My dad was nearly dying 8 months ago form lung bleeding and he saved him with a camera that he put into the lungs. Today we have my dad alive and home thanks to the doctors help. My family is very grateful

My mother was recently diagnosed with pneumonia, Dr. Schwarcz was incredibly patient and clearly explained my mother's issue to my siblings and I. We were very lucky to have had him as our doctor, my mother was in great hands.

No follow up. Off staff extremely rude! Have a critical condition and have had to find another competent doctor.

Doctor was really good and figured out my problem after a couple of visits(mold exposure) that other docs couldn't get. I was impressed with him and I stayed with him since then.even though office staff not good, I guess he can't fix that. Highly recommend him
