Patient Reviews
Apr 19, 2016
Talk about old school. Dr. Schwimmer & PA Marc Shaffren are friendly, knowledgeable and always reachable! They have on more than one occasion diagnosed obscure things over the phone just based on symptoms (with confirmation upon physical examination, of course) Doreen & the staff are friendly and treat you with respect and compassion, which is pretty amazing considering the many horrible experiences I've had with other practices (Rude staff & unreachable doctors).
