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.

Excellent dr !!!

He will not return your messages or calls. I was seen here through emergency at Southern California when I had Medi-Cal. I suppose I was not famous enough for him to return my messages regardiing a doctors note for my personal California bar application. I had just graduated from law school and was dealing with a health emergency. I simply needed a short note explaining that I needed a refund for the application because I was sick. He returned NONE of my calls and once he heard I was a Medi-Cal patient who saw him at Southern California through emergency (despite the fact that he is on the Board of Directors for that hospital) and not his privte practice, he refused to answer my messages unless I booked another appointment through his private practice. He seems to mainly be concerned with high-profile TV appearances and advancing his career. If you are looking for a doctor who cares about their patients on a genuine level and is communicative as well as responsive, steer clear.

Never heard of Dr Ernst von schwarz before today. Had an appt with him today post e.r. cedars Sinai. Post discharge. I was very, very impressed with Dr. Dchwarz because he treated me with respect, answered my questions and I felt as I did many years.ago, in Jerusalem, when our doctors really lived by the hypocratic oath. A very pleasant surprise in a difficult time both personally and the corvid 19 raging here in L.A. the Pandemic unwelcome visitor.

Dr Schwarz has been my favorite cardiologist by far. He has a way of treating me that I feel 100% comfortable and know that I'm in good hands. I can always trust that he is making the right decisions for my personal health. I don't want to imagine not having Dr Schwarz as my cardiologist.

I accompanied my aunt to her appointment recently because she had not been feeling well and she wanted me to translate for her. After we checked her in, we were made aware of there being Spanish speaking staff members more than qualified to do the translating for us. It was really nice to have been able to be with my aunt for moral support and not worry about anything else that wasn't her.

World Class Doctor with A+++ Bedside Manner My father suffers several conditions including heart-failure, Diabetes and initial stages of Alzheimers. After I answered a few questions as care-giver, Dr Schwarz engaged my father as if they had been best of friends for years. I realized he was testing dads cognitive function while genuinely caring for the patient. Dr Schwarz is a World Class Cardiologist with the bedside manner of an old-fashioned Country doctor !!!

Been a patient of Dr Schwarz's for years, he's helped me with various health issues along the way, some serious some not so. He's the best out there in my opinion, a very decent man and one of the most sought after Doctors in LA, even see him on TV these days!
