified patient
Dr Schwartz is highly capable and caring. He is thoughtful, meticulous and abreast with the latest technology. My experience with the cataract surgery he did on both my eyes was excellent. His assistants are also knowledgeable and efficient. Overall, I have no hesitation to recommend Dr. Schwartz to my circle of family and friends.
