Dr. Schwartz is the absolute best. I cannot recommend her enough, Dr. Schwartz is the absolute…read morebest. I cannot recommend her enough, she is extremely dedicated and amazing at what she does. She is the only doctor I've ever been to that genuinely cared to help me, and it's very obvious that she cares about her practice and the well-being of her patients. Not only is she thorough and efficient, but she's very friendly and compassionate. I started seeing Dr. Schwartz after recurring infections, and she was the only person to take me seriously and truly help me. After so long of receiving poor medical care and having so many illnesses that majorly affected my life and ability to do normal things, finding Dr. Schwartz was a game-changer. I have never gotten into an office so quickly; every time I called, I was in that day or the next. She works incredibly hard, and while she is efficient, I never felt like she was aloof or not giving me the time I needed. It was also the first time I'd ever been given any explanation for what was happening to me, and after years of being told to "take vitamins" or handed different medications with no further evaluation, it was truly eye-opening to see what a good doctor is.
During a period when I was dealing with ongoing illness, I had seen other doctors who were not able to help me effectively, and that's when I found Dr. Schwartz-- even as a new patient, I was scheduled right away and I have to say I have never seen a doctor work so fast to help me. She scheduled all of the necessary tests immediately and took great care to find the right antibiotic for me, after having had reactions to other treatments. I was amazed, I had really never experienced anything like that in my life. Not only that, but I was embarrassingly emotional about my health during that time, and Dr. Schwartz's demeanor was exactly what I needed. She was honest and blunt about what needed to be done, but kind and reassuring that everything would be resolved. As a young adult dealing with health issues I never thought I'd have, it made an enormous difference.
I got sick again later on, which turned out to be another throat infection. I called and she got me in just a few hours later, and she let me know that when I was better I would need my tonsils out. When I asked for the surgery to happen as soon as possible, she made it happen. There were complications with my insurance that would have prevented the surgery from happening, and she worked extremely hard to get it resolved in time for me. I mean I literally watched her fight for me, it was practically a miracle. I had never had a surgery before, and I went in feeling completely secure, hardly nervous at all, because I knew I was in good hands. The surgery went very well, as did my recovery- she was very thorough and let me know beforehand all the things to do and not to do. She later told me that my tonsils were completely covered in scar tissue from the amount of infections I'd had, yet it still went perfectly thanks to her. We had follow-up visits after, and while I normally hate medical visits, I was always glad to see Dr. Schwartz. When I left my final follow-up, it felt like saying goodbye to a friend. It is so evident that she cares so deeply about her patients, and that combined with her incredible work-ethic and thorough knowledge and experience in her field, really makes her stand out as a medical professional. Dr. Schwartz made a huge impact in my life and my health, and I recommend anyone looking for an ENT to go to her, you could not be in better hands.
