I highly recommend Dr. Schwarz as he is very professional and kind. The office is spotless and very prepared for dealing with the virus and the staff is also very nice.

The price for the faculty is outrageous for horrible service.

This doctor saved my life. All test he runs may seem like they are nothing, but all have some meaning for this doctor. He keeps digging till he finds an answer. He took me to rounds twice till he found a doctor that would do as he asked. This saved my life. Have been going to him every since for the past 3 years. Would not trust anyone else.

My internist, Dr Gentry, recommended Dr Schwarz for my diagnostic colonoscopy. My first impression, as I made my appointment talking with Roshanda, is great.

Very good and very personable doctor. Does not give up until he finds the correct diagnosis.

Refers patients to centers that charge far beyond the rates other centers charge for the same services.

He helped us through a difficult diagnosis. I had complete confidence in his ability to guide us as well as treat my husband. I don't say that lightly.

I felt like a lab rat. Tests were proposed that did not relate to my condition, according to two other physicians, and there was no follow up after I had a bad experience attempting one of the tests. When I asked what the purpose of the tests was, he said, we are good at diagnosing but not very good at fixing anything. Phone calls were not returned by the doctor, but by a nurse reading his notes, so there was no possibility of interaction.

Staff & facilities were great. No discomfort at all. Dr. Schwarz was very professional and performed excellent follow-up. No problems before during or after the procedure.

Dr. Schwarz has always been available to me anytime of the day or night. He truly cares about his patients and what is going on with them. If he is not there right in them offoce when I go in for my remicade treatments, and I have a question, the girls up front make suer to let him know of my concern, and he always has someone call me back after talking with him. Dr. Schwarz is the BEST GI MD around!!!! He has helped me out so much!!And everyone that I have recommended to him, they love Dr. Schwarz as well!! Keep up the great work, Dr. Schwarz!! :)
