I think I should have been guided as to what questions I should have asked the doctor when he gave me his diagnosis. I was surprised when the doctor told me that I should just wait for my hemoglobin to drop further before he could give me treatment. [TRANSLATED]

We love Dr Schwabkey, he is so caring and helps my mother understand every aspect of her care. She leaves his office always stating how much she appreciates how he answers her questions with words she understands and explains everything so well. She is 94 years old so its important that she feels heard and she still has a say in her care. Thank you so much for treating her with such kindness and respect it makes her feel safe when in your care.

After he left his nurse assistant answered more questions.In the meantime we had a couple more for the Dr. and he came back in and answered our questions. It was a very good experiance all around.

Dr. Schwabkey is highly educated and knowledgeable in hematology. I am relatively informed due to experience in medical laboratory science, but learned a great deal during our visit. He was able to provide explanations and descriptions that could be easily understood by any lay person. He is personable and exudes a warmth and friendly demeanor. He connects with patients and shows compassion. He is a shining example of an ideal physician.
