I've had a good experience with Dr Schwabkey over the past 5 months.
Dr. Schwabkey was very engaging regarding my health and how to proceed with the treatment. I am very grateful for that.
professional-forthright but with a human and empathetic touch-as good as it gets
Excellent Doctor, very thorough and knowledgeable.
A provider who listens, explains and cares about his patients AND takes the time to make sure we understand the directions for medications
Top shelf and I was impressed with him and will talk very highly of him
No one comes to Huntsman just for fun. I wanted to get treated with honesty and respect for my concerns and feelings. That is exactly what I received.
Dr Schwabkey is very knowledgeable and kind. I feel very confident with him on my health care journey!
Great staff
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.
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.
He was good .
Very knowledgeable and explained things clearly
very competent, very professional, went over and explained what I needed to know
Dr. Schwabkey is very good. He is quite professional, a good listener and includes the patient in course of treatment. My wife and I like him a lot and are happy with the care he is providing.
He was genuinely happy about the results of the medication working as it should.
This was my first visit with Dr Schwabkey and I was so impressed with the care and concern he had for me as a new patient. He was so thorough and explained things in a way I could understand. He let me ask questions and answered them so I could understand fully about my diagnosis.
Dr. Schwabkey is an excellent doctor.
He was proactive regarding my care and took steps to help me feel better.
Knowledgable, considerate,
Dr. Schwabkey came to us shook hands personally and told us about the test results in understandable words and phrases. He asked us if we had any questions and answered them to our satisfaction. 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. Thanks
Easy talk to and explains things so I can understand
Very caring and put me at ease by taking his time to get to know me.
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]
Dr. Schwabkey was very thorough and patient, and took time to explain things in a way I could understand. He was also very thorough in answering all questions that I had.
Dr. Schwabkey was amazing.
