If you have real pain and have never been known to abuse any kind of meds, please find another doctor. He will make you feel like a drug addict and threaten to take away pain meds already prescribed. His last question was, So would you like a morphine pump?"

Both him and his staff dont truely care for your well being. Find a doctor who is going to be practicing for a long time... This guy doesnt have much time left at 80 years old and still doing surgery! Do you trust old shakey hands?!

I'm new to Dr Schwachman , but within 6 months he has come to be a Dr. I would recommend to anyone, because he listened and does best for his patients I am so grateful to have him, I lost my previous Dr of 20 years prior to meeting Dr Schwachman so trust is everything to me in a Dr.
