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.

Not a competent physician, would never recommend. Very unprofessional. Rude., medically incorrect, bills for services not rendered.

This physician was so rude and angry at me the last time I saw her for no reason what so ever. She ignored serious concerns I had after I was in the ER two times before I saw her. She dismissed symptoms that turned out to be a serious and chronic disease. If you want actual treatment do not see this person.

I have been going to Dr. Schwartz for two years, and have had nothing but the best of care. She is the most thorough doctor I have ever had. Nothing slips through the cracks. She never forgets what you've shared with her, and she stays closely in touch with her patients. She's great, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Complete confidence in her. She is thorough in her exams and is caring and compassionate. I have been going to her for many years with a mini break due to insurance, but started going back as soon as I was able. I would highly recommend her.

I would and HAVE recommended Dr. Janet Schwartz to my friends. She's so knowledgable and thorough. When I have my annual physical, I leave feeling confident that she did a complete exam and either made recommendations for followups or said not to worry. I NEVER feel like she doesn't have time to answer my questions. I am glad that she is my doctor and I have great confidence in her!
