- CCCelal CevikMar 3, 20252.0I found Dr. Laura's care to be beneficial. However, the front desk staff's behavior was unprofessional. I strongly recommend keeping detailed records of all payments, as their system is unreliable. I received a bill months later for a payment I'd already made. Since they only accept cash or check, proving cash payments is particularly challenging.
- JMjoshua mathisDec 3, 20242.0Review of Dr. Schwartz's Office Dr. Schwartz provides exemplary care, and her professionalism and dedication to her patients are commendable. She has been an excellent provider for my 91-year-old grandmother, who has unique and challenging needs. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for her office staff. On two separate occasions, my grandmother was turned away due to being approximately 20 minutes late. While I understand the importance of adhering to schedules, these instances occurred under exceptional circumstances: once due to heavy traffic and another during poor weather conditions. Despite these factors, the staff showed no flexibility or compassion, even considering my grandmother's advanced age and mobility challenges. The receptionist, in particular, was dismissive and disrespectful during these interactions. When I tried to follow up by phone to relay a message to Dr. Schwartz, the receptionist outright refused to pass along my request, further exacerbating the frustration. This lack of courtesy and understanding is unacceptable, especially in a medical practice serving elderly patients. While Dr. Schwartz's care is outstanding, I strongly urge her to address the behavior of her office staff. Patients, especially those like my grandmother, deserve not only excellent medical care but also respect and support from all levels of the practice.
- CPCarolyn PhinneyMay 22, 20235.0Laura Schwartz is outstanding. Fabulous foot care, orthotics saved me, finally beat nail fungus for more than two years with no return. Sweet, smart, gentle younger woman. UCLA MD.
- TCTyler ConeMay 6, 20225.0I was extremely impressed with Dr Schwartz's practice. He is exceptional at what he does & is also a very good communicator & listener. I am grateful to have been referred to him. Thank you Dr Schwartz!
- LSLarry SuterJul 30, 20175.0Terrific experience with Dr Schwarz over the past year. He listens and is one of the most skilled physicians I have ever met. I consulted other physicians who all recommended his practice so I felt confident having him work on me. Post op follow up was amazing. My expectations were exceeded and to this day I recommend him to friends and family. Thank you Dr Schwarz. Larry
