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.

The Best Hip Surgeon
Dr. Schwechter performed a total right hip replacement in January of this year. I'm doing things I never thought I'd be able to do again and it's only been 3.5 months since surgery! He has given me my life back and more. From the very first visit I knew he was the doctor I wanted to go with; he did not rush into surgery but instead examined every possibility first. It took me over a year to really be ready for this surgery, and once I was I knew I was in good hands. The recovery has been so seamless; my friends are amazed at how fast I am getting back to things. I am a long distance runner and not once did he dissuade me from returning to this. Dr. Schwecter believes in having one's life back to the fullest. *Oh and I love my beautiful scar; he did an incredible job.

3 months ago i had a patella tendon repair, basically reattaching part of my quadricep to my knee. When Dr. Schwechter first examined me i had no control of my right leg. He reassured me he could put me back together, i trusted him and he did. I'm healing beautifully and ahead of schedule and unfortunately I'm back at work ??. Being a 56yrs old active male i wondered if my injury would adversely affect my ability to do the things i enjoy, because of Dr. Evan Schwechter and his wonderful staff it hasn't. They were kind patient knowledgeable and extremely professional. When i thanked him on my final visit he said he'd only done 50%, and the rest was me. I'm gonna give him a full 75% and ?????

Dr. Schwechter recently changed my life by giving me a new hip! I had a terrible car accident in 2018 and despite having a surgery on my hip, I wasn’t able to live a normal life. As a 28 y/o male (who’s always been active) I needed to find a solution, but I was very skeptical when I was recommended to have a total hip replacement at this age. Well, I thought about it for months and to make the story short I wish I had it done sooner!! I’m now able to walk and perform daily activities with absolutely no pain the same way I used to before the accident and I couldn’t be more grateful for what this doctor and his team have done for me throughout this whole process! If you’re looking at these reviews (just like I did) for social proof...I recommend Dr. Schwechter 100%!!

was very thankful and pleased with the outcome of my total knee replacement! Dr. Schwechter, was attentive and thorough in explaining my surgery journey from the beginning to the end. I had my surgery in July 2019, and I am doing well beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Dr. Schwechter.

Dr. Schwecter is professional, personable and extremely capable. His initial exam was very thorough and he quickly accessed the problem. He performed a total hip replacement. The procedure went exactly as he described and recovery has been quicker and easier than anticipated. His work was even complimented by two different third party health professionals. One said he was "really good" at hip replacement. The other said "your doctor did a great job".

As a result of Dr Schwechters gift and expertise, not only the surgery he performed to replace my hip was a complete success, but my recuperation has been quick and continues to be a blessing after only 8 1/2 weeks since my surgery.

I have been in the health care field for over 30 years and know what it takes to be an excellent doctor. Dr. Schwechter is one. He is a wonderful, skilled, caring person and surgeon. He replaced my husband's hip( age 71) a few years ago. We were so pleased with the outcome, I had him replace my hip also in June 2018 and we can dance once again ! We continue to recommend him to others. He is the best !

I am a 64 year old male who recently had a total hip replacement and could not have had a better experience. Dr. Schwechter is a very skilled surgeon and an extremely kind individual. He was a true professional from our first meeting right up to the day of my discharge which was 24 hours after surgery. In my follow up visits with him he continues to show the same.

Dr. Schwechter is an excellent, caring surgeon. He took the time to fully explain my knee surgery and the recovery process. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends who need not only surgery but just regular orthopaedic care.
