Mark H Schwartz, MD FACS

Dr Schwartz is one of the most caring and professional physicians I’ve ever encountered. Treated twice for wounds to the hand and once for removal of a growth on the face. His work is impeccable. He went to the office to treat me in an emergency on a Saturday for a serious dog bite.

Dr. Schwartz is a godsend. Words do no justice when trying to describe how incredible he truly is. In addition to doing an impeccable job with my surgery, he is the warmest, most caring doctor I have ever met. Available for you ²⁴⁄₇ and a genius surgeon. He made my dreams come true and I will be forever grateful to Dr Schwartz. I would recommend him to anyone in a heart beat. His team as well are incredible, creating a very safe and friendly environment.

I am a 43-​year-​old Park Slope mom of two girls. I had very large breasts (34 F or G depending) that were downright uncomfortable and sagging. I waited a long time to have a breast reduction mostly out of fear. Dr. Schwartz was so incredibly kind, professional and knowledgeable. I immediately felt at ease the first time we met. He explained what he could (and could not) do, and was very thorough and patient. His office is beautiful and clean. He has a surgical suite there where he performs many procedures, so it was basically like an office visit the day of my reduction. Everything went as planned and I left that day with drains in my breasts. They came out a day or two later which was no big deal. In fact, I was surprised at how pain-​free breast reduction is. I felt a little soreness but compared to having 2 c-​sections I would give it a 2 on the pain scale, if that. Most importantly, the results. I LOVE how my breasts look now. I can find clothes that fit properly, they are lifted nicely, and it has helped me feel better about myself. I do have two scars that are fading. My only regret is that I did not do it sooner. I think when looking for any doctor one wants to make sure that a) she or he has a good bedside manner and b) has experience, dedication, and passion for what s/​he does. Dr. Schwartz is very down-​to-​earth and unpretentious about his nearly two decades of experience. That was a very important factor when I decided to move forward. If I ever want any other work done I would trust him implicitly and recommend him without reservation. I am a former career journalist who is studying to become a nurse, so I have been around the block so to speak, and I know quality when I experience it. Dr. Schwartz genuinely cares about how his patients are doing. I remember he called me the night of the procedure, the next morning, and any email or question I have ever asked has been answered promptly and courteously. He makes what can seem like a daunting process totally manageable.

I went to see Dr. Schwartz regarding my ears because all of my life it’s been a concern and an issue that has highly effected my self-​esteem. I had been thinking about undergoing surgery to correct the protrusion but didn’t really know who to go to or what the best course of action was. Plus, I’m a grad student and finances regarding cosmetic surgery was definitely a concern. A friend of mine went to see him to have her facial cyst removed and he did an awesome job. You could barely see the scar and she mentioned how nice and sweet he was. So, she recommended I see him. After looking online and reading the reviews I was more than pleased to schedule an appt but then last minute I had to cancel due to a family emergency. I called to let them know and requested to reschedule an appt on the spot. They were totally nice, and let me reschedule the appt without a hassle. I finally went in for the consultation and totally loved Dr. Schwartz. He was not at all arrogant like I’ve heard plastic surgeons can be and his staff was also super! He answered all my questions and actually started by asking me what bothered me most about my ears as opposed to assuming. After the consultation I met with the office manager Michelle regarding the transactional aspect of the surgery and she was very nice and upfront about all the details. Lest to say that I decided to go with Dr. Schwartz for my surgery. It was relatively easy, I had it at the office (he has a surgical suite) and the staff again was great. The cost was definitely affordable and not at all extravagant. I never felt rushed or pushed into surgery or for payment. I was thoroughly informed by both Dr. Schwartz and his staff every step of the way regarding everything. I felt I had the best care in the world and most important of all I feel great. My ears looks totally normal and natural. My scars are healing great although still in the healing process. The recovery for the procedure was not difficult (i did have to wear a headband for two weeks) and I felt I had picked the right person. I would recommend Dr. Schwartz in a heartbeat and feel very grateful that I can feel normal and not self-​conscious about my ears anymore.

Mark was recommended for his work with weight loss surgery patients. His work is AMAZING! Not only am I extremely satisfied, but other doctors who have seen how he removed the excess skin around my middle have remarked at such a well done job. One even remarked that the only surgeon who could have done that well a job had died and wanted to know who did it.
Other weight loss patients who have had belt lipectomies looked at mine in awe — much better than theirs — less revealing, lower, etc.
I continue to get compliments on a regular basis and have been able to see the abs I have developed over the years — a first for this 63 year old!
And his office has the best assistance I have ever seen or heard of for getting through the insurance maze — experienced, accurate, honest assessment of whether and how much. BUT you must follow their advice for it to work. I am eternally grateful for this assistance.
