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.

Very Frustrated
I made an eye appointment a year ago with Swartz eye care, Scottsdale, my appointment is coming up in a week, I get a call from there office that my appointment has to be canceled because the doctor is going out of town, I said ok let's reschedule and she said next available appointment is JULY!!!!! I said what your kidding me and she said that's all we got. TALK ABOUT POOR SERVICE, REALLY I JUST WAITED A YEAR AND THEY CALL ME THE WEEK BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT. VERY VERY UNPROFESSIONAL

Recommended lens not approved for my condition
Dr Schwartz told me cataracts need removal and when I asked what lens he recommends he said these light adjustable lenses. When I got home and read the info he gave me, these were not approved for people with macular degeneration. Tired to find out why he recommended these but no one got back to me.

Dr. Schwartz and His Office are Wonderful
Dr. Schwartz did my LASIK eye surgery in 2000 and I had 20/20 vision until recently when cataracts became a problem. This year he did cataract surgery on both eyes. I am very happy with the results and highly recoommend Dr. Schwartz and his entire office. Everyone is very professional and they always make me feel comfortable.

Feel safe with Dr Schwartz
I’ve always been satisfied with Dr Schwartz .He did my laser procedure in 2000 and it was perfect for 10 yrs then my vision deteriorated a bit but I only wear glasses to drive at night. He also did cataract surgery on my mom and it was successful, she was very happy.

Highly professional office & facilities. Dr Schwartz spends as much time as you need, explaining your diagnosis, options, and addressing concerns. Their high level tech equipment provides detailed imagery & measurements. Treatment includes numerous follow up visits to track recovery, and each visit includes a thorough eye exam. I went in with cataracts and very poor overall vision, and now I can read and drive without glasses! The world is literally a brighter place!

Dr Schwartz performed my LASIK procedure almost nine yrs ago and I am as happy with my results today as I was the day of the procedure. Now he just performed cataract surgery and lense replacement on my husband’s left eye two days ago and he also is extremely happy with the results. We go back in three weeks for his right eye. He can not believe how much better he already sees :). I “highly” recommend Schwartz Laser Eye center

The doctors are ‘ok’ - probably much better if you’re one of the athletes they advertise. The optical department takes 2+ weeks to respond. Very poor communication and response time is the worst I have ever seen. I’ve been a patient for just over a year but my patience has run out. I’m moving on. Unless you’re a professional athlete - I would continue your search for someone else.

Best doctor in the valley. He takes care of business and gets the job done. He's extremely busy but never makes you feel rushed when you have a question.
