I thought Dr. Schwartz was great. He was very thorough and very personal at the same time. It was like the old days when the doctor actually knows who you are - not just a number.

Answered all questions,acted very professionally.....
I wouldn't really recommend him to anyone. He wasn't personable at all, and over talked about things I wasn't asking about to make the session run longer and him get paid more it felt. He didn't answer many of my questions and didn't leave me very relieved at all.

Verified patient
Dr. Schwartz is by far one of the most thorough Drs I have ever met. He takes the time to educate his patients on their condition in ways I have never really experienced. It is unfortunate that his methods are the exception rather than the rule. I think he should teach a class on proper patient care.
Verified patient
Dr. Schwartz is very easy to talk to. He doesn't get upset when I told him I didn't want to go on any hypertension meds. We worked on ways to lower BP naturally; however, my BP is very stubborn and relented after a few months. He explained the importance of lowering my BP and I just have to accept that I'm not perfect. Dr. Schwartz is knowledgable and caring and wants an excellent outcome for me. What more could I want?
Verified patient
He's really stupid and slow. But yet, he charges "extra time" if the appointment it's longer. He couldn't find the results of my exams and he just wants to promote his "health programs" and make business. Really, don't waste you money and time. Look for a real doctor
He was very attentive to my concerns and looking to provide a complete answer to my issues. And unhurried. His assistant, Donna, was also very attentive, warm and helpful.
Verified patient
Dr. Schwartz was exactly the doctor you wish other doctors were. It was a relief to be in the presence of a competent, thorough, patient, and compassionate doctor. I tea rarely write reviews, but I felt it was worth it if it meant others could get the care they need.

Thorough

Verified patient
Dr. Schwartz was very thorough. He took the time to explain everything and asked me a lot of questions and listened attentively. I would definitely recommend him.
Dr. Schwartz is excellent. My first time visit. He spent one and half hour carefully asking all my concerns and history. What the other doctors did and what I liked and not liked about their treatment. He explained and educate in great detail. His examination is one of the kind, clearly different than the traditional medicine doctors.
Verified patient
Dr Schwartz is a true professional. He took his time to listen to me and my concerns, answered all my questions and conducted a thorough exam.
