Patient Reviews
Jun 12, 2024
Dr. Schwab took time to explain the procedure before scheduling surgery. On the day of surgery, he explained once more what to expect before the anesthesiologist did his thing. He followed up with a call to inquire of my wellbeing during post-op recovery. During the follow-up visit he once again took time to explain in detail what had been done, how my recovery should proceed and how to heal quickly. He is a truly caring MD. He practices the principles that he enunciates in his excellent video. I would seek him out in a flash if ever I needed surgery again in his field.
