Schwartz Laser Eye Center

When trying to figure out where to have my laser eye surgery in Phoenix, I came across two places that came with high recommendations. Upon calling both, I found that I immediately felt comfortable with the staff at Schwartz. As a hopeful future pilot for the military, it is needless to say that I was willing to pay a little more to make sure I found the best. I had always expected to pay between $4-5k for my procedure, which I expected to be no bells and whistles plain PRK. When I went in for my initial evaluation, I was surprised when Dr. Scwartz sat down with me and went over my options. I eventually opted for a top of the line custom PRK surgery, still below what I had envisioned for a price tag. I am still just a few days out from the surgery and my eyes are recovering, but I felt very prepared for what was to come and I am very glad I trusted my eyes to Dr. Schwartz. I would and will be recommending him to my friends in the military or otherwise looking to have laser vision correction. Pros: Friendly personal staff, professionalism, efficiency Cons: none so far more

I signed up solely because the 1 star review annoyed me and I wanted to give my take on Schwartz Laser Eye Center. I went there a year ago, never had issues with waiting, consulted with some severely intelligent staff as well as Dr. Schwartz, reviewed my options, picked IOLs (implanted lenses), got the surgery a month later, and now have ridiculously clear vision (20/15). Dr. Schwartz is the opposite of high pressure. I've never had a doctor shoot that straight with me about options and he never made me feel like his limited time was limited. As well, I felt 100% confident that he was a pro at what he did and I got a top notch surgery. My eyes are two of my five favorite organs and I wasn't messing around when I researched surgeons. more

I don't know what happened with the other person that reviewed Dr. Schwartz's office, but my experience was nothing short of fantastic! The staff was very friendly and really knew their stuff. I was very impressed with the doctors and assistants, and how personable and professional they were. I'm not sure if the previous reviewer has ever visited a doctor's office before in her entire life, but I know when I go, I EXPECT a bit of a wait. Honestly, the wait is not that bad. The sign of a good doctor's office is one where the doctors and assistants take their time with each patient and make sure things are done right. These are, after all, our EYES we're talking about. This isn't a fast food restaurant! And the front desk staff told me my eyes would be dilated when I scheduled the appointment. In fact, every year I've had my eyes dilated. Any good eye doctor would do so... not JUST if you have diabetes. \r Maybe you should THINK and know the facts before you complain. Dr. Schwartz wouldn't have the reputation he does without excellent service and patient care. \r I HIGHLY recommend Schwartz Laser Eye Center for your next eye exam!!! Don't let one bitter old lady that can't follow instructions and doesn't know a thing about patient care persuade you to go to some hack eye surgeon that will get you in and out like a McDonald's drive-thru! Pros: everything Cons: nothing more

This is the worst experience I have ever had at an eye doctor!!! I am new to the Phoenix area so I looked on my insurance and called an eye doctor on the list. I have worn contacts for 15 years and have had several doctors, but have never had an awful experience like this. Let me give you the laundry list of what is wrong with the Schwartz Laser Eye Center. Pros: Nothing Cons: Long Wait, No respect for people's time, Feeling like just another patient more
