Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He performed a colonoscopy in 2016 and 2021. The procedure, risks, and results were explained very well. It was reassuring to get important feedback.

They say you never fully appreciate someone until after they have gone. This is true. My current pcp has been after me about getting a colonoscopy. I’m 62. Last time I had one done was about a year before Dr. Schwartz left the Attleboro area. He is definitely one of a kind. Wish he was still here.

Dr Schwartz is tremendously skilled which makes it easy to have a colonoscopy without any medication. His bedside manner makes it easy to forget why you are there and what is happening.

It was one of the worst medical experiences I have had in my life and due to many complicating conditions and referrals I have had many. I would not recommend this Doctor.

Dr. Schwartz performed my colonoscopy and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I have a history of Crohn's disease and had a lot to discuss with him before the procedure. He was very attentive, asked several questions and understood the issues that were of concern to me. The procedure went smoothly with minimal discomfort. He was kind and professional throughout. I also appreciated the printed information they gave me upon discharge, which explained the findings in detail.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. David Schwartz. He is well informed in GI medicine and is such a compassionate person. My GI symptoms have worsened over the years affecting my quality of life. Dr Schwartz spent time listening and offering a treatment that has improved my situation greatly. He has a collaborative approach acknowledging my concerns and offering solutions. He is both professional and friendly. I highly recommend Dr Schwartz and I am so grateful to have him on my team.

As a college student freshly moved away from family, Dr. Schwartz made me feel completely comfortable. He was very caring and never made me feel scared, which a lot of these conditions can leave you feeling. He treats his patients like family. Now that I've moved away since from VT, I find myself ONLY using David, as I trust him like no other doctor I've had.

David solved a GI problem that had been misdiagnosed by other doctors for over 10 years. Within 4 days of starting the correct treatment, the symptoms started to improve and haven't returned. He is very knowledgeable, and great problem-solver, and extremely generous with his time, both at appointments and with written communication. He's funny, too.

Overall fantastic experience. Dr. Schwartz was extremely patient and it felt like we were having a conversation while he was "interviewing" me to get a complete understanding of my symptoms. I did not feel rushed like I typically do in a healthcare setting; very refreshing. His staff have been very courteous and helpful too!
