Joseph Michael Schwab, MD

Dr. Schwab was very attentive. He responded to my questions with provided valuable informative to assist me in making informed decisions about my health care. I did no feel rushed to get me in and out quickly. I am looking forward to working with Dr. Schwab in the near future regarding my orthopedic needs.

needed more time for other issue discussion

everyone was super kind to me...

Dr. Schwab and his associate treated me well and showed concern for me.

Very Compassionate and took the time needed to address my health issues. Very nice doctor to deal with.

I really liked this Dr. Schwab. He was very easy to talk to and he would clarify and explain things to me if I asked. I have complete confidence that he will do a great job on my surgery.

Dr. Schwab is an excellent doctor and compassionate, very good at listening and explaining things. Just not happy with staff ( nurse, receptionist when calling with conerns).

He took the time to explain options along with the pros and cons. He listened attentively to what I had to say and gave me plenty of time to ask questions. He didn't question my decision on how I would like to proceed with my care. He did not make me feel rushed. He provided me with vital information in an easy to understand way so I could make an informed decision. He provided take home information to help answer other questions that might arise.

For some reason, this provider avoided doing what any patient expects when seeing a specialist to whom he has been referred for that specialist's consultation, i.e. after analyzing all available data (incl. X-rays and MRI's, notes from Physical Therapy. etc.) and after conducting a thorough physical exam, providing the patient with his assessment and diagnosis, his recommendation(s) for treatment, an understanding of advantages/disadvantages + risks + benefits + things to consider etc of surgical option vs other options, and how best to approach deciding amongst available options - NONE of this was provided. PLUS, this provider could visibly see that his patient was unclear, confused, not understanding, etc and yet (after an extended period of waiting for the provider in the first place) this provider concluded the discussion and sent the patient away. It was the most bizarre, unsettling, frustrating, and unsatisfactory doctor/patient interaction I have ever experienced.

one of the best office visits I've ever had.

it was my first time seeing Joseph Schwab. I was always a patient of Jeffrey Schwab. I couldn't be happier that I am able to see Joseph Schwab. I was very pleased with my first visit. he was very caring and took his time to make sure all my needs and questions were answered.

Hx of care for another family member.

Care in day if appointment was excellent, though Dr was 35 minutes late. Follow-up is extremely disappointing. It has been 10 days since appointment, and still no one has contacted me about surgery date. I was told they would "reach out to me". How long does this take? I need to make plans. I need to know surgery date. Staff needs to do a better job on "reaching out with surgery date" Very disappointing.

Very thorough, respectful, timely and approachable.

Everything about my preparation for hip surgery has been excellent. information is invaluable and all staff have been extremely helpful, reassuring, and approachable. I have nothing but positive feelings about my care.

Dr Schwab is EXCELLENT. Answered all my questions and explained my upcoming procedure to my complete satisfaction. Very personable and caring. So glad I was referred to him. Everyone we encountered at this facility was friendly and helpful.

He apologized for running late, he explained things very clearly and had a very pleasant personality.

always accessible for concerns and addressing what I need. listens to you and hears what you are saying. Knows my history without me reintroducing information

Everyone was very professional and friendly

10 excellent care in this stressful situation.

Good.

He was to the point about your medical problem & explain everything so I could understand it.

I was very displease.

Everyone was encountered was excellent very pleased we were referred here.

Not the provider, however when I made the appointment I was told the would get the needed x-rays & MRI I just had by another provider however when I came to my appointment they had not gotten the x-rays or called to tell me so I had to have additional x-rays which I can't afford in order to see the provider. I was very disappointed with his staff's communication.

the doctor never seems rushed. He always takes as much time as needed to discuss any concerns.

*Dr. Schwab's relaxed but very informative bedside manner made me very comfortable and at ease while asking questions about my condition and long term care options.

Provider was especially compassionate and professional reassured me about surgical process.

very compassionate and attentive listener, very reassuring, willing to accommodate my requests

Dr. Schwab and his team provided excellent care. They are always courteous, respect and professional. Dr. Schwab always spends whatever time is necessary during your visits and you never feel rushed. My communication with Dr. Schwab and his team is always through MyChart or Health Loop which both work very well and his staff always responds in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Dr. Schwab and his team to others looking for a hip replacement.

I was running late for my appointment due to an accident on the freeway. I phoned the office to let them know and they were still able to see me. Dr. Schwab took time with the exam and explanation of options for treatment. I really appreciated that he could still see me even though I arrived late.

in the wait room there was a man loudly arguing on the phone profanely. not anyone's fault but made me want to leave
