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! Attentive, caring, kind and very diligent in meeting my children's vision care needs. We look forward to our annual visits. Can't say enough good things about the entire staff!

Dr Schwartz quickly diagnosed and unblocked both the tear ducts of my daughter. It was nerve wrecking to think of you child having an operation but she reassured us that there was nothing to be frightened about. The procedure was fast (literally less than 10-20 minutes), she explained everything to us thoroughly. She is great. Her office staff is incredible. I'm so glad we were able to have her perform the tear duct operation. We highly recommend her. PS the operation was successful!

Dr. Schwartz and all of her staff were incredible with my five year old daughter. They put her at ease and were attuned to the needs of a young child. Dr. Schwartz was warm and explained what she was doing in an age appropriate manner. I highly recommend this provider to all parents.
