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.

I walked in to an appointment, sitting watching this circus in action, as I was called in from a waiting room that looks like you’re waiting for a flight, I got the smell. Told the nurse this place is not for me, turned around and walked out. This place is disgusting. Never met with the doctor, I seen enough. I’m going somewhere else.

'Consummate Professional'
Dr. Schwartzwald's thoughtful and comprehensive approach to patient care and patient caring is indeed noteworthy. He demonstrated a genuine, honest interest in my 'individual' health circumstance and took the TIME to engage with me accordingly. Dr's pleasant, cordial and focused demeanor facilitated and dialogue that brought me knowledge and information so vary valuable to my urological health journey!

Poorly Run Office
Dr. Schwartzwald is a good urologist, however his office is extremely poorly run. Regardless of what time your appointment is scheduled for you will wait and endless amount of time. The clincher is that patients arriving after you are called in earlier than you. The waiting is indeed frustrating!! If you plan on seeing Dr. Schwartzwald expect a lengthy visit regardless of your appointment time!

Very unsatisfied!!!!!
Dr ignored kidney stones that should have been removed. 6 weeks in hospitals (ICU 3weeks) 3 weeks in rehab learning how to walk again. Nightmare. I had Sepsis. My daughter on top of everything and Delray Medical saved my life. Avoid Doctors that do not take a personal interest in you as a patient.

Nothing good here
Wait times take hours, sitting out in the lobby. The staff is running around in a huge, disorganized rush. No personalized attention given to patients. One dirty bathroom for urine samples. The whole place looks unkempt and not clean. They require an imprint of a credit card to be seen. I had to ask for an antibiotic before my cystoscopy. Dr Schwartzwald injured me during the procedure and prescribed a medicine not covered by my insurance company. Rather than prescribe a comparable medicine he made me file for a waiver from my insurance company. It was denied, all while I was in pain for weeks. His staff did not help. Finally nurse friends gave me the names of 3 meds, so I called him and he jumped on the phone while I was talking to his staff and started yelling at me. "Which one do you want?" He yelled. I said "PICK ONE." He did. It was covered. It worked, but anyone that puts up with this type of care is insane. Everything about this place is Third World. Find a better doctor, I did

My husband has been seeing Dr. Schwartzwald for four years for a serious medical condition and is very pleased with the excellent, compassionate care he has received. Dr. Schwartzwald saved his life. All members of his staff are wonderful, too. Dr. Schwarzwald is very knowledgable, competent, and professional. He stays current with new treatments. He is also extremely kind and patient. Dr. Schwartzwald has a very busy practice but is never too busy to answer questions, no matter how many we have. We highly recommend Dr. Schwartzwald.

My husband was a patient of Dr. Schwartzwald's for 19 years, and received consistently exemplary care, including three surgeries -- all successful. In 2008, when my husband was in excruciating pain, Dr. Schwartzwald came into the office on a Sunday morning to see my husband, and admitted him to the hospital immediately. It turned out it was an extremely aggressive blood cancer. If Dr. Schwartzwald had not come in that Sunday, I do not believe my husband would have survived, because the cancer was so aggressive and had already spread so far -- stage 4, all through his bones. He did survive, and we had an additional 13 years cancer-free, before my husband passed away last month. We both believed we owed his life to Dr. Schwartzwald's exceptional compassion, diagnostic, and surgical skill. Yes, his office is a busy one, because he is an incomparable physician, who knows what he is doing, and people seek him out. He added years to my husband's life, and life to his years.

My urologist of 12 years has retired, and my primary care doctor recommended Dr. Schwartzwald. When I got there his waiting room had at least 15 people sitting around looking very unhappy and uncomfortable. The man sitting two down from me tell the reception nurse he had been waiting an hour and a half. I asked how many appointments the doctor had made for that day. They would not tell me. But we can do some math: if Dr. Schwartszald has 15 people waiting at eleven in the morning, we can assume he has booked at least 20 people before lunch. That, plus another 20 after lunch means he is running 40 people a day through that office. One doctor, one PA. So! Some quick math tells us that if he is seeing 40 people in one 8 hour day, those people -- the guy next to me who had been waiting an hour and a half -- are going to see the doctor for five minutes! This is a very bad model for healthcare. You can skip this guy.

I am 68 with diabetes and ED. I wanted the opportunity to once again have a satisfactory sex life. My Urologist offered me pills, injections, rubber bands and pumps. Nothing worked. My last option seemed to be a Penal Implant but my Urologist didn't offer the procedure. He highly recommended Dr. Schwartzwald. Obviously, I was concerned about the procedure and did research on line. As with any surgery, not everyone is happy with the results. After consulting with Dr. Schwartzwald I felt reasonably confident that I was making a sound decision going forward with the Implant. It has now been 5 months since the Implant and I am a true believer. The first week was not exactly a picnic, but after 2 weeks, everyday showed improvement. I can only speak for myself (and my 65 year old girlfriend) that the end result has been absolutely positive. Lastly, I was concerned about a potentially high co-pay. Other than a $200 co-pay to the hospital, it was all covered by Medicare. Perfect. Thanks

I found Dr. Schwartwald earlier this year after suffering a very serious debilitating urinary tract infection that had me hospitalized for the first time since I was a child. Ihad been under the constant care of another urologist who simply treated me for infection every time another one occurred. My former physician did not listen to me and acted as if these infections were to be just part of my life.After my hospitalization and three months of intense rehab, I was referred to Dr. Schwarzwold. I found him to be very knowledgeable and very much up-to-date on medications and techniques. suffice it to say that for the first time in ten years, i am experiencing urological health. I really appreciate his calm and friendly demeanor and his ability and willingness to communicate. s very quickly. His practice is very well managed and his staff is highly qualified. very efficient and pleasant. He is an exceptional physician. I feel fortunate to have him treating me.

Worst Urologist Office ever! The place is dirty, unsanitary ( particularly the rest rooms and the way urine samples are collected). Front desk staff are like prison guards hiding behind glass doors, barking orders, illustrating zero compassion. It's like going to the DMV. I had a cystoscopy which was very painful and administered uncomfortably. The only reason I gave 2 stars as opposed to one is that the Doc himself is a decent man but the overall operation is awful. Very unpleasant experience after multiple visits.

Save yourself the trip with this guy, the only thing he cares about is what's in your wallet. A 5 minute WebMD search would have been free and much more helpful. He actually found a way to make my symptoms worse! Made zero effort to correct the situation.

Worst Dr experience, with ANY Dr EVER! My 94 year old parents visited Dr Schwartzwald as father was just released from the hospital for a urinary infection. He had a Foley Catheter that need to be removed, he needed the infection tested and he needed instructions to go forward. I asked my Mother to call me when the Dr has seen my Dad and ask if he would get on the phone and explain the situation to me. He replied, " I don't have time for that", walked out gave no instructions.

Being the age of 24 going to a urologist wasn't exactly something I wanted to do but I am so glad I was referred to Dr. Swartzwald and his staff. I saw him last year for an issue that every doctor said was uncommon and unheard of. Turns out the issue was common and dr Swartzwald helped me! Today i saw his PA Derek, nothing shy of amazing and very smart solved my issue that again ER doctors couldn't figure out. Took time with me and made me feel reassured. Extremely thorough! Thank you so much
