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.

Foot surgery
Schwartz attempted to fix a tear in my plantar plate. Almost daily checks after surgery my right foot had a big hole. He then sent me to a plastic surgeon who proceeded in dissecting my foot and cutting my perennial nerve in half. When I asked the plastic surgeon, what happened? He said he’s more of a hand guy. I then had to go to the university of Pennsylvania for more corrective surgery. I would never never recommend Dr. Schwartz or any of his cronies to anyone in my life ever.

The Best
Every surgery he performed on my feet was with excellence. He is kind considerate warm just a great doctor all around. People scare differently. Mine are hardly noticeable. Since I moved I can’t find anyone close to what this doctor is. I miss you Dr Schwartz

Dr Schwartz has a competent surgeon who did my procedure correctly. When he found out that I was struggling with my recovery. He actually went out of his way to call me at home and see how I was doing. I'm not leaving five stars because I was originally told that I would be driving 3 and 1/2 weeks after my surgery. That's what I was mentally prepared to deal with also what I scheduled to be away from work for. I'm finding out now that it's going to be twice that long. My suggestion is that if you have this surgery and deal with depression and anxiety make sure that you have measures in place to handle that. 6 weeks of isolation without being able to walk and being on your couch or bed 24/7 is enough to drive anyone insane. I have had multiple surgeries and this has been one of the most difficult ones for me to recover from both physically and mentally. At this point I do not plan on having the surgery on my left foot and will try to deal with the pain as long as possible.

I think Dr. Schwartz is one of the nicest Dr.s I have ever met. I had foot problems that were pushed aside by other podiatrists, however this Dr. helped me so much. Great staff and great Dr.

Do not let this man operate on you, if I could actually put pictures in this review I would. look me up in the phonebook and call. Look, after two surgeries this guy passed me off to a plastic surgeon to reconstruct my foot which I almost lost. I certainly hope they post this review. Just left surgeon 4 Lehigh Valley Hospital, He wants to amputate second metatarsal to correct all the errors. On a brighter note staff is friendly and courteous.

I was born with bad feet. As a child, a podiatrist is the first doctor i remember seeing as a child. In my years I’ve gone to a lot of foot doctors, most of whom have left me underwhelmed or worse. I’ve been seeing Dr. Schwartz for over ten years now and he has helped me more than I can say. Thank you Doc!
