Dr. Schwartzman is one of the best doctors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I went to see him about a non-life-threatening problem for my heart, but he treated me like I was the most important patient to him. He thoroughly answered all my questions and was very patient with me. He even encouraged me to ask questions with very attentive behavior. I am so grateful to him that he was able to help me with my problem. If it wasn't for him I would still be struggling with my symptoms because my previous doctor did not help me at all. I know that if I ever have a serious problem with my heart Dr. Schwartzman will be there to help me make good decisions. He even said what most doctors don't want to say, he said, "If I can't help you I have a really good doctor I can refer you to." That means the world to me as a patient, I don't have to worry about trying to make a decision as to whether or not I need to get a second opinion. He will tell me if I need to get a second opinion and that takes all the burden off my shoulders as a patient. I can truly trust him to worry about my health for me. Last but least, his sense of humor is refreshing and puts me at ease, as I get a lot of anxiety whenever I go to the doctor. Thank you, Dr. Schwartzman!

I found it weird that the doctor went and got someone to come in the room while he examined me. He was very professional, but it just seemed odd to have a witness to fully clothes medical exam. The doctor's hands nor stethoscope touched me under my clothes.

Dr Schwartzman is the best! He takes all the time you need & has a unique ability to "dumb down" all the test results so a patient can fully understand what is going on. He is wonderful!
