This was the first tiem i saw Dr Schwartz, although I have been coming to this practice for many years. He has an excellent understanding of dry eyes, how how it might be affecting my site and new ideas as to how to treat it. Dr Schwartz also took the time to read my file and listen to new symptoms. I was most impressed.
The office and equipment is and shabby. I waited more than half an hour to see the doctor, though it seemed like there were hardly any patients there. The technician team was wandering around looking for things to do.

Have been a patient of the practice since the 1980s and of Dr Schwartz for the past year. The office staff performance has often left much to be desired. The physicians have always been first-rate and that characterization includes Dr. Schwartz, who has been my ophthalmologist for the past year. He’s highly competent, warm, and easily approachable.
I would go back to see Dr. Schwartz. I liked the fact that he discussed my options with me and let me make the decisions that felt comfortable to me.
Verified patient
