Dr Schwartz saved my life in April. I can’t thank him enough for what he did for me.

If you read my earlier comments about the staff that is why I gave the scores I did everyone except some of the staff when I was moved to tower 5 were great. The entire surgical staff and ICU team are great, but some of the staff when I was moved to tower 5 like I said did not seem very interested in serving the patient.
