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.

A great and caring doctor
I have been going to Dr. Schwalb for about 5 years. I moved to the area from Westchester County and was worried I would not find a good doctor here. It took me a few tries, then I found him. He is a great doctor who genuinely cares about his patients. He takes his time and never rushes you out. Unlike other doctors these days, he doesn't over prescribe meds. He works with me to find solutions to my problems. If it is serious, he does what is necessary to get a good result. He listens and responds to all questions. I tend to worry and he puts my mind at ease and makes me feel comfortable. He is friendly with a great sense of humor. I highly recommend him.

My third visit with him. Work wanted me to go because I got lightheaded. Have not had a cold in many years, and my temp was fine. But this"doctor" who doesn't like to address real medical issues, like my high blood pressure and other things insisted I get a covid test and when I refused he demanded I leave and made a scene outside of his office. So much for the Hippocratic oath. Profits over people. His demeanor changed with visits. Money talks I guess....

Dr. Schwalb is always very polite & superb medical knowledge. He is always honest with the patient &/or any family members involved. But he does enjoy a good sense of humor too. His office staff, & other medical staff in the practice are just as polite in their varied professional positions. Keep up the great work!

Always concerned about my health & settings goals like my A-1C . Knows his stuff too. Knowledgeable, nice, & keeps up with current medical research like medications. Found me one that has changed my diabetes for the better. What else could anyone ask for. Sees me every 3 months for blood work and checkups. I feel like I have a NYC park avenue doctor in the borscht belt. Just don't have to ride 2 hours in traffic.
