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 is the best MD I have had in my 85 years.

A physician should be compassionate, caring and empathetic. I found Dr. Schwager to be none of these. His abrasive bedside manner indicates, to me, someone who is self absorbed with his status and only in this profession for the money

I really wish I could leave 10 stars for Dr. Schwager. I've been a patient of his for over 12 years. Not once have I ever left his office and felt anything less than fully cared abou;, not just exclusive to that appt, but beyond. Dr. Schwager has really changed my view of doctors and he's changed my life in such a way that the quality of my everyday life has improved and far surpasses any moment beyond the 12 years as his patient when I've felt even slightly content. Simply Amazing!

Dr. Schwager is amazing. He is knowledgeable, kind, caring and takes the time to determine the best course of action for the needs of his patients. He listens to your concerns and does his best to address them or get you a referral to the proper specialist to do so. He understands that each patient's needs are specific to them and creates a course of action based that individual. He takes the time to explain the plan to the patient in a way that they will understand it.

Unfortunately multiple office breakdowns with incomplete and/or incorrect follow through which resulted in serious issues. The patient is the one who suffers even with a good doctor if all other areas of the practice have problems. Even tried to get concerns addresses through the office manager who pawned it off to another office breakdown not willing to deal with or take responsibility. Upon deciding to move to a more competent practice it took nearly two months to get medical records.

Over an approx 7 mths I was treated rudely by his MA Vicki. Also, diagnosed conditions were neglected. Bedside manner was poor, raising his voice! Forgetful and confused at times.
