I have been a patient of Dr. Schwartz's for approximately 14 years. He has helped me through multiple cancer types which were sometimes extremely difficult and rare. I have always felt confident with his recommendations for treatment. He has always been supportive and kind. I don't know if I would have survived this journey without his support and care. I am thankful that he is my doctor.

My experience with Dr. Schwartz and the nursing staff who welcomed me into the clinic proper was top-notch from beginning to end. I was treated with respect and kindness. I was nervous and had a lot of questions, but I didn't feel rushed. Dr. Schwartz understood my concerns and reassured me by patiently going over my history as far back as possible. He shared the relevant values from my labs as well as their meanings. I left the clinic with a plan for monitoring my health. I was very impressed with the Cancer Care Center, from the gentleman who volunteers to greet patients at the door, to the receptionist at the front desk, and finally to the specialist and nursing staff.
