I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT DR.SWARTZ.HE WAS THE BEST AND THE CARE I HAD FROM HIM WAS AWSOME.I WOULD RECOMEND HIM TO ANYONE.
My first impression of Dr. Swartz was that he was a very busy man. As time went by and during my post-op care, I could not ask for better care. He is there to take care of you and help you with all of your questions. He's wonderful! He's on your team and with you every step of the way! rnrnrn
I met with Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Felix on June 19th. It was such an informative day. My first impression was that they are both pretty funny guys but they take this very seriously. I personally loved the office staff, especially Erica, and felt that even though the day was SO crazy with all their pre-op appointments, classes and seminars going on that they took the time and didn't make me feel rushed. During the seminar Dr. Schwartz emphasized the aftercare over and over again. He is emphatic that we are walking a mile by the end of week one and two miles by the end of week two. By the end of the first month they want you doing cardio and weights in addition to the two miles everyday. He covered all the risks of surgery and went into depth on the cases of the 4 patients they have lost out of the 3500 they have operated on. I haven't had surgery yet but so far I rate them a 10 and would recommend them to anyone.
My first impression of Dr. Swartz was, he is very nice and understanding. He was very straight forward about the risk as well as the benefits about the surgery....The staff was great very helpful,friendly and very charming and always willing to answer any questions you might have......So far I would rate him and the office staff a BIG 10.....
I am finished with all pre-requisites all I have to do now is get approval I am sure it will be soon. I can't wait it has been a long road waiting for this and finally, The time has come. I thought the office moved very fast but they are very helpful and efficient they know how to work with every aspect of the sugery.
The staff was wonderful - everyone from the nurse to the person who cleaned the room! They were all caring and sensitive to our needs (there was a section of bariatric patients all in the same area). It couldn't have been better!
rnMy first impression was that this was an EXTREMELY busy office! No time for small talk or anything other than get in and get out of your appointment. Honestly, on my first visit I felt a little rushed, but......the office was also very professional. I hadn’t come for the social activity, I had come to find a competent surgeon I could trust to perform this surgery and to hopefully be successful at losing weight.rnrnDr. Swartz impressed me as being knowledgeable and caring. He said I was a perfect candidate for weight loss surgery (not sure if that is said to all the patients), but when I left the office I felt confident that I had made the right choice in choosing him for my surgeon. I just felt comfortable with him. He strikes you as very professional and intelligent.rnrnOn my first visit back after the surgery, I was feeling very depressed and tearful, and in a lot of pain. He was very understanding and sympathetic, and told me my reaction was perfectly normal...which made me feel 100 % better. Also, when I thought I was having complications a few days after surgery, I called his office and his staff put him on the phone right away! He had me come in the next morning for an appointment and to have labs drawn. Fortunately, I was fine, but I was impressed with his attention to detail. rnrnrnI would highly recommend Dr. Swart for WLS.
My first impression of Dr. Swartz was that he really cared about his patients. He makes you feel as though you are his only patient. His office staff is great. They are always willng to take the time to help you with any issue that you may have. I can honestly say that there is not one thing that I can say about him that is negative. He really emphasizs the idea of life long commitment. I received lots of education before and after surgery. Without a doubt, after their preop education, I knew exactly what I was getting myself into pre and post surgery. He addressed any and all my concerns regarding any risks associated with the procedure, honestly and openly. Dr. Swartz and his team are fabulous. I would recommend him to anyone that is considering gastric bypass surgery!
