8/6/11 5 5 5 5 Dr. Schwartzberg is wonderful. She took the time to really listen to my wants and needs. She and her staff were super organized and on the ball. I am very happy with my surgical site. I hope to never have to use her services again, but would go back to her in a second.

6/10/11 5 5 5 5 I cannot say one bad thing about Dr. Schwartzberg, she was great! She is compassionate, knowledgable, and comforting. She held my hand as I went to sleep for an extensive surgery and was holding my hand when I woke up in the recovery room. I truly believe if it wasn't for her, her partners and staff I may have died. Even a bad broken leg couldn't keep her down. She is confident about my diagnosis and that I am cured. I will always be grateful for the care I received. I would highly recommend her! Thank you so very much!!

5/9/11 5 5 5 5 Dr Schwartzberg was the first Dr I saw when I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.I was diagnosed at age 45. She was the most sincere,reassuring Dr I had ever met. She told me I was going to beat the cancer and the caring in her eyes made me believe it. In a field where bedside manner is now all but unheard of, Dr Schwartzberg has the lions share. 4 years later I am still in remission and doing wonderfully the credit goes to God for working through Dr Scwartzberg to help me through the toughest challenge of my life. She really is the best surgeon I've ever met.

11/12/10 4 3 5 5 Very loving surgeon. She held my hand as they were preparing me for my surgery. The only downside is she is tough to get in to see.

6/16/10 5 4 5 5 I love this doctor. She did my mastectomy in 2009 and did a great job. She's very warm and smart and answers questions thoroughly. After interviewing several docs and not feeling comfortable, I felt so relieved when I met her. She does good work and cares about her patients. She'll follow you as long as you want afterwards. And she makes great referrals to plastic surgeons and oncologists.

3/11/10 4 2 5 5 Dr. Schwartzberg performed several breast surgeries on me, and each time I was pleased with the attention I received. Her staff is great, they may not know the answers to everything, but they make sure to get them for me. Dr. Schwartzberg is a very kind doctor. I have referred several friends and family members to her practice.

8/20/09 1 1 1 1 Extremely Incompetent medical assistant running the show over there! Schwartzberg is highly defensive when confronted with concerns of her untrained medical assistant. Waste of time. Not worth the mental or physical stress.

5/4/09 3 5 5 5 Dr. Schwartzberg was excellent. She was conservitive about my breast cancer. Which is how I believe. (A different Dr. wanted to do a double mastectomy without a second thought). I was going to wait and see what happened, and Dr. Schwartzberg said she'd be there by my side no matter what decision I made. I finally got a lumpectomy and all is good. Would recommend her in a second! Thanks Dr. Schwartzberg. You're GREAT!

11/12/08 2 2 1 1 Dr. Schwartzberg is a well known Denver surgeon who attracts patients by her reputation but not her skills. Sloppy attention to detail, defensive, and covers up mistakes with miscommunication.
