Five stars isn't enough for Dr. Schwartz Aesthetic Institute — exceptional care from start to finish. Dr. Schwartz is highly skilled and clearly cares about natural, refreshed results; the entire staff is professional, welcoming, and attentive. I especially want to mention Martha, NP — she is incredibly sweet, listens closely to your concerns, and always selects the perfect product to achieve a subtle, natural outcome. I left feeling confident and refreshed; I trust this team completely and highly recommend them to anyone seeking expert, tasteful aesthetic care.

Surgery Dr. Schwartz March 11, 2019 Implant exchange Revision Dr. Schwartz October 7, 2019 Revision Dr. Azar May 11, 2020 I had zero confidence in Dr. Schwartz after the first revision didn’t correct the problem In my opinion the reason my breast "bottomed out," after Dr. Schwartz performed the first surgery, is because he opened the pocket up too much. My right breast looked better before Dr. Schwartz performed the first and second surgery and there are pictures to prove that. Dr. Schwartz told me the revision would be an easy fix, he would go in and tighten up the pocket. He said it would be more difficult if we had to open up the pocket to make it larger When I stated my breasts are still so different in shape even after my revision he said, “No one will notice when your wearing a bra” I feel Dr. Schwartz is responsible for disfigurement of my right breast and for that reason I believe he is responsible, at a minimum, for the costs I incurred to have Dr. Azar correct the damage performed by Dr. Michael Schwartz. 2020 I can’t say anything negative about the staff as they were very kind and helpful. I spent most of my time being seen by them, maybe my surgery would have been successful if they performed it. I came to Dr. Schwartz as he was highly recommended in my community, unfortunately my experience was less than satisfactory. Dr. Schwartz performed a breast implant exchange on my 21 year old implants. My right breast needed scar tissue removed and in turn he opened up the pocket more than he should have and I ended up with a breast that bottomed out and was deformed. I was told by Dr. Schwartz that this would be an easy fix but I would have to wait 6 months before I could have the revision surgery. I had the revision surgery and when I went in for my 4 week post op I said to Dr. Schwartz, “My breast doesn’t look any different”, he reassured me that it still needs time to heal and take shape. I was thinking I can’t imagine that the healing process is going to raise my breast up. Dr. Schwartz also said, “No one will notice when you’re wearing a bra” . So I just spent $12k so my deformed breast won’t be noticeable while wearing a bra. COVID happened, the office closed and I never heard from anyone. I sought out a professional plastic surgeon and had my 3rd surgery. So grateful I found a plastic surgeon who was able to perform a successful surgery and my breast even looks great without wearing a bra. Unfortunately I’ve paid out $27k thanks to Dr. Schwartz and his lack of expertise.

The doctor is great but this review is regarding the front desk staff. While sitting in the waiting room for a consult, not only were the front desk girl rude and short with me. They were shouting across the room to each other talking poorly about Dr.!!!! As a business owner myself I would like to know how the front desk staff represents the reputation of a well known doc in the area. I was horrified to hear these things being said in front of me. Doc, get all new front desk girls. They are all hurting your business and your pristine reputation

Dr. Schwartz and his team are the BEST!!!!! I did my breast with Dr. Schwartz and they are better than I could have ever imagined. Dr. Schwartz is a true artist and not only that but made me feel so comfortable through everything. Stephanie, his nurse also was there and made everything so much more easier and fun for me with her friendly personality and professionalism. Also Brenda, his nurse, was so helpful to me and caring. I am so grateful I found this office and was able to get amazing work done. Thank you so much Dr. Schwartz and his amazing staff!

Dr. Michael Schwartz and the team at the Schwartz Aesthetic institute is world class. The office is clean, sleek, and modern, and what’s even better is the staff that fills it who are hands down the best of the best in the business. Dr. Schwartz is as honest as they come and would not dare to recommend superfluous or unnecessary procedures. You can trust that you are receiving top notch care, steady hands, and honest guidance as it comes to your aesthetic goals. There are many absolutely incredible women ensuring that the operation is running smoothly from the front of the house to the back of the house and will make you feel right at home from the get go. I cannot speak highly enough specifically about Stephanie and Brenda who help make the experience enjoyable, relaxing, and easy. The attention to detail that everyone has is impeccable, and extremely reassuring when it comes to something as personal & delicate as plastic surgery. I could go on and on about how much I love this place and the people that fill it, it really is so different and so much better than any other office of this kind that I have ever been to. Schedule an appointment to see why people from all over the world seek out Dr. Schwartz & his team, you will not regret it!
