I have been his patient over 7 years. He removed my cataracts about 4 years ago. Dr. Schwartz is a highly skilled surgeon. It was all over in about 5 minutes. The eye drop prep seemed like 30 minutes. My vision feels like 20/20. He is patient, answers your questions and, most important, makes you feel confidant that you are in good hands. A definite 5

I found Dr. Schwartz through referral from my PCP. From the moment I entered his office, everything was cordial and professional. Office staff fabulous. Everything was explained clearly. I had cataract surgery - lens replacement in both eyes. The results are amazing - 20/20 in both eyes now. Surgery was relaxed and easy. I think this doctor is extraordinary. I've been recommending him to everyone.

I have never had a more positive experience with an ophthalmologist. I have had significant issues with vision and Dr. Schwartz and his staff have taken significant amounts of time diagnosing and also fitting contacts and glasses that accomodate my needs. Would highly recommend him.

I visited Dr Schwartz after getting a paper cut in my eye. who gets paper cuts in their eye?! anyway his staff was great, all the girls were so nice and caring. Dr Schwartz himself was very kind and reassuring since i was acting like a big baby. I followed up for a regular exam and everything was just as pleasant as my first visit. I will definitely be recommending Dr Schwartz to my friends & family!!!
