Julio F. M. Schwarz's Online Review Report Card

Everything was fine, people were nice and the doctor was very thorough and friendly

I can't believe this. I was scheduled for a heart cath. and possible stint at 6:30 a.m. this morning. I'm out in the middle of an ice storm to get to the hospital only to be told that it has been rescheduled for Feb. 14th. I can't get my nerve stimulator battery replaced until I get clearance from this Dr. I have been thru many heart tests and thousands of dollars later I am still in the same place. I moved here from Richmond, VA. and find out Ft. Smith area is no place to be for proper health care. I am 66 yrs. old and have never been in this situation. My wife and I have to try and get back home in this ice storm now. Can't believe I wasn't even worth a phone call.

Since they have doubled their prices I have moved to a better Dr. I never saw Julio, met him once in 2018 and since have only visited with his practitioners.

Impossible to get a telephone call returned.

Two years we've spent trying to treat or cure my wife's heart palpitations have been wasted. Two years and my wife has seen the doctor ONCE. Mr. Schwarz needs to revisit med school because his practice is a joke in the community. People gather to tell stories about their visits like ghost stories around a campfire. Seek professionalism elsewhere because you will not discover it here.

I have never been treated so unprofessionally by a so-called medical professional in my life! I am a retired medical professional myself and I know that we have days where we just aren t ourselves but you don t walk into a room and totally dismiss the patient tell them that they don t know what is wrong with them or what they re feeling and then schedule them for procedures they don t need. I went to the doctor for a cardiology release for a surgery that I m having. I have never had cardiac issues I ve never had a heart attack I ve never had shortness of breath I ve never had chest pain s or any cardiac related issues. I did have slightly high blood pressure due to chronic pain over five years ago which has been resolved with knee replacement and a spinal stimulator. In fact I was taken off of blood pressure medicine because my blood pressure was falling to a critical lower level. The first words out of this doctor mouth was you have high blood pressure I need to put you on medication. I tried to explain to him that the reason why my blood pressure was elevated at this appointment was because his nurse became argumentative with me when I told her I cannot medically wear a mask because of anxiety I had supplied a letter to them stating that which I was not supposed to be questioned and I was questioned more than once by this individual. Then he refuses to clear me for my surgery and tells me that I need a stress test and an echocardiogram because I had a heart attack. Never said when I had the heart attack and I ve never had another doctor tell me I had a heart attack I ve had EKGs several times over the last five years because of other surgeries I had nobody s ever said anything about a heart attack but this doctor I had a heart attack I need medicine I need more tests I think he s just out for the money he didn t even talk to me he didn t even listen to a word I said he was very condescending he was very dismissive and truthfully after he walked out of the room I sat there in that room in tears because of the very unprofessional hurtful way he spoke to me and I don t cry easily. The five star reviews I don t believe this man cannot get five star reviews and one star reviews unless he s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! If I could give them a zero star I would but I had to at least give them one star to say this. Take my advice if you want good medical care find another cardiologist I m going to.

He is very kind and so are his helpers.

Would not refer. Need to have Echocardiogram and Nuclear Stress Test due to some abnormalities in EKG. The problem is they can’t get me in for four months to have these test done. Not acceptable to me. I have other health issues they are aware of and I need answers on my heart a lot sooner than they can provide. Went to another heart dr in town and I am scheduled for these two test in the next ...

I think he is great, he explained everything to me and answered all of my questions. The past four times that I have visited his office, the waiting times were relatively quick.

They are rude, keep very poor records, and still haven't figured out what is wrong or found a helpful medication after 4 years.
