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.

One Star is Too Many!
You'd be hard pressed to find a worse neurologist than Guy Schwartz! This man was totally dishonest from the get-go, lying that he provided a specialized treatment I needed when, in fact, he did not. Instead, he was extremely nasty, insulted me for having the horrible condition I have, and simply wanted to pad billing for a worthless general neuro exam.Adding insult to injury, Schwartz then misused the patient health exchange record to attempt to smear and disparage me for complaining about his terrible service, including his having a horrible temper and anger management problem. Schwartz is about as bad as a doctor can possibly be, and worse, with zero compassion and absolutely no respect for a patient old enough to be his father.Neurological patients have enough hardship in our lives, and surely deserve better than this!

Dr. Schwartz was very caring, intelligent, professional, and has a fabulous bedside manner. Not an alarmist. He asks you if you have any questions for him, explains everything in detail, is not rushing you, and covers all bases during his exam. I will be transferring care to his office. His staff were an absolute delight. What a difference from the office I had been receiving treatment from. My prior neorologist was a crackpot. Dr. Schwartz is a doctor's doctor.

I was very impressed at the start, when Dr. Schwartz escorted me from the waiting room to the exam room. That was definitely a first. He was very calming, wonderful patience, thoroughly explained everything I needed to know, and made the exam very comfortable. I never once felt he was in a hurry, as is too often the case with other doctors. I am more than pleased with Dr Guy Schwartz as my Neurologist. Respectfully, Doris Costa

Dr. Schwartz gave me a very thorough examination to test for Parkinson's Disease. He told me that I had very slow moving Parkinson's. There was no medication needed. When I came back six months later, he again gave me a thorough exam and there was no change. He is an excellent Doctor and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs a neurologist. Dr. Schwartz spends as much time with you as you need and to me this is very important.

Dr. Guy Schwartz is the best of the best. If you are looking for an excellent Neurologist, he is the one to go to. Well worth the trip from Queens all the way to E.Setauket. I have beengoing to him for years and he is very knowledgeable and caring about his Patients. He does not rush through your visit & takes the time to explain any questions you may have. I wouldn't even think about going to someone closer just for convenience.

Dr Schwartz was kind, caring and compassionate. He is treating my mother for a-typical parkinson's disease and we have seen many doctors over the past three years. He listened to everything we had to say and responded to every question with compassion and in terms we could understand. He is not only knowledgeable but has a wonderful bedside manner. We have yet to find that amazing combination when working with specialists in the field of movement disorders. An overall wonderful experience!

After a few years of no diagnosis I met Dr Schwartz. One visit and I was diagnosed and treated. I followed him to Stoneybrook for continued treatment. He listens asks questions and gives full explanations and options. He and his office staff follow up and return all calls. . I trust him to help me get the best healthcare available and live life to the fullest. He taught me "Parkinson's is not a death sentence "

Excellent rapport with my special needs adult daughter and myself and is always willing to listen to our experience with her treatment between visits ( she receives Botox for torticollis - stiff and spasmed neck problem ). He is patient, fair, and treats patients as equals, suggesting and exploring treatments but never forcing them. Accommodates my daughter's day program scheduling needs. Mediates between patient and clerical staff about insurance labyrinths. Highly recommend him!!
