Reviews
About Dr Schwartz
Dr. Swartz is an amazing surgeon. He’s got me back to work twice after two shoulder injuries. Dr. Swartz is very professional and cares about his patients. I’d recommend anyone with upper extremities issues to Dr. Swartz. I hope I’m done with surgeries for the rest of my life. Thank you Dr. Swartz.
thank you very satisfied
Dr. Schwartz is very attentive and is amazing at what he does. When no one else listened, he did. He did my son’s surgery in the past and now mine and I wouldn’t choose anyone else to work on me. He’s an excellent surgeon!!! Thank you Dr. Schwartz!!!
***** Take a deep breath. You’re dealing with a professional with a bedside manner. This man could be compared to a fighter pilot hanging out in a 737… he’s jus crushing it. My affection for this doctor is evident in his obvious glam in the surgery room … focused on your needs and the issues surrounding your injury during your office. With Dr. Schwartz you could not be in better hands (pun intended)*****
Dr Schwartz is friendly and provides good care.
I feel Dr. Schwartz is a great Doctor and he feels passion for the injured person. He took great care of me, and I would recommend him to anyone who has wrist issues which is what I had. Phil Assia. Dublin Cal.
I met Dr Schwartz for a consultation for shoulder surgery and he is amazing he explained everything in detail on what will take place and he answered all my questions. I feel very comfortable knowing he will take care of all my issues.
I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz, he listen to his patient, very polite, easy to talk to. And the staff is his office, are also nice too.
I appreciate the board letting patients know if doctor is on time or running late. This gives you a choice of waiting or rescheduling. Never have I heard a mean or nasty comment from staff while waiting for my appointment to start. Everyone from front desk to leaving, always has a smile on their face & are very helpful. I appreciate the atmosphere. When I'm going to the Doctor I already don't feel well as I'm in pain. The smiles go a long way. Thank you.
Great doctor. Busy but always on schedule. Spend as much time as needed listening and helping the patient make the right decision.
