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.

Wait time is unreal
I wish I could say we had a positive experience but the office was running over an hour behind schedule. The staff is great; he is not. No acknowledgement of running behind, literally spend 7 minutes with us. Not only did I need to use personal time away from work to get to this appointment, but my husband had to then cancel his afternoon meetings to get our son from preschool. When we asked about rescheduling, we were told the next appointment was 2 months out.

Dr. Shwayder is only after money and unfortunately that is very true. He cares to see patients with higher end insurances to get paid more, but patients with other insurances he leaves them waiting for more than two hours without even letting them know anything or apologising.

My sister in law went to Dr. Shwayder for her baby and was completely unprofessional and stood over her yelling at her and berating her for her personal vaccination choices, making fun of the fact that she uses cloth diapers saying “you don’t vaccinate so of course you use cloth diapers.” He continued throwing insults at my family and i don’t believe that he should even be able to keep his job after displaying such a nasty attitude and unprofessionalism. Shame on you. You don’t deserve your job.
