Dr. Joseph Schwartz, MD

My dermatologist for many years. Many skin 'irregularities' treated in office, some referred to a surgeon, all resolved.

I'm not sure what some people are complaining about. I've been going there for 10 years and every time I've been there the service has been great. I had a 9am appointment today was seen at 8:50 and out by 9:20. Everyone I have dealt with has been smiling and friendly and has always given me the impression they really like their job and are there to help the patients. Katherine Lampert was the PA I've been seeing and she is dedicated and thorough and I couldn't be happier with her service. I would recommend DR. SCHWARTZ"S OFFICE to friends and family.

The staff is very unfriendly and inefficient, they do not know how to be gentle.

I was shocked at the dismissiveness of both Dr Schwartz and his PA. Both with rude looks on their faces when I voiced concerns I had about a skin lesion. Dr Schwartz waved his hand at me mid-question while he walked out of the room asking his PA to answer me. Seriously? I can find another dermatologist. Horrible experience.

He helped me, when I thought I was out of options..he also was very helpful with the battle with the insurance company to cover prescriptions

Follow up is terrible.

The office staff are horrendous at best. Schwartz himself appears to only be in it for the money. Routinely 2 hours late to the first appointment of the day. Patient care seems not to be on the priority list there. A special callout to the worst of them- Karen. Karen spent over a month rudely insisting that she does not have to submit pre-authorizations to insurance for pricey biologics and- in fact- they only do it as a COURTESY to their patients. If you’re on a biologic- you know that’s not how that works. Karen’s incompetence resulted in a full month lapse in coverage for a systemic medication needed to treat a severe chronic condition. Of course the condition flared in the absence of the medication and required steroid intervention to take the flare down. That’s the level of patient “care” you can expect to receive. Clearly am no longer willing to be treated like human cattle and have mooooved on…

Literally yelling this to everyone with an ear because this place is HORRIBLE!!! Horrible treatment and customer service from multiple staff members behind the desk. They spoke to me and treated me with disrespect and attitude. Little did they know that I’m able to reciprocate that same energy. I highly recommend NOT GOING HERE. No one should be treated the way I was today. DO NOT GO HERE. I repeat, DON’T GO HERE.

My husband and I have left Dr. Schwartz after 10 years of appreciating the care of PA Jordan who moved out of state. Aside from her expertise and carefulness, we found virtually all of the the administrative staff to be discourteous, rushed, and not careful in their work. The other medical professionals were not impressive either.

I personally love Dr.Swartz I have recommended him to many people over the years. Unfortunately, the current schedule manager is very unprofessional and demeaning, which does not reflect at all on Dr.Swartz. Her energy alone is not inviting. While going through a hard time she laughed at me.

The office staff is so nice. 1st time here and love it

I missed an appointment. When I called after the fact I was told that the PA would have to be asked if she would continue to see me. I was told they would call back. After three days I called again and was told I owed $25 for a no show, the PA still had to be asked, and don't even try to avoid the $25 fee and it was my fault. I hung up on the rude office manager and will go too a different Dermatologist.

This is a terrible practice. I would not recommend for anyone. The staff is miserable, absolutely miserable, and unprofessional/unaware of simple visit etiquette and insurance procedure. Beyond that, the PA questioned my diagnosis and eluded that I made up a very visible skin discoloration. Then, instead of recognizing it as one-time situation, she suggested it was an entirely new disease or possibly cancer. These were totally inappropriate suggestions just trying to have me come back multiple times over the next few months. It was insane - do not use this practice.

I wouldn't recommend ANYONE going to see Dr. Shcwartz!!! He is very RUDE! The WORST experience I've EVER had in a so-called doctor's office! I'm 40 years old and never have I walked out of a doctors office! This man is NOT worth anyone's time or money! He talks down on you and doesn't listen to his so-called patients!! HONESTLY, I'M SURPRISED HE HAS ANY PATIENT'S!! I'm TRULY DISGUSTED BY HIS SO CALLED PROFFESSIONALISM AS A DOCTOR! HE'S A JOKE!!! He doesn't even deserve 1 star but I couldn't save leave this comment without leaving him 1!

Awesome clinician, and a great person. Takes all the time I need, answers all questions. Highly recommended.

I had an appointment with Dr. Schwartz a few months ago. His staff were friendly and professional, but Dr. Schwartz was condescending. I felt like I was not listened to and the appointment felt very rushed. I canceled my follow-up appointment with him to find someone else.

Dr. Schwartz was rude and impatient with my 95 year old father. His PA Karen misdiagnosed a simple athletes rash as something much more serious. I would never send anyone to this practice.

Dr. Schwartz is exceptional as a dermatologist: knowledgeable, capable and considerate. I had a cyst removed today and he was kind, considerate and very professional. I recommend him highly as he has treated my problems effectively. You can't lose making him your dermatologist!

I would never recommend him! Missed diagnosed my husband and me!

Horrible experience. Everyone was very rude. Didn't even make it to see Dr. Schwartz because they wouldn't bill me my copay. Bad practice not putting patients first. Not going back.
