Paul S Schwartz, DPM

Over all my experience at Dr Schwartz office was good, he is a very caring and intelligent foot doctor! On the down side the front desk ladies did not seem very friendly. Better customer service would be highly appreciated!

My husband said his actual visit with Dr. Schwartz was excellent. The doctor listened and provided solutions. The rest of our experience – not so good. This office does not accept credit or debit cards. This is no big deal for regular visits, but for orthotics services that aren’t covered by insurance, this is a big problem.
I spent far too much time trying to work with the office staff in either getting a bill or statement that I could submit to FSA for payment directly to the doctor. Ok, so you won’t take a card, you refuse to issue a statement for the amount owed so I CAN pay you on or before service date, yet payment is due immediately upon services rendered? Strange. On top of all that, they required signature on some sketchy «contract» that seemed to be drawn up in MS Word. The silly thing wasn’t on the doctor’s letterhead or even have his name printed on it for goodness sake. Honestly, you can draw this up and require signature, but you can’t draft me a document stating that «the full amount of $X will be due on XX date when services are rendered» so I can submit it to my FSA?
We got an appointment with another doctor whose office said, «of course we take cards, everything is plastic these days».

Dr. Paul Schwartz DPM is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and kind. I came to him with a long history, file, x-​rays, and pain. He methodically went through all of my records and got back to me with a complete picture of what I am facing. His diagnosis pieces together all of my procedures and ensuing chronic issues. Without seeing him, I would still be in the dark about why I have continuous problems. I have seen many doctors this summer but Dr. Schwartz is by far the most cohesive and thorough doctor. I have 100% confidence in his diagnosis and prescriptive recommendations. You would be in great hands to see him.

I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Paul Schwartz, DPM. He is a very knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, & a very competent physician. I recently had an Achilles debridement, calcaneal exostosis with speed bridge surgery. Prior to the surgery, we had tried conservative methods that failed. Dr. Schwartz thoroughly explained the entire procedure, as well as what to expect post surgery. He spends the time he needs with each patient to care for them & answer our questions. Post surgery, Dr. Schwartz is available to you in case of a medication change. He is truly concerned of his patients. I would recommend Dr. Schwartz for any of your podiatry needs!

I called their Office way before Christmas 2011 and was promised a return call from either Dr. Schwartz or the front desk person, and today ½/​2012 no call. I find this somewhat disturbing that they really don’t care.

A few months ago I lost stride jogging, landed hard on my heel, and after a month of pain and not being able to job decided to see a podiatrist. My health insurance listed Dr. Schwartz as one of my nearest DPMs. I am very impressed by Dr. Schwartz, his professionalism, knowledge, and capabilities.
Dr. Schwartz performed a few diagnostic tests, suspected I had a massive heel spur impinging on my Achilles tendon, took a few x-​rays (in his office) to be sure and verified his diagnosis. My only concern at first was that he recommended surgery before orthodics. I’m always reticent to undergo general anesthesia surgery (having had it once in my life and that not being an experience I care to repeat.) However, after researching my condition, I discovered surgery is likely the only way to prevent recurrence, and Dr. Schwartz has the right plan.
In general, Dr. Schwartz strikes me as a very knowledgeable, competent, and friendly doctor. I plan to go back for my heel treatments and have complete faith that they will go well.
Since writing this review, Dr. Schwartz performed my surgical heel spur removal. The operation is called a retrocalcneal heel spur reduction with Achilles tendon suture bridge. When my spur grew to a point of it causing some pain every day just by being there, surgery became the best option.
Dr. Schwartz has performed this surgery since the 1980s, which I liked because it meant he has a long track record with this procedure and I wouldn’t be part of his learning curve. This is also a ‘delicate’ procedure and a mistake could have life-​long ramifications for the patient. I made the right choice having Dr. Schwartz perform the surgery. It went well, he took my care and recovery VERY seriously, and I’m looking forward to a full recovery and regaining pain-​free use of my foot.
