Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great ophthalmologist.
I saw Dr. Schwartz for a problem with my eyes. She was very thorough, explained everything so I could understand it. And she made me feel very comfortable with her knowledge and bedside manner.

Excellent eye doctor
Went in for my routine visit and the doctor saw something she thought needed another opinion. I have been going to Dr. Schwartz for many years. She is thorough with a very empathetic manner.

Best eye exam ever
I first was treated by Dr Schwartz for a medical issue with my eyes. During the follow-up appointment today, I asked the doctor to give me an exam for my eyeglass prescription. The exam she gave me was extremely thorough. Honestly, it was probably the best eye exam for checking both the health of my eyes and the prescription needed for glasses that I have ever received! Will be sure to continue with Dr. Schwartz, as well as have my wife's care changed to her, as well.

Eye Treatment and Care
I looked forward to my office visits with Dr. Schwartz and her Team at Edison Ophthalmology Associates, LLC. I was provided the best of eye treatment and education. She readily engages her patients in the plan for their eye treatment and exams, and I experienced it first-hand. Because of such excellent care I gladly drove over an hour to keep my appointments with her.

Her exam was extremely thorough and she was explaining everything as she was doing. Afterwards we discussed several situations that were going on and recommended some over the counter remedies. I have already recommended her to other people.

I am very pleased with Dr. Schwartz and the staff at EOS, L.L.C. They all display professionalism and real concern for the patient. Dr Schwartz has always shown thoroughness and patience. She takes time to respond to any issues or concerns of the patient, making you feel at ease with her. Would not hesitate to refer her to family or friends.

I have ever had an ophthalmology like Dr. Barbara Schwartz, so knowledgeable, caring, and professional. She is never in a rush, in her examination, and takes care of my eyes like if they were hers. I have seen many eyes doctors, before her, in the US and in Europe but none of them had examined my eyes like she does. Highly recommended!

I went there for a routine annual check, she did a thorough check. Then she made me go back for a 'glaucoma workout.' After the second check, she said I had possibly other problem, referred me to go to NJ Retina for more thorough check. The result was fine. Then she asked me to go back to her office again, I didn't go. Each time I went there, the wait was about half an hour before seeing her. Perhaps she was right to look very thoroughly, but perhaps she just liked more tests. I don't know.

Dr. Schwartz gave me the most comprehensive exam I have ever experienced. In the last year, I've been diagnosed with a serious eye condition and see a retinal specialist regularly. With Dr. Schwartz and my retinal specialist, I know the health of my eyes is in good hands. Dr. Schwartz's receptionists and technicians were all very cordial and very helpful. Thrilled to have found this practice.

Dr. Schwartz's bedside manner was incredible. She was very friendly, polite, and professional. She was very easy to communicate with. She listened to what I had to say about my vision problems and her examination was more than thorough as the exam lasted more than a half an hour. When the exam was completed she explained, in detail, all of the results. Her explanation was clear and concise and left nothing lost in translation. I would highly recommend her to anyone in a second. Wait worth it!!!

Dr. Schwartz. Is a very thorough doctor who takes the time to listen to her patients. If it wasn't for her diligence I would not have been diagnosed so quickly with a disease that could have made me blind. Her suspicions were correct when she sent me to a specialist and I was diagnosed with Temporel arthritis or Giant cell disease. I will always be grateful to her. I have always be happy with my visit with her, as has my husband.
