Dr. Schwarz was very kind. He has a great bedside manner. He was thorough and answered all of our questions. I have seen doctors push surgery on patients. He did not. I trust him as a doctor and highly recommend him.

Dr. Schwarz went above and beyond to explain what's going on with my back, to listen to my concerns, and to answer my questions. If I could rate him 8 out of 5 on this chart, I would. I really appreciated his expertise and that he treated me as a real person with a real problem (and not just as another appointment). It was a 4 hour drive each way for me and I will do it again in a heartbeat for such professionalism.

I tell everybody I know about Vanderbilt, and their quality of treatment and care. Plus the hospital food is out of this world awesome, thank the chefs. But I cannot wait to get down there again and have surgery by Dr Schwartz on my lumbar region he's referred me to a hip surgeon, for I guess something something the necrosis. So I got a lot of health issues I heard all the time but I'm trying to keep a good mental outlook on things and it's definitely hard to do.
