:) Click to report rating *  3/16/10 5 5 5 I have fibromyalgia and regularly attend the SC Fibromyalgia Meetings, which are lead by Dr. Schwartz. After going a few times i decided i would go see Dr. Schwartz and see what he could do for me. He is one of the most knowledgeable doctors i have ever met when it comes to fibromyalgia. Ever since i started seeing him i have felt infinitely better. I recommend him to anyone who suffers from fibromyalgia.

:( Click to report rating    3/8/10 3 1 1 This doctor told me on my first visit to stop taking my pain medicine that I had been on for 5 years. He said he would provide me with something as needed. When my meds ran out that week he gave me medicine that had NO effect at all. Would not give me what I had been taking because he considered them a "street drug." This guy is so out of touch with people it is amazing. Very rude and smug. Has pictures of himself in every room. He WILL NOT listen to anything you have to say. Ran a list of tests and at the end said there was nothing he could do for me. He lied during a deposition about what was affecting me and how I was treated medically by him. I do trust nor recommend him to ANYONE! I saw more than one person get upset after seeing him after they left his office. This guy is as nuts as they come.

:( Click to report rating    11/21/09 5 1 1 Tests, tests, tests, tests, tests. Never does ANYTHING to help. Injections made me worse. Kept testing, testing, testing. Always tells you just to go on his website. Tried to take me off meds my TRUSTED doc put me on - that were working! Wouldn't give me ANYTHING for pain. A total jerk.

:) Click to report rating    6/27/09 5 5 5 Dr. Schwartz has been treating me for the past 6 months for Fibromyalgia. He has helped me alot in dealing with my discomfort/pain as well as introducing me to the Fibromyalgia group in the area. After reading some of the posts earlier i strongly disagree with their ratings on this Dr. He has always been courtious. I am also quite happy he has helped me get off the pain drugs other Dr's have prescribed.

:( Click to report rating    5/20/09 1 1 1 He is very unfriendly and has no bedside manners. Will not explain what is wrong with you in language you understand. He says read his web site for questions you ask him. He will go over and over what drugs another doctor (that has known you for years and you trust). He wants you to come off of them when that is not a wise choice for your condition that he does not know anything about. I do not recommend him at all. He is way to expensive and won't talk to you.

:( Click to report rating    5/10/09 1 1 1 useless doctor, wanted to do numerous tests, EMG/NCV and asked his wife to sell me unwanted vitamines. More interested in how much he can suck out of my insurance, never returned to see him after the first visit. Stay away from this man. Most of the postings here are hyped by his agents.

:) Click to report rating    4/24/09 5 5 5 I have rsd/crps. There are very few doctors who know how to treat this, so I travel to see Dr Schwartz. He has helped me tremendously. Before I saw him I was stuck on narcotics and was told I would have to have more surgery. I am now off all narcotics and feel the best I have in years. I have my life back again. Seeing Dr. Schwartz has been well worth it .

:) Click to report rating    2/22/09 5 5 5 I am blessed that i have met Dr. Schwartz. I have been diagnosed with fibromyaltia from another Dr. and all they wanted to do is treat me with pain pills. Dr. Schwartz has examined me thoroughly and with his kind and compationate patience he has helped me get through my pain. I am off all narcotics and feeling great.

:) Click to report rating    2/21/09 5 5 5 I have been hurting for almost 5 years now and no one has been able to help me. Dr. Schwartz was the first doctor that treated my pain and found the root of the problem rather than just treat my symptoms. Ever since seeing him i have felt great!

:( Click to report rating    2/11/09 3 3 1 Terrible terrible. Went for pain in both knees. 2.5hor drive each way. Did test for the first 3 months with no actual treatment. I believe he was milking the insurance and wasting my time. Zero help and pushed nutritional products his wife sells. When he finally treated with prolo therapy, would only give one injection per knee per visit. What a joke.

:( Click to report rating    2/5/09 1 1 1 Have been to this dr twice. my primary complaint is/was knee pain. He seems to want to focus on my neck. He's only ordered a battery of tests, doesn't answer my questions fully, has done NOTHING about the pain I came to see him for except to recommend heat rub & epsom salts baths. And of course ordered more tests. Not going back and wouldn't recommend him for pain management. At least not if you have knee problems.

:(      8/14/08 4 2 1 Dr. was to perform an independent medical exam for my insurance company. Appt should have lasted 1.5 hours. He spent approx 10 minutes with me, was combative when asked questions, he checked my reflexes and asked minimal ?'s no further exam. Not a thorough anything and charged my insurance company $600 for. Abrupt, cold, and rude person. He offered no ideas or suggestions for helping me. He didn't even ask me what was wrong.

:| Click to report rating    4/20/08 5 4 1 This doctor runs a batterey of tests, seems to know his stuff but can only offer injections that did NOT help my pain while costing me a small fortune. He is not open to any treatment except injections and gets defensive if you try to explain that you'd like an alternative treatment. If you don't won't injections, I say don't waste your time with him.

:) Click to report rating    1/3/07 3 5 Dr Schwartz picked up where other doctors failed me. He performed several tests and successfuly treated my back and nerve injuries. He's knowledgeable, committed, and genuinely interested in helping his patients and not in just making a buck. Highly recommend him.

:) Click to report rating    11/16/06 4 5 I traveled many miles seeking answers for my RSD (severe pain from reflex sympathetic dystrophy). I found them by visiting Dr. Schwartz in SC. I am very grateful to him and his terrific staff for the very professional and kind attention. In addition, Dr. Schwartz's wife works as the office Wellness Co-ordinator. She is a great (and free) resource on a host of nutrition related topics. Dr.Schwartz administered the necessary tests and has given me more info and recommendations for treatment in a few days than I have received in more than a year. Dr. Schwartz is the most compassionate, caring doctor i have met. He helped me get my life back.

:) Click to report rating    11/15/06 5 5 i recently visited Dr. Schwartz as a patient. I have been to many doctors regarding my back pain which kept me basically bedridden for several months. They never really found the root of the problem. A friend of mine mentioned she had been to see Dr. Schwartz and had great success. Dr. Schwartz took the time to find out where my pain was coming from. After several visits I am back on my feet& back at work part time. I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz
