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.

Dr Schwartzenberg is one of the best care providers / doctors I have ever hard. I have stayed in the area just to continue seeing him. He has listened to me more than any other doctor.

Superstar doc - choose Dr. S!
Dr. Schwartzenburg is incredible. I had a different OB within Swedish for my first delivery (who was also great), but Dr. S happened to be the provider on call when I went into labor, so he delivered my baby. He was respectful, clear, and competent, explaining each decision point in a way that my partner and I could understand. I appreciated that he listened to my concerns and respected my decisions but was also not afraid to share his expertise. I had such a positive experience with him during delivery that I switched to his caseload for my second pregnancy, and his support during the whole process matched --- he never rushed me during appointments, made space for my questions, and had a perfect balance of pragmatism versus caution. I couldn't recommend him more highly!

Dr. Schwartzenberg has been incredible as a doctor and caregiver from my second VBAC to recovery to several later losses and ultimately my hysterectomy and followups. He listens and works with you for your best health. Couldn't recommend him enough.

This doctor is going to do a full hysterectomy for me in a few weeks, and I'm very confident that he's a great surgeon. He took the time to answer all my questions and was very friendly.

The best
He takes his time, never rushes me and is very kind and present. I've had many practitioners for various OBGYN issues over the years and Dr S is by far the only one that provides me with clear and holistic options. He's so professional and smart, and takes the time to explain things.

Unprofessional, arrogant and rude.
Unfortunately, he was assigned to be my labor and delivery doctor. It was a nightmare. It took me a few years to recover how rude the doctor was. I had 3 deliveries and had an amazing experience besides this one.

Dr Schwartzenburg and his staff are the best. The 10s are legit scores and not just me marking everything high. He is one of the reasons I haven't moved back to Massachusetts yet, because I appreciate his care that much.
