Dr explained everything. One thing would be to communicate that the Dr is running behind schedule.

I would like to give a five however the wait time is ridiculous sometimes over an hour after your appointment time is scheduled that's pretty ridiculous he is really great when you see him and pharaoh but something has to be done about the wait time for people that are in pain sitting on time for their appointments

Dr. Schwartz is a very attentive and thorough physician. He reviewed my history with me and asked pertinent questions. After examination he recommended a good plan for my situation. Also my Rx’s were ready immediately and I received a call to set up PT appointments right away

He identified my problem with my hand although it wasn’t without a little pain. He told me what I was to expect before each action. Overall, I’m very pleased with him and I see him again if I needed his services.

Dr Schwartz listened to my concerns, asked related questions and offered advice for improving my stride and addressing stenosis problems. Concentrating exercise and therapy on the legs was a prominent suggestion. I plan to follow his advice and return for another visit in a few months. A very worthwhile visit today.

Professional, competent doctor. Not personable at first but warms up and becomes easy to confide in. He is very helpful and considerate.
