Dr. Eric Jeffrey Schwartz, MD

I'll give Dr. Schwartz props for a good bedside manner. As a doctor, though, my experience was awful and dangerous. I went to him upon moving to Maryland. I had BPH for several years. He took me off of the primary medication I was taking, which was fine. But he never monitored my prostate health. Not once. I went back several times (between normal checkups) complaining of increasing problems. He did not perform a single test other than a PSA, which was irrelevant to my issues. He never did an ultrasound to check bladder retention. Never did a cystoscopy to check the prostate or bladder. He never mapped out the size of the prostate. Basically, nothing. The last time I was there he recommended the Urolift procedure. I said that based on my previous doctor's cystoscopy notes, I thought that it was not applicable to my situation. He then left the office to look at the records, and came back in and said that I was correct - I wasn't a candidate for that, so he recommended a different one that he performed. In other words he was recommending operations without analyzing my current condition and that would not have solved anything. That was the last straw. I went to see another doctor at another practice. Upon entering he had a nurse do a retention test, which showed a major problem He did several other procedures to fully understand the correct way to proceed. When I said it was time for something to be done, he said "truthfully, it is far past time". The path forward was then based on facts. I strongly recommend looking for a different provider.

Met Dr Swartz for a routine check. I found him to be friendly and to the point. Specifically did not push for future procedures which were not needed. I will ask for this Doctor for future visits.

His staff called me a liar. Very unprofessional. I am only sorry they won't accept my critique without a star at all.

i had surgery with dr. schwartz. he was very informative, patient, and my outcome was perfect.
