I was referred to The Schwarz institute by my surgeon after major shoulder surgery…read more From the first day after I was greeted by Dr. William Schwarz I knew this was the right place. He explained how I would get better and how long it would take. He explained how hard it would be but he would make sure that I ended up with full range of motion. Between Bill Schwarz and Dr.Erika Doyle I received the most amazing care and cannot believe how well I have recovered . Every single staff member from the front desk to the staff that placed me on ice and heat was considerate and caring. They all even knew my name. Every person there knows their job and keeps up with every patient. This is a well run physical therapy institute with caring and extremely knowledgeable staff. I can honestly say I could not have recovered as well as I have without The Schwarz Institute and I am forever grateful. Sincerely.. Linda Danzig

The fact that the owner studied under Dr. Andrews was enough for me. He is about as nice as they come. If you read the other review from UPSET P, the name alone should tell you enough about her credibility. She sounds angry about everything!

During my pregnancy, I kept on hearing that I have to pick a pediatrician sooner rather than later…read more This was especially stressful during COVID as I couldn't go and tour the offices. This office was referred to me by a close friend who has two young children, but I didn't want to go to the first office referred to me right off the bat. That is why I placed several calls to other pediatrician offices. This office immediately stood out. And now, even after going for my son's two month wellness check up, I know for sure I made the right decision. Right off the bat, from my initial call, the office manager was extremely informative. She sent me paperwork prior to our first visit and let me know how things would go about after my son was born. I was instantly relieved as they explained what needs shortly after birth. Our first visit (and the others right after, because our son was a bit on the smaller side) were just as informative as my initial phone call. I also had a visit with their lactation specialist who was super cool, easy-going, and very reassuring. She is there every Tuesday, and you could book an appointment just to see her or book an appointment to see her on the same day your child has and appointment. They also have a great protocol put into place for COVID. You wait in your car and once you arrive you text the office to check-in. They text you back with a number for where you can wait in the waiting room. Appointments are very well spaced out and I feel safe visiting each time. They have several doctors at the practice, and we've seen three of them so far and they all have been great. The nurse staff is awesome as well. After today's two month check up I noticed that our nurse recognized our son, which was very refreshing. The office itself is very clean, and fun for children. Each room has a different theme and there's also a huge fish tank in the center of the waiting room, very entertaining for children. Finally, I do have to speak to their telehealth system. A few weeks back we had a question and didn't know if it was serious enough to bring our baby boy in. We set up the app and booked a telehealth appointment and within 30 minutes we saw one of the doctors, virtually. He was empathetic that we were first time parents and reassured us that our baby was OK and we were doing a good job. If I could praise this place more I would. I am super comfortable with my baby being treated here, and look forward to him growing with this office.

I was a patient at this office and only very recently left because we moved out of the area. A lot…read moreof the doctors and staff are fine, but one recent incident was completely inappropriate and has left me feeling very uncomfortable. During a brief insurance lapse of just a few weeks, when my 2-year-old with asthma began coughing, I reached out for help getting his usual medication -- and the entire experience was unnecessarily cold, bureaucratic, and dismissive. I was told that because I hadn't filled that prescription since April (less than a year ago), we'd need to come back in person, even though it was clearly on record. I was also told there were no refills left, but CVS confirmed there actually was one -- which they refused to transfer from our old pharmacy on Long Island. When I tried to clarify what to do next, the front desk repeatedly talked over me -- even after I calmly said, "I'm still speaking" -- and then hung up. A doctor called back at one point and left a voicemail saying, "Call if you need anything," but when I did, I was told the doctor wouldn't speak with me and that I'd need to wait until Monday for the office manager. It's now Wednesday, and no one has called me back. Most concerningly, I was repeatedly shamed for not taking my son to a local doctor -- even after explaining that we were temporarily uninsured and trying to avoid hundreds of dollars in fees for what should have been a simple refill of a medication already on record, prescribed for a 2-year-old child with asthma. One staff member even accused me of not bringing my son in for months, which was both untrue and completely inappropriate. He is fully up to date on all well visits and vaccines per AAP guidelines -- I simply hadn't needed to bring him in because he hadn't been sick until now. The lack of compassion and communication was deeply disappointing. I'm a concerned mother trying to prevent my toddler's asthma from turning into something serious while waiting a few days for insurance to restart. It shouldn't take this much effort, or meet this much indifference, to get a necessary medication for a young child. Ironically, the same week this happened, the office was still calling and texting me to schedule well visits -- so perhaps their systems, and their approach to patient care, both need some reevaluation.

My girlfriend had a new patient appointment at 9:15am today. We arrived at 9am to fill out forms…read more At 9:25 while waiting to be taken back after filling out forms they told us her insurance isn't taken here anymore. We have had this appointment scheduled for a month. Her insurance hasn't changed. The office has had her insurance information since she made the appointment. They could have called us at any point prior to 9:25am today and we could seek care elsewhere. The front desk staff are completely incompetent and unprofessional. This is a practice that needs to be absorbed by a bigger hospital organization and ensure competent patient care. We wasted our time and my girlfriend now has delay of care in tending to her active medical issues. Completely unacceptable. Do not go here.

Today was the my last day that my daughter will be attending this speech facility…read more I recently tried to login to attend my daughters zoom session for speech therapy. I was appalled by the level of discrimination and false accusations about my child's attendance. There was a lack of understanding and compassion for the multiple hardships we have faced this month. We were treated poorly for the things we could not control. My daughter was exposed to COVID, and our car broke down. We explained our hardships to Theralympic Speech. Despite having explained that she was unwell and transportation was an issue, they refused to work with us a little longer to get back on track. We tried to speak to the director about our concerns about the policy and the troublesome speech therapist Katelyn; however, she failed to follow up and disregarded our concerns. The clinic first offered zoom meetings, but they lied about my daughter's attendance causing her not being able to attend speech sessions anymore. We did attend the sessions, they falsified her attendance on certain dates. When the therapist did sign in she was over ten minutes late at times. The therapist also kept trying to misdiagnose my daughter for something other than speech help even after we explained she has been evaluated. I highly discourage parents from bringing their children to this Speech facility. Unless you want to be discriminated against and mistreated, I would stay away from this place. No child should feel unwanted and be denied services due to hardships. No parent should feel like a failure after trying their best. Good luck parents.

Very disheartening experience with Stephanie, one of the Director's. Extremely rude and sarcastic…read more It is unprofessional to talk to potential patients casually. During a conversation Stephanie had voluntarily disclosed that with a particular insurance type a patient wouldn't be seen, and that her office was the only provider willing to accept and good luck on finding help elsewhere. What healthcare professional speaks like this so someone? This derogatory language is super judge mental and telling of her opinion of patients with minority backgrounds. To put down patient by bringing up insurance and the quality of it, when someone is just inquiring about options, is insane! I do not recommend using their services if you truly want non-discriminatory treatment, especially on Long Island. No matter sex, age, race, income, insurance, patients making even INQUIRIES for care should be treated with respect, professionalism and understanding. I am leaving a review because sometimes people just write off experiences like this and move on, but it's not fair if other potential healthcare seekers go through similar things that can be avoided by just looking over a previous person's experience.

Amazing at keeping her calm, relaxed and engaged during both visits . Every team member we met was incredible. Efficient and with clear communication every step of the way! I have taken her to a few different dentist due to changes in insurance and relocating...this by far is my favorite. I can tell by how relaxed her hands and feet was during both appointments that she wasn't scared. Usually her hands would be clenched in a fist , never here
