Meredith Schweitzer's Online Review Report Card

I am so incredibly disappointed with Dr. Schweitzer. I showed up for an appointment and was told that I had been dismissed for too many cancelations. One of the reschedules were due to weather, her nurse asked if I could change my appointment time to later in the day and I informed her that I could as long as I could.make it safely out of my neighborhood. So I rescheduled for the following week. I received a call that I needed to have a biopsy performed at St Thomas and unfortunately it fell on the same date as my physical so I called to reschedule and explained why. When I showed up to my appointment, I was told that I had been dismissed as a client. No call to let me know before I drove to Antioch from Lebanon. I am truly hurt by the lack of empathy from someone that has been my provider for years. If you are searching for a patient, dependable, empathetic doctor, look elsewhere.

Excellent doctor. Easy to speak with. Listens and explains things well. I highly recommend.

Dr Schweitzer is an excellent physician. She takes the time to listen carefully, explains everything in plain English and takes the time to let you ask questions.

Very happy I found Dr. Schweitzer and her team.I am not someone who likes going to the doctor. I’ve convinced myself to ignore most issues for years, decades even. Which, in turn, has snowballed into a boatload of issues that seemed overwhelming. Frankly, I had been too embarrassed to go to the doctor because of the amount of issues I needed to address.They made me feel like I was heard and that I was in the right place to take care of all the issues I’d been neglecting to take care of. Positive experience from walking through the front door. I’ve never felt more thoroughly cared for and happy with the plan of action moving forward.If you’re in a similar situation, it’s not too late to get to work on becoming healthier. No better time than now and no better person than Dr. Schweitzer.

I saw Dr. Schweitzer for the last three years, I thought she was concerned about my health until I got sick off some medication she had prescribed for me. I made an emergency appointment to see her today, but I was turned away as if I was a dog because I had a balance. I was told I was cancelled, the doctor no longer wanted to see me, I asked why I wasn't notified and I was told by the manager that nurse Brittany forgot to call me. I don't recommend a doctor who care more about money then her patients.

Dr was professional and efficient. The two nurses that helped me were top notch. The lady that drew my blood was friendly and did her job well. The facility is very clean, nice & comfortable. The receptionist was horrible. She was sharp, maintained a flat affect & made me feel very uncomfortable.

I am writing this review in hopes that it helps another patient make an informed decision on medical care. After being a patient of Dr. Schweitzer for approximately 3 years I realized recently that I needed to seek healthcare elsewhere. Dr. Schweitzer is all about prescribing medicine and referring to other specialists. She requires that you make multiple appointments to address each and every concern, i.e I had a schedule appointment for Diabetes follow-up and was having abdominal pain or muscle pain and she would not address those needs but have you make another appointment, consistently. For 3 years I put up with feeling like a standard form with boxes that were being checked and I put up with it because I didn't want the drama of having to find another primary care provider. But recently she advised me to start taking BP medicine despite my pressure being in the normal range with the exception of one visit.(1 visit) I was confused and after taking one and having my pressure drop so low I stopped.She performed an EKG that she said was abnormal and referred me to a cardiologist for a stress test (that the cardiologist refused to do because after reviewing the EKG taken is Dr. Schweitzer's office and another performed at the hospital he was baffled on why I had been referred to him). The nursing staff, who took the time before my visit with them to review my records, was baffled by the BP Rx on record. I did explain that I was not compliant in that respect.On each visit with Dr. Schweitzer, she appeared to not know anything about me until at least five to ten minutes into each appointment while she kept her face in her laptop reviewing my history for the majority of the time.I made the decision to return to a previous Primary Care Physician who had moved to Hermitage (at the time I thought it was too much of an inconvenience to travel that distance, I now realize reassurance, and having confidence in your PC at my age is with worth a 40 minute car ride). I called to cancel the upcoming appointment with Dr. Schweitzer and asked the nurse what was needed from me to have my records transferred. Two days later I get a certified letter stating that essentially I was fired as her patient, lol, she was withdrawing as my physician due to non-compliance. What? I realized that I was lucky that I did not have any serious health issues while under the care of this DO and I caution anyone considering her to know their health, because she wont.

I always enjoy visiting Dr. Schweitzer's office. She takes excellent care of me. Her and her staff are compassionate and kind. I am very happy with Dr. Schweitzer as my Primary Care Provider.

She is terrible and dangerous. I asked her for diet information sent me on my way with few slips of paper with food that was harmful. Told me I was doing great then sent me to a specialist because my organ was declining when she never even let me know I had issues with any of my organs. When you need a refill you have to come in so she can sit with you for 10 minutes and go over your labs that they called you about months ago.I had a bad case of menstrual pain. It was heavy and caused so much discomfort. She wouldn't even write me a note so that I could use the bathroom at work. Says a lot about her morals and the job I used to work for. It may be lack of education, a busy schedule, or not treating black women with care, but she is the worst doctor I have ever had.

Recently saw Dr. Schweitzer for annual check-up. She is the best. Very kind and attentive, and easy to work with on my health goals. Highly recommend to other women who need a safe space and expert support.
