I reviewed Dr. Schwartz on the UCSF Orthopedic page (Here:…read morehttps://www.yelp.com/biz/ucsf-orthopaedic-institute-at-mission-bay-san-francisco-2?hrid=etbb31jjyjQm6yVbSrx4oQ), but I just discovered he has his own page, so I'm adding it here. --- If you read nothing else -- I love Dr. Schwartz!! LOVE. I had a terrible experience with another doctor earlier this year (they made a massive mistake - I'll leave it at that), however, it's all good because it led me to Dr. Schwartz. (This is exactly why I love life - you get a little bad, and then a lotta good...just be patient and don't forget to look for the good!) When making my first appointment, the person at the directory wasn't too confidence inspiring. I got a lot of "uh..." and "umm..." before he said, "he's barely ever here....it's gonna be awhile...." Oh, boy. So I get bad news AND the dude who can help me isn't available? Great. I ended up landing an appointment within a couple weeks from that call, and I've seen Dr. Schwartz several times since then. I honestly don't even know where to start with him. He blows away every stereotype and bad experience I've ever had with doctors or the medical profession in general. Dr. Schwartz listens, is caring, is never dismissive, thoughtfully answers EVERY SINGLE QUESTION (including all the ones I start with, "So, I know I shouldn't but...I googled......."), is funny, unbelievably accomplished, methodical and thorough, knowledgeable, kind - should I go on? While his original assistant has since left, his new one (Mazie) is just as lovely, and all the nurses are great, too. My one nitpick is the wait times. I book early in the morning and still haven't been seen in under 45 minutes. That's rough when you work 9-5ish. That said, Dr. Schwartz never rushes the appointment, and for that I'm grateful. Expect to spend a couple hours here, and know that it will be well worth your time. I couldn't be happier to have found him, even if the road *to* him was less than great. PS I dare you to find a more accomplished doctor (just google him!). Anyone else his age would be sipping margaritas on an island somewhere, yet he's still going 200MPH and is in the process of writing a textbook for medical students, on top of everything. He's unstoppable.

Dr. Julie Anne Cahill has been my doctor for the past 10 years. She's been through it all with me…read more When I first met her I had lost 4 close relatives and friends. Basically the first time in my life I had lost anyone. She took her time and walked me through those horrible months like a best friend. She was amazing while maintaining her professionalism. She is retiring in a couple of months and I feel like I'm losing someone who I can call on when I need to. She will no longer. Be there. What a huge loss. What a wonderful Doctor you have been to all your patients. God Bless you Julie.... Your truly admired.....

That said, it having been a few years since my last appointment, and a few life changes since then, called her office to set up a time for a physical. I was told, however, by her staff, that since I hadn't been seen in the past 3 years, my file had been closed, and I'm no longer considered a patient, and that she's not accepting any new patients. I thought at least a letter before my file was cancelled would have been courteous. Yikes. Now looking for a new doctor, preferably one who doesn't need to cancel out their relatively healthy patients. Very sad.

I haven't…read morebeen able to get a call answered for a week now and my pharmacist even tried calling and faxing them, but no answer! They had the door locked during business hours and when we knocked they shut the lights off in their office. They came out of the door, ready to leave for the day at 3 pm when they were to be open for two more hours. I confronted them and asked what was going on. They said that there were no patients for the day so they could go home early. When I told her my issue, she said she "didn't know how to do that" and that the woman who did works like once a week. Yeah, doctors are AWESOME, but I'll go to someone else if this crap doesn't get fixed. I'm just wondering why this hasn't been fixed yet, do the doctors even know and if they do, are they ok with this kind of treatment?

Dr. Stewart delivered both my children. I was very nervous being it was my first delivery, I was…read moreterrified of ripping. She assured me she would make sure I wouldn't. On delivery day she had 4 bottles of baby oil, she then explained to be she will put it on me & she would gradually stretch the area to avoid rips. I could not believe it, when it was all over I sure did not rip. With both my babies. It truly was an amazing experience & for her to make sure it all went smoothly made it so much better. I was blessed to have her deliver my babies. She's truly an amazing Doctor!

Dr Glickman performed my surgery and he helped me every step of the way. He listened to our…read moreconcerns and took time to let us ask all of the questions before the surgery. He cares about his patients. He actually referred me to another doctor to attempt to do a non-invasive procedure instead. We knew that procedure had a 50/50 chance of working. When it didn't he worked with me to schedule my surgery as soon as possible. Oh and by the way 3 days prior to my scheduled surgery we found out I also needed a second surgery for something unrelated. He was able to meet with me right away and we decided together to both surgeries at the same time. He had the OR books for the additional time and arranged it with his second surgeon as well. When I had complications after surgery he was available 24/7 to help. Truly amazing surgeon! Thank you doctor! You likely saved my life! I should also mention that my surgery was very complicated and never been seen to that level before.

I had my 4th baby at Kaiser Modesto back in August 2024. And even though it has been a couple…read moremonths ago by now, I still think back and could not have done it without the epidural that Dr. Tseng put in for me. I've had other epidurals before and every time something has gone wrong after. My blood pressure would get scary low or I would have pain still. But this time it was perfect. And I was able to stay so calm and stress-free during the whole thing until my baby girl came. I am so thankful. I'm so glad that Kaiser Modesto has such a talented and caring anesthesiologist like Dr. Tseng.

Dr Rashad and his staff were amazing. He was very calming I…read morewas scared. Mike the nurse did a great job with getting my IV in with just one poke he listened and used a vein Detector device to help locate a mean because I'm a hard person to get an IV in. Dr. Rashad explained everything in detail as to what he would be doing you can choose to be sedated or not and basically I couldn't fall asleep but the doctor tried.I watched the screen I asked for my glasses and they are not allowed in the Operating room. Dr Rashad he pulled the screen a little closer when there was something to see he was just really so nice he was explaining and he printed pictures. I basically had myself freaked out in my head end it wasn't nearly anything to be afraid of. I'm glad that I did get the test done because I did end up having 3 polyps and now they are removed. So now I know what to expect when I have to go again in five years but the experience wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I did get good rest after I got home. I did research the doctor before going in and one lady posted negativity several times again that was in Fairfield and it had nothing to do with the doctor and it was years ago so my experience was completely opposite. I had easy and quick service it the prescription was called in the pre OP medication to take that medicine before you go in done within a week so between phone calls getting medication and being in the O.R. An outpatient procedure( very professional team ) I was thinking about posting my nice pretty pictures of my polyps but I decided not to anyhow if I could I give this doctor 10 stars he was really professional and his staff was outstanding also Outstanding customer service professional a scary experience that wasn't as bad as I thought. I personally highly recommend Dr Radhad
