I am a 74 year old lady who enjoys the gift of good health but avoids going to the doctor. until I absolutely have to! And that is exactly how I found Dr. Schwartz! I did some research on the Doctor and found that his reputation and experience was known throughout the area. I was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes requiring surgery. My experience with the staff and surgical unit put me at ease during a very scary time in my life.
Just the thought of surgery on my eyes scared the living daylights out of me. But my experience with the medical group led me to giving the techs, the nurses, and Dr. Schwartz their new titles of "My Eye Angels". and I am so grateful that they are here for me.

Dude, there is this one older white woman with glasses and a long face who is the rudest person I have ever met! I was a new patient trying to make an appointment and she was asking so many unnecessary questions and talking like she knew it all and as if I was wasting her time. I asked for a date and she game me one 3 months away, when I called again there was another woman who was so sweet and gave me one a few weeks away. That first lady was so rude and so disrespectful. I wish I got her name. Only went here because I needed a new prescription and contacts quickly. The staff is mostly nice

Great place! They did a fantastic job on my glasses. I needed the initial pair adjusted - the manager, John, was a tremendous help making the precise adjustments and now my new pair of glasses are perfect! And of course my eye doctor, Dr. Gladnik, is so helpful and friendly. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough!

My husband went here for his cataract surgery and I was so pleased that they had a strict mask policy for Covid. Dr. O'Connor was wonderful and his two operations were successful. He had also seen Dr. Nowinski for his Graves disease and he was very competent as well. I cannot say enough good things about this practice. All the nurses and the staff were very nice.
