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.

Excellent Primary Care Doctor
Dr. Schwartz took the time to listen to my issues and help me find the right specialists for follow-up care that I needed. She doesn't rush through the appointment.

I love my PCP. She is thorough, attentive and gets back to me ASAP with concerning results. I would recommend her to anyone. I trust her with my care knowing she will refer me to a specialist whenever I need one. I don’t mind waiting for her the few times I see her; I understand she has other patients too and she is definitely worth the wait. ??

Having a PCP of this quality is the difference between detecting cancer early and not.

Dr. Schwartz is a top notch physician and it's frustrating that people who don't know what they are talking about are able to leave reviews for medical professionals. My husband is an oncologist on faculty at Harvard and of all the medical histories he reviews for his own patients, he recommended Dr. Schwartz as being remarkably diligent, thorough, and competent. My husband is himself trained as a PCP (you have to be for oncology) and he'll be the first to tell you that the difference between

Dr. Schwartz filled in for my primary care doctor (on maternity leave) when I needed a pre-op physical. She was on time, knowledgeable and had read my records even though I was not a regular patient of hers. Very competent and pleasant.

Dr. Schwartz listens to my health concerns and if the issue is outside her specialty, she will contact the specialist for information and refer me to that physician. She does communicate with me through patient gateway whenever it is necessary or when I have a question. Thank you Dr. Schwartz.

Every time when i visited her for my medical issues, she would make me wait at least half an hour. And when finally she could deal with me, she spent probably less than 10 minutes on checking on my issues. I doubt she has the knowledge to diagnose any problems. I will change my primary care doc to other responsible one,

Joanna has been my family's PCP for several years now. She is expert, caring, and responsive. She works in a lovely office that is conveniently located. She is available on Partners HealthCare Patient Gateway, a wonderful electronic communication and medical information tool.
