    I have had several appointments (maybe 10) with Dr. Schwartz over the last couple of years and she is one of the best providers I ever had. She listens, is caring, explains things, discusses options. A different fellow has administered my treatment each time under her direction and how she treats them and guides them is amazing. No matter who is on her team, they discuss things together and are all respectful to me as the patient.

    I previously saw this provider and loved the care she provided . Although a different provider wanted to have everything done under her care. That provider did not meet my needs. Luckily I was referred to Dr. Schwartz and was thrilled to be treated by her. A very caring dr who goes the extra mile for her patients.

    Dr. Schwartz took extra time with us because it wasn't clear to her what we were there for and I really appreciated the fact that she sat and listened to us. I did not feel that way when I went to other doctors in the pain clinic.

    I would recommend Dr Schwartz to anybody she pays attention and listens and when I ask a question about something she's very knowledgeable and she is one of my favorite doctors she does not talk down to you and she really cares about her patience or at least me. I will admit I am not the easiest person to get along to and really don't like people but she is the best.
