Dr. Schwartz saved my husbands life, hands down. When my husband was admitted into the hospital after a ER visit where we thought he had covid-19 but turned out his left lung had collapsed due to a rare case of tuberculosis Dr. Schwartz stepped in and performed not one but two back to back Pleural Effusion's. Amazing Doctor/Surgeon/Man, this is the person you want in your corner and by your side when the stakes are high and your life is on the line. We quite literally owe this man our lives and are forever grateful to his and his team.

At UNM Cancer Center he did robotic surgery on the cancer in my right lung a year ago. He used the Da Vinci machine. Awesome in his use of the machine and his decision-making. He went right back in to provide a cleaner, deeper margin. Very little scaring. Returned to an active lifestyle and very grateful.

Dr. Schwartz took time to fully explain the surgery and possible complications to me in a manner that I could understand. My surgery was successful without any complications. He and his staff followed me closely through recovery. the care I received during and after surgery was fantastic. I highly recommend him without reservation.
