The nurse was also amazing—very kind, patient, and attentive. She made the whole experience much easier and made me feel well cared for.
I truly appreciate the excellent care I received from both of them. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for compassionate and professional medical care.”

Jenny, at the front desk and preformed the intake, was very rude and unclear. They did not complete my medical exams as requested and were hostile when I asked for help. The whole office seemed in a rush to get me out, without the proper care. Would not return.

The gentleman listened to me calmly and carefully. He performed several tests that I had recommended that other doctors had not performed. I am very grateful to him and I recommend that other friends who care about their health visit Dr. Paul
January 12, 2025Ali M.Verified patient
Dr. Schwartz is very caring and always puts me at ease. He is a great listener and I never feel rushed during my appointments.
I’m so glad to have a primary care physician that does not come across as judgy but remains positive when I need it most. Sometimes that positive attitude from a doctor is motivation enough for me to make better decisions with my diet and put in the work to exercise for the betterment of my own health.
The staff are friendly and the wait time is minimal. I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz and this office.
December 31, 2024Jennifer S.Verified patient
Dr. Schwartz was very thorough and made me feel comfortable. I was not rushed off during my visit. The young lady that took my vitals was very pleasant and friendly as well.

Great experience. Dr. Schwartz was really nice and took all of my information and actually listen and talked to me vs. just type into a computer. His medical assistant was also really nice and profession. They both explained step by step what they were going to do as well as how to get my results once they are available. 10/10!!!

Great front desk staff who showed a ton of patience and kindness while checking me in. Additionally overheard a pretty rude person checking in and the staff remained very polite and professional which is impressive. Dr. S was concise, direct, and pleasant. Happy to have chosen their practice as my new primary care.
