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.

Dr. Schwimmer is an amazing doctor with excellent credentials, his staff is professional and he always exhibits a calm manner. He called multiple times to check in on my well being after the procedure and thoroughly explain my results so that I felt comfortable and cared for. I would high recommend Dr. Schwimmer for anyone in the South Florida area.

The BEST!!
Dr. Schwimmer is an Exceptional Gastroenterologist!I've been under the care of Dr. Schwimmer since he’s come to town, and I can confidently say that he is one of the best medical professionals I've ever encountered. His expertise in gastroenterology is truly impressive. From the first consultation, I was impressed by his deep knowledge of digestive health issues and his ability to explain complex medical concepts in a clear and understandable manner.Dr. Schwimmer takes the time to listen attentively to my concerns and thoroughly answers all of my questions. He made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the entire treatment process. His diagnostic skills are remarkable, and he was able to accurately pinpoint my condition quickly, which was a relief after months of uncertainty.Overall, I am extremely grateful to Dr. Schwimmer for his exceptional care and expertise. Thanks to him, I feel confident that I am on the path to better digestive health. I would highly recommend Dr.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Scwhimmer. He listened to my concerns thoroughly and allowed me to ask as many questions as I needed to feel heard and comfortable. He and the nurses/ coordinating staff all had a very friendly and calming energy which made me feel like I was in the right place to receive the best care. Dr. Schwimmer displayed exceptional knowledge and made me feel very comfortable with our treatment plan. I highly recommend seeing him if you're looking for a specialist!

Great doctor
Dr. Schwimmer is incredibly knowledgeable and caring. He is very thorough and takes his time to explains things and address concerns. His staff is incredibly kind. Little to no wait time every time I’m there. Office always clean and well sanitized. Also one of the few doctors with competent staff able to properly handle inquiries over the phone. 5 stars.

He was dismissive, undermining, unprofessional, egotistical and belittling. My chief complaint was ignored and he focused on miniscule details that I could look up on my phone. The staff is also very unprofessional with setting up appointments, obtaining basic vitals and Jessica, the manager, does not care about patient advocacy. I highly recommend people to go elsewhere.

Amazing IBD specialist
Dr. Schwimmer has been my care provider for IBD for a few years. For any patient with IBD you know how difficult it can be to find a doctor who understands the disease. Dr. Schwimmer knows our struggles. He is thorough with examinations and testing. He asks a lot of questions about how I'm feeling and what can be improved. He answers my questions about my condition, procedures, medications, and testing. More than anything, he cares. He wants his patents to have a great quality of life. I consider myself lucky to have him as my doctor!

Stay away
This doctor (and his office) will make mistakes, not own it and expect you to come in again so it can be rectified for another office visit fee. The communication between the surgery center and his office is not existent and they each point fingers at the other for the error leaving patients to figure it out. Once we were able to figure out the mistake the doctor coded wrong, they said too much time had elapsed and we would need to go in again for another office visit for him to fix this. Yet, it was multiple calls that got unreturned by his office and finger pointing at the surgery as we kept persisting but now it’s too late because no one there could do their jobs in a timely manner. Own your mistakes and make it right.

I had ongoing condition that was being ignored by another GI dr ..I was frustrated and in pain, so I changed physicians. Dr Schwimmer immediately addressed my situation, offered temporary relief until much needed surgery could be performed! He is was excellent. I highly recommend.
