I have seen Dr. Gwartz many times because of problems I have had with both my upper and lower spine. I can't begin to tell you what a wonderful doctor he is. He has treated me with epidural steroid injections that have eliminated my pain issues. He will give me all the time I want to discuss my condition and the treatment options available. He cares, he's knowledgeable and he's very professional. I would recommend him to any of my friends or relatives.

Dr. Gwartz was the only Dr. out of many to take the time and figure out what was causing my pain and how to manage it. Gave me quality if life back. Doesn't just rush you out with a prescription. Great Dr.!

Been my dr for years,I had to fight workers comp.to keep him as my dr.I wouldn't trade dr's for anything. He was a little rough around the edges when I first started going to him, but his bedside manner has greatly improved. I'd like his reports to improve a bit, but who couldn't use improvement?

Dr. Gwartz is an excellant doctor who not only understand pain and its treatment, but is equally kind, funny and dedicated to his patients and their needs. He has helped me to be more pain free and active in life. He is also a good teacher.

Dr. Gwartz uses intimidation as a tool to manipulate the personal choices of chronic pain patients including but not limited to the insertion of a pain pump. This necessitating among other things the scheduling of periodic in office refills.
