Dr. Donald Switzer, MD

My experience with Dr. Switzer was a good one put a pacemaker defibrillator in me. i’ve been waiting for him to return so that he could check my pacemaker defibrillator out, I’ve been sitting at sisters Hospital for about a week and just want to get my situation taken care of..

I have been with Dr. Switzer for 24 years. He saved my life. He was able to Diagnose my Long QT syndrome, which is an electrical issue with the heart. This condition was rare for a 50 yr. old. Dr. Switzer is very knowledgeable. He is very quiet, but he will fully explain any concerns you have. I do not get to see him as often anymore. When I had my knee surgery, he gave me medical clearance. It was so nice to see him again. I would definitely recommend Dr. Switzer to anyone who requires his expertise!

Dr Donald Switzer actually saved my life when I was in the hospital.I coded & died. He put me in a medical coma & worked almost 8 hours or more.The end results were I had open heart surgery by another excellent heart surgeon in the same hospital.Dr Switee has monitored my pacemaker since 2008.. Dr Switzer is A1!I have lived a long and good life since 2008!

This practice should be named "Not so Great" Lakes cardiology. Dr Switzer replaced my generator/pacemaker. On the follow-up visit 2 weeks later, his nurses & NP told me that I needed to go back for a second surgery to replace the wires. Despite their bullying, for multiple days, and calling my regular cardiologist to try to coerce me, I refused. Based on a second opinion, and retesting, wire replacement was not needed. I'm glad I didn't believe them. Do NOT Trust this group. Just say NO. If the wires needed replacing, it should have been done during the replacement surgery - not require 2 surgeries.

Dr Switzer spent a great amount of time with NO rush discussing my heart problem’s. He made sure my wife and Is I thoroughly understood all options. Within a couple days he was able to do my procedure. It was decided after procedure that I would need a further surgery. I feel very confidant in Dr Switzer’s capability and will be having him do this procedure. I highly recommend his dedication to his patients!

I had been diagnosed with Long QT and SADS while living abroad. The problem got worse and worse as time passed and I began having heart attacks/ going into heart failure. I headed back to the US as my situation had become dire. I had no insurance coverage in the US and I knew Dr. Switzer was very busy with patients but he managed to fit my procedure into his schedule. On the day of my procedure a massive snowstorm had hit WNY/ Buffalo and I barely made it to the hospital even though I was only a few streets away. The weather was horrible and they were stopping unnecessary travel. The nurses today me Dr. Switzer would do his best to make it there. He drove 4 hours in blizzard conditions to make it to the hospital to do my procedure. My procedure was complicated and took 7 hours to complete. When it was finished he came in and told me he understood my situation and was going to waive his portion of the fees. I gave me another chance at life and I will always be thankful.

One of the best in area if not the best

I have had multiple dealing with Dr Switzler going back 25 years. He has always been caring and easy to speak with. I highly recommend!!

The most rude, unprofessional person my family has encountered in the medical profession

Dr. Switzer explained the procedure that I needed on my heart and did a excellent job to repair the problem.

A wonderful, kind, patient doctor. He put my very anxious daughter at ease about her procedure, took all the time we needed to get our questions answered, and came to talk to us twice after her procedure. Thank you Dr Switzer!

We saw doc way back before the ablation procedure was fda approved here in the usa. He accompanied my sister (the patient ) to London Ontario. It fixed her wpw and we never had another episode! He was kind and compassionate. I am actively seeking a new ept physician due to some different cardiac issues that have surfaced. More than 30 yrs later.....hope we can get in to see him
