Stephen E Schwartz DPM

I was referred to Dr. Schwartz by Cedars Sinai Medical Group. He diagnosed my problem right away, numbed my toe, cut out the problem part of the nail and infection and sent me on my way. He has a pleasant bedside manner. The office staff is nice. The wait was a bit long and the office seems a bit technologically behind, Otherwise I would given him 5 stars. But overall a good painless experience. Also, parking is a bit inconvenient as they don’t validate.

went in to remove a corn on my toe. painless and fast! funny bed side manners as well– good guy and excellent doctor

Dr. Schwartz epitomized the stereotypical arrogant doctor. He rushed through my examination, dismissed my case as not his problem and soon left the exam room. I had to chase him in the hall just to find out how to correct the problem with my foot to which he gave me several lifts for my shoe and told me «play around with them.» I’m not a doctor so I don’t know which lift to use. And, my foot is still injured and has no available remedy at this time. He also gave me an incorrect diagnosis which caused me to get a second opinion from a specialist (which I had to pay out of pocket) only to find out that Dr. Schwartz was way off.
I wouldn’t go back to see Dr. Stephen E. Schwartz if my life depended on it. No one needs to be that smug with himself. A doctor, in my book, should treat his patients with respect and patience – they may have some questions that arise during the visit, and rushing out the door without granting them a chance to do so is just rude.

Called about a foot problem (which I thought might be a stress fracture but ended up being plantar fasciitis). The staff was very nice and I was able to get an appointment Dr Schwartz the next day. I barely waited 5 minutes in the waiting room. Everyone was very efficient. X-​rays were taken. I was not sold anything unnecessary (orthotics were mentioned but when I responded that I wasn’t an orthotic fan it wasn’t pushed any further). Dr. Schwartz did not over treat and he was reasonable in listening to my activity level and making recommendations that would help me achieve my goals instead of just saying «No you can’t do that». I am happy to report that my foot is not almost 100% which is amazing given the condition it was an how some friends with the same condition were still having problems six months later.

Awesome DR, super cool super generous !!! Easy to make an appointment never waited more than 10 min in the waiting room which is a Hugh plus !! Thanks Doc !! I will be back !!

Mark Weissman did a great job!
