Dr. Schwartz spent almost no time with me. He made no diagnosis other than to blame my symptoms on a previous condition. Rather than order a more thorough exam, he just wanted to send me back to the doctor that treated me before. He was a total waste of my time.

Had broke my foot. Refused to do MRI from the beginning,so did not pick up on second bone that was broken ended up with bones deteriorating and still having problems months later. Have had multiple falls due to foot is unstable and tends to roll on uneven ground, not to mention 4 times as many close falls.

I have seen Dr. Schwartz on several occasions----had treatments in the office, had surgery, etc. I have to say that during every interaction, he was a human being first & physician second. He is a skilled surgeon w/ pleasant bedside manner. I would highly recommend him!
