Testi Dear Dr. Schwartz, Just a little note to say "Thank you" so very much for all the incredible care you have given me. Words cannot even begin to express my deep gratitude.

Testi To the greatest Dr. in the world! How could I ever thank you? Very Sincerely

Testi Dear Dr. Schwartz, I would like to thank you and your staff again for a wonderful experience. You came highly recommended and now I know why. Now I will be the one recommending you to others. I am sure my surgery was not the easiest you have had to perform since it was an implant exchange for 22 year old silicone implants which had probably ruptured at least 10 years ago on both sides, then suffered capsular contracture. I expected the worse, but when I awake after surgery, I could hardly tell it had been done. Two small pieces of transparent tape at the point of incision - No beleeing, no real bandages, no drainage tubes. At the same time, I had some fat grafts done with came out fantastic as well. I now look 100% better. I love the shape of my lips, you erased years from my face, and my stomach is flat for the first time in my life at the age of 54. I consider myself very fortunate and will definitely be back should the need arise in the future. Sincerely

Testi Dr. Schwartz, Thank you for the wonderful new figure you've given me! I am thrilled with the results! You have made this a "great" experience and I will recommend you to everyone I know. Your staff is incredible; me and my husband were really impressed with the service, your nurses & staff and of course "you"! Thank you...

Testi Dear Dr. Schwartz - Just wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with my surgery results. It's been 4 weeks since my surgery and the changes are dramatic! You are truly a "Miracle Worker!" I'll be back into my jeans in no time! Thanks again for your wonderful care & concern - Bernice is amazing too.
