A rip off.. spent thousands of dollars for treatment of neuropathy. Dr. did stem cells-prolotherapy & a ton of. exams, I received NO results from treatment.The Dr. appeared to have an attitude simply doing business as usual. Atotal waste of money.

I must say I had high hopes for this visit with Dr. Schwartz due to the positive reviews. Now I am wondering if they are fake. This was by far the worst doctors visit I have experienced in 40 years. To begin with when he entered the room he didnt acknowledge my husband (the patient) or myself - instead he walked across the room to a chair and proceeded to look at the chart. While doing so he did speak, apologizing for the inordinate amount of wait time but still not looking at either of us. The visit went downhill from there. Dr. Schwartz was extremely condescending and had obviously prejudged my husband and his case prior to laying eyes or a hand on him. He spoke to us as if all we were looking for were drugs. In fact what we were looking for was someone who cared and was willing to help my husband get relief from the agonizing pain he lives with day in and day out. Dr. Schwartz is not that person. He was rude, didnt explain anything, did not listen to anything said, kept stating they did not deal in opioids etc. even though we never requested any. It seemed to anger Dr. Schwartz that my husband had previously been in pain management and he wanted to take it out on us. He could have cared less nor would he be able to ever help anyone dealing with pain. If you are looking for someone to help you deal with pain or better yet relieve you of pain this guy isnt it. Dr. Schwartz has no tact and no compassion as a doctor.

Rude and judgmental. He made personal remarks about me to me that were unprofessional. If you have been prescribed an opioid pain medication in the past for chronic pain from multiple spine issues and surgeries then he has disdain for you. No compassion and offered no help.He should not be a Doctor.

I read his reviews - after seeing him unfortunately. He takes issues with patients who leave poor reviews as if they may not be real patients. They wrote lengthy specific accounts of their terrible interactions with him. Interestingly, the 5 star reviews from years ago are all short and non-specific its all good type reviews. Makes me wonder if these are the fake reviews.I read the reviews about patients who described having to be in their underwear during and after his exam. I too was made to undress for a limited type neuro exam that did not require absence of all clothes. Then Dr Schwartz proceeded to launch into a discussion of my case and dressing down while I was literally dressed down. It was humiliating. He blamed me for my pain and my choices as if I had any. I was always directed to therapy by a physician - usually my primary one.I have never had a Doctor talk to me the way he did in a demeaning way. He has no business being a Doctor.

Loud music playing. He exposed me while doing test. I asked questions that he has yet to answer. Wanted me to by his wife’s supplements. Awful bedside manner. Red flags everywhere. And I’m a retired LPN.

3years ago I could barely walk due to osteoporosis arthritis lowered back. Saw Dr Schwartz 3 months and I was walking better than I have in 6 years pain still there but very little and tolerable. He’s amazing. When I tried everything else God lead me to him. I was reading online another drs reviews and something drew me to him. I went had an exam and started treatment immediately. Thank god we found him.

I am new to Dr Schwartz office. So far my experience has been very eye opening. He listens to you, talks to you and does a lot of tests to see what is the root cause so he can get that fixed. So far I am extremely impressed with his ethics and professional manner. No long waits for this patient. I appreciate his attention to me an my problems. I am looking forward to feeling better one day.

Ive had the pleasure of being one of Dr Schwartzs patients for about a year now. I was lucky enough to meet him at the CRPS convention in Charlotte. I cant say enough good things about him; Ive been pain free or very minor pain levels after only a couple of treatments and I have been improving ever since. His unique approach to medicine has allowed me to get off ALL prescription medication and live pain free for the most part. If you are suffering from chronic pain in your arms/legs/back, I recommend giving Dr Schwartzs office a call and schedule an appointment. It really only takes 1 great doctor to turn things around! Thank you Dr Schwartz!

The other person with the poor report is telling the truth. I had basically the same experience. Tens of thousands of dollars in unnecessary testing and injections and other treatments that were not needed. In the end, this guy doesnt have any answers, just a lot of testing for a lot of money. His personal beliefs, personal greed, and political beliefs stand above patient care, from my experience. I honestly feel that this man should be shut down for fraud.Within a few weeks of finding a real doctor, I had a short and long term plan for the management of my injury. No doctor is perfect and I would not write a review just because the wait in his office was always hours long.... but that is also true. This guy gets a poor review because I believe that he is a fraud.

Dr. Terzella is the best!! He really connects to his patients, listens to you, and know there path to take. He is above and beyond. Very few times in my life have i come across a really special Doctor..... He is it.

In my opinion, I witnessed Dr. Robert Schwartzs superiority complex and poor quality care to one of his patients. He demonstrated that hes disorganized and doesnt follow the objective of follow-up appointments or patient inquiries. He spent majority of the appointment disengaged as he filled out Obamacare paperwork.In my experience, he showed a lack of professionalism when he haughtily answered simple questions about diagnoses and lab results. For some reason, Dr. Schwartz didnt review his patients test results that were received during the appointment and didnt review the multiple ultrasounds taken in his office. His tight lip attitude and mumbling gave the impression hes not knowledgeable in his specialty and may perceive his patient as incapable to understand the information. His negative disposition and his persistent recommendation for homeopathic injections(without reviewing patients blood work and medical history) has led me to neither trust nor recommend Dr. Robert G. Schwartz.PS It wouldnt be surprising if his medical ethics improve with patients in his racial and/or gender demographics.Overall rating: F

I feel so welcome at Dr. Schwartzs office. From the minute I walk in the door I am greeted by the receptionist and the other staff members are always there to help. Dr. Schwartz spends as much time with me as he can. I really feel like they give 100 percent at this office.

My experience at this office has been great. From the minute i walked in the door until I left. I do not like going to Dr.s however I felt very comfortable here. I do know I need to take my condition little by little but I know I am on the right track with the care given here.

I did not like the way they do not tell you before you get there that there is a 200 dollar new patient fee. then they say they accept bc bs insurance then charge you full price and expect you to get the money from them later. their billing is a scam stay away. on a positive note he did helpme and i got better.

My wife has suffered from fibromyalgia and dystonia for 8 years now. We have finally found effective treatment. In desperation in 2012, however, we visited with Schwartz. He informed my wife, and I kid you not, that the sudden onset of her condition (dystonia, she was already diagnosed with the fibro) was the result of her walking at an early age. Her neural pathways had not fully formed because she did not crawl long enough says Schwartz. While in an examination room my wife had a mild dystonic storm. Her hands would clench and unclench spasmodically. Her fingers would splay and twist as her muscles contracted and seized painfully. (look up dystonia) Schwartz grabbed her fingers and forcibly tried to control them. When I told him that exacerbated it he told me I was an empathetic enabler. He also thought a course of treatment should involve exercises that mimic a baby crawling to, you guessed it, rebuild her neural pathways. Oh yeah, this should be done in bra and underwear in front of him. It was insulting and demeaning. He was like a used car salesman. If we asked a question he would tell us to buy his book and enroll in his online class. If hes helped anyone with any method good, but looking back years later I mostly remember his lack of listening, his seeming lack of caring, and the utter desperation that drove us to give Schwartz a try in the first place. Our experience mirrors the other two one star reviews. Schwartz is a quack in my esteem. A stylized hack and no more. Avoid at all costs.

Review №37

All the reviews are fake. He made them up himself. I had a terrible experience with him. After my bad experience I checked about him online and found out that he is a quack. He is ingnorant, rude and greedy. His only interest is in making money. He runs the same tests again and again in his office. He does injections that are not needed. Stay away, stay away, stay away from this MONSTER
