Dr Schwaab saved my life! He is extremely knowledgeable and cares very much about his patients. I was blessed to find him because most surgeons will never see the cancer I had. I had extremely rare Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma, my first surgeon told me to go home because I'd be dead in 6 months. Dr Schwabb not only operated on me and removed my Adrenal tumor he spoke to a thoracic surgeon, Dr Yendamuri and told him how vital it was to do the surgery & remove all my metastasis. That was in 2012 and I'm still cancer free. I can never thank him enough.

A Fabulous doctor. He has been my doctor for many years and has been responsible for removing and treating my cancer. He has a great bed side manner that is very comforting, when dealing with horrible and frightening disease. I highly recommend him if you are dealing urological cancer.

Roswell Park Cancer Institute is a gem. My interaction for this review was with Dr. Schwaab. Gotta love a guy who is as educated and experienced as he is (MD and PhD) and is just a nice down to earth pleasant person. Dr. Schwaab is my renal oncology specialist. If you ever need help in this area, run, do not walk, in his direction.
