Dr. Kathleen Anne Schwartz

Horrible bed side manner. She rushed through the visit and made me leave her office in tears because of how rude and condescending she was. Literally the worst physician I've seen.

She is patient, gentle, kind and she listens. I am fortunate to have her as my Physician.

Dr. Schwartz dropped me as a patient at 31 weeks pregnant because of "failure to comply with medical advice." I only met Dr. Schwartz once at 28 weeks (you see a nurse up until your third trimester, which should have been my first indication to go elsewhere), and then again at 30 weeks. During my second appointment with her, I told her that I didn't feel comfortable taking the second, 3-hour glucose test. Before I could ask her what other alternatives I had, she started berating me. Her mood and tone changed immediately and she told me that my child could end up in the NICU and that Shea hospital and the medical team would be angry at HER if I didn't get my glucose test. She also stated she had concerns if I wasn't willing to be "compliant" with her. I was really taken aback and troubled by this and thought to myself, "Is this how she is going to treat me the day I am delivering?" I personally am not looking for a doctor who is looking for compliance. I am looking for a… doctor that is seeking a partnership. Of course, I started crying (it was just me and her in the room) and, between tears, I expressed that I just wanted to feel informed, I wanted to know what my choices were, and I wanted to advocate for myself and my own care. She then told me she also wanted me to feel comfortable advocating for myself and that my other alternative would be to check my blood sugar at home 4 times a day. I told her I would be happy to do that. For a week I have checked my blood sugar and monitored my diet, and I was looking forward to my next appointment because there were no alarming blood sugar levels so far. However, I wasn't aware that the very next day, Dr. Schwartz had her staff send a letter in the mail saying she would no longer be willing to by my OBGYN. This is my first child and I wanted to have a positive experience and give traditional OBGYN offices a chance before exploring midwives. My experience has been par for the course with traditional doctor's offices. I felt disrespected and dehumanized. Pregnancy should be an exciting experience and it is really disappointing when the only part of your pregnancy that has caused you stress is the medical professionals that are supposed to do no harm. Needless to say, I will not be returning to this office.

She is the best doctor ever!!!!

Dr Schwartz is absolutely one of the worst Dr.s I have ever worked with. Her arrogance gets in the way of her work. She is not a strong surgeon and she is rude to the nurses and yelled at two of my nurses while in the hospital. Completely unacceptable. She was also "put out" for me going into labor over the weekend because she "had a family function". The nurses did not like her at all. They actually brought in another dr for a second opinion because she could care less. She really should not be working in such a high risk field. She's is just awful. Her level of arrogance is on another level.

Fantastic doctor with loads of experience.

Dr.Schwartz is the best ob/gyn ever. She is patient, kind, answers all your questions and is very thorough. I wouldn't consider anyone else. I have also found the NP are also awesome. Love this place and Dr. Schwartz!

Very judgmental, over an hour wait, made wife upset with comments, very unprofessional

She made poor decisions about the delivery of my daughter, nearly costing my life.

Dr. Schwartz is brilliant, highly-skilled, compassionate and genuine. She is extremely knowledgable and follows through on every aspect of care. I couldn't ask for a better physician to care for myself and babies. Highly recommend Dr. Schwartz!!
