Dr. Schwartz is an exceptional endodontist. I recently underwent my second root canal procedure with him, and it was remarkably straightforward. His excellent bedside manner contributed significantly to a smooth experience. Additionally, his staff is outstanding, and his assistant was particularly helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend Dr. Schwartz and his team for anyone seeking quality endodontic care.

My son fell and broke several teeth, Dr. Schwartz got us in right away to evaluate him. He was so calm and his bed side manner was truly refreshing. He had a very thoughtful approach to fixing my son’s teeth taking into account his age and years left of development. The treatment plan is not over yet but my son and I feel 100% confident in Dr. Schwartz’s care and plan.

The office staff were friendly, and the process was easy. My experience with Dr. Schwartz and his staff was fantastic.
