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.

One the best Radiation Oncologists in OC
Dr. Schwer simply saved my life. Not only is she extremely kind and gentle, she is extremely intelligent and capable of thinking through all possible diagnosis even if they are very rare. Multiple other doctors affiliated with Hoag assumed that my brain tumor was a benign scwannoma or atypical meningioma and recommended cyberknife radiation. Upon further Imaging Dr. Schwer became suspicious that the tumor looked more like a potential Chondrosarcoma, which is very rare for this location. She sent me to UCSD for a consultation where it was ultimately decided for surgical resection, when pathology came back it turned out that Dr. Shcwer was correct and it was a Grade II Chondrosarcoma. I applaud her ability to diagnose something so uncommon and to know when the treatment she provides was not the correct treatment for the issue. Thank you Dr. Shwer from the bottom of my heart.

Very happy with the treatment of my acoustic neuroma with cyber knife treatment. The tumor and cyst in the tumor continues to shrink after my cyber knife treatments. Dr. Schwer is very easy to talk to and answers questions in a way I could understand. Highly recommend Dr Schwer and her staff.

Dr. Schwer is an amazing doctor. She took care of my husband and helped keep him alive for almost four years. When we started we didn't know if he would live six months. She always made him feel safe and she always made us feel we were special. She sincerely cares and follows through. My family is so grateful for Dr. Schwer and her wonderful staff at Newport Diagnostic. They are all so caring and kind. My family thanks you and will always remember you.
