"Dr. Schwartz has been amazing, as well as his staff. They all do a wonderful job at educating their patients. They have a system that works. His professionalism and kindness are reflected in his phenomenal staff. In my initial consult, Dr. Schwartz completed a short assessment and then sat down to talk to me about the surgery I was interested in (RNY). He was very open, honest, and to the point. He answered my questions thoroughly and left the forum open for any additional questions I may have. The next time I saw him was the morning of my surgery. He introduced himself to my family, who also thought he was very kind and professional. Once my surgery was completed, he spoke with them and answered their questions. I had a small issue with a hematoma at one of my incision sites and went to the ER the night I was released from the hospital. I told the ER staff I wasn't going home until I knew what Dr. Schwartz thought. I trust him. That's the bottom line. "
"The anesthesia team was fantastic. They were kind, considerate, and incredibly sensitive to my concerns and fears. They were tremendous, really. The staff in the PACU was also fantastic. It went down hill once I was in my room and I was being poked by my nurse yelling, "Kathy! Kathy!" My name is Alyssa. My middle name is Kathryn. Where she got Kathy, I have no idea. But from then on, I had to correct everyone who walked through the door. Thankfully, I was only there for one night. Though, it was not a private room and the corridor was tight - I could hear everything from pumps to coughing to snoring to vomiting to toilets flushing. It was a very unrestful sleep to say the least... even with pain meds. "
