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.

Excellent Doctor. Highly recommended.
Dr. Schweitzer serves as my primary doctor (he's the only doctor I see). My whole family has been visiting him for several years. He is very knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. He's very approachable and non-judgmental, and is very prompt in answering any questions or concerns that I (we) may have. He's excellent at diagnosing problems. This was aptly demonstrated when he prescribed the correct antibiotic for my son's football injury, which ended up being a MRSA infection. Without his correct treatment it could have been far more serious.

Failed to respond to out of range blood work results until health deteriorated significantly. Communication is harsh and lacks compassion. Even a few years ago, Schweitzer was helpful for urgent matters if someone in our family needed an X-ray or strep swab. However, over the years he has become aggressive and dismissive. He hasn’t helped even with obvious health care needs. Most recently and more than one occasion his treatment of family members as been unkind and unhelpful. None of our family members will go to him again.

We see Dr Schweitzer on an as needed basis. He is very thorough, very professional but most of all very kind and patient. His staff is very polite and helpful.

Been seeing Dr Schweitzer for quite a few years as General Physician and if any emergency (non hospital) items come up. We drive 25 miles each way to see someone we trust. Highly Recommend. His walk in facility is great - no appointments needed.
