Dr. Schwartz _____ explained very well, to me about my concerns for my up coming surgery. After our talk, I felt a lot more relaxed for my procedure. Dr. Schwartz is a nice guy that has a lot of empathy for his patients.

My situation was complicated and dr. explained why. He was careful to order a CT scan to get a better image of my anatomy. he said he may be unable to go a surgical correction without causing other GI damage. I appreciated his honesty.

This is the 3rd time seeing Dr shwarts. The first was 2 years ago when i had to have my Gallbladder out. every time i have seen him he is in a great mood, He is always smiling and he has a great bed side manner witch i think most doctors now a days lack or have forgotten .

5 out of 5 stars

Dr Schwartz took the time to explain everything about my surgery and what to expect which made me very comfortable. My surgery went well without any issues despite how complicated it seemed to me. After the surgery he came up to recovering to see how I was doing and gave me the run down as to how it went. He did this himself and not through an assistant/ nurse aid which I did appreciate 👍 👏 As a side note his entire staff were a pleasure to work with. If I had any questions they would give me a call back or text very quickly throughout my recovery!! Dr Schwartz is a great surgeon! You can trust him to get it right!
