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.

Outstanding Physician
I visited with Dr. Schwarz for the first time. Within minutes, he had reviewed a series of MRIs and it was like he knew me as a patient in detail forever. Patient, smart, answered all questions. Took me through my MRIs in detail. And a nice person. Staff also very helpful.

Neurosurgeon par excellence!
Telehealth
Dr. Schwarz quickly diagnosed my stroke (TIA) condition. He cleared out the plaque and inserted a stent in my left carotid artery. This was done on Saturday morning, Sept. 14th. When I awoke on Sunday, Sept. 15th, I was completely back to my normal self. I even completed the NY Times Sunday crossword puzzle. Today, Oct. 16th, I've had no side effects. On a personal note, Dr. Schwarz is an easy man to talk to. IOW he has a warm, likeable 'bedside manner.'

Wonderful experience. I had delayed going to E.R. for personal reasons. So it had been about 2 weeks before I had my appointment with Dr. Schwarz. The waiting time was reasonable and I was made to feel comfortable and was kept unto date on delay. Dr. Schwarz went over everything with me showed me scan and explained what they saw. I did not have to receive and further care. He explained that if I did start to feel any pain call immediately. I was very pleased with the way I was cared for.

Most recently had a telehealth visit. Dr Schwarz as usual was warm, very informative, empathetic. He involved me in making medical decisions. Was not rushed. I feel fortunate to have him managing my neurosurgical care.
