I got my cataract surgery done more than a year a go.. Dr. Schwartz insisted on a lens implant.. this procedure costed me more than $7,000. I paid with my Insurance and paid out of pocket more than $5K this was just for one eye.. a year later my eye is still foggy people can see a difference in my eye looks weird.. after a year they still try to send me a bill for $35.. I called the office they were trying to explain that I still owed them for office visits.. which to me its not right.. while I was in his office I noticed he treated patients like numbers.. just seemed seemed like didn't care about how we feel after paying so much and not being comfortable with the results. I would definitely not recommend his office for cataract / laser or anything. SD
