Schwartz Mindy Md

I don't rcommend this PN. My first vist with Pn Swartz she was very rude short and made me feel stupid because did'nt remember the doseage and names of all my meds, the meds cause you to have aniexty and her abrutive behavior made me so

Our visit with Dr. Schwartz was our second PN. We were pleased with the time she allotted us with our 5 year old son. However she increased his dosage from 10ccs per day to an overnight 20ccs per day. Then when there was no improvement and we made a phone call she wanted us to increase it to 25ccs per day., then to 35ccs per day (all within 10 days). We refused until we received his ""levels"". We immediately sought out a third PN in Pasadena. When our son was admitted to be reviewed the Pharmacy at Huntington memorial would not fill the prescription for our son. They said that it was an overmedicated dose for his age and weight. And this was at 25ccs per day! What I've learned: if a drug doesn't work, it doesn't work. Dr. Mindy Schwartz failed my son and my family. I would deter any family from visiting her.

Dr Schwartz was my son't Dr. for 2 years. He has thankfully, grown out of his from of Epilepsy. I saw a review that described her as ""Stoic"", I just wanted to say, I found this never to be the case with my son-or myself. She took time to answer questions, make sugestions, etc. When he had a seizure at school & they tried to tell me he HAD to be hospitalized, I called the office, not knowing what to do and they took the time to let me know it was ok to go into the E.R. & tell them I didn't need him to be treated. He wasn't new to seizures & had a DR. They also told me if I had any probs getting him released, to just call & Dr. schwartz would get it straightened out. We just had a very good experience there & never found any staff to be rude. \r

Great Dr. and very friendly staff. Changed the course of my treatment for the better. I had gotten very poor treatment for other Dr.s in the area prior and found her to be excellent. I find her to be a very good listener.

Pros: Seems to understand the state of the art of the disease.

Dr. Schwartz has been the neurolgist and epileptologist for two of our family members. I have found her to be caring and very open to discuss current and alternative therapies. She seems to enjoy the investagative approach.\r
Her staff has been cordial and prompt.

Pros: as stated in review

Cons: Office is far from my house

My first experience with this office was a very abrupt and rude office staff individual who began preaching to me about how I should know exactly all mg of drugs I'm taking (very condescending and berating). She did finally apologize, but I felt visits from that point were adversarial at best. Dr Mindy herself was very stoic and didn't give my case the seriousness and attention I believed needed for some kind of cure. Throughout the many tests that were taken, medical regimes were experimented with to come up with a sollution to a problem that was still between both of us unknown.

Pros: Good reputation, seems very intelligen, some very good staff

Cons: rude receptionist, stoic bedside manner, not dedicated to me
