"I have been seeing Dr. Schwartz for many years. He is the BEST! I would not know what to do if I couldn't see him anymore. He is very caring, and considers your entire health. He communicates well. He has guided me through several surgeries and procedures with outstanding results. I can't recommend him highly enough!"

"Dr. Schwartz worked so hard to figure out my gastro-intestinal pain and figure out a care plan to help me get healthier. He listened to my symptoms and took my pain seriously where as other doctors didn’t. He was so fast to respond and help me when I needed it! So grateful for the care Dr. Schwartz has shown!"

"On Friday September 23, 2022 I had a procedure done by Dr. Darren C. Schwartz. The procedure was a colonoscopy. The directions from start to finish were clear & easy to follow. They explained everything to me which put me at ease & comfortable. The procedure took exactly the amount of time they said it would take. There were no surprises & I had no problems at all. Everyone that I came into contact with at the Waldron Endoscopy Center did a wonderful job. I felt well taken cared of. I would definitely recommend Dr. Darren C. Schwartz with any procedure similar the one I had. Robert D. Spoon"

"I have been a patient of Dr. Schwartz's for many years. His goal has always been my well being. He keeps up on all the new treatments with the goal to keep me from having further surgeries. He wants my input, which I greatly appreciate. It feels like we are a team. I so appreciate his compassionate nature. He is a very special doctor and I am so glad he is my doctor!"

"Everything after the prep was great! From the time I checked in with Karen, then meeting the nurses, anesteasiologist, & Dr. Schwartz, prior to the procedure and then waking up in post... Easy, painless & very professional...see y'all in 10!"
"Doc Schwartz always takes reconciliation steps to verify a determined diagnosis even though there was a thought from the other doc who influenced my mother perspective. And that’s why I like him to conduct check and balance the paradigm from other influence. Thank you Doc Schwartz for keeping my mom healthy. 🙏"
"Dr Schwartz and his team are first class. Procedures like this can create a myriad of emotions for different people, but Schwartz and his team put you at ease and if thinkable, make it a good experience."

"Dr. Schwartz and the entire team at WAgi are incredibly attentive, informative, and kind while tending to your needs and concerns with the utmost discretion and care. I would highly recommend this group for your gastrointestinal healthcare needs."
"Lovely office, friendly and professional staff. My questions were answered. I felt comfortable about the procedure I had been putting off for far too long. I wouldn't exactly say I enjoyed it however when it's time for my next one I will choose Dr Schwartz and his staff again."
"I was very pleased with my visit from check-in by Latoya to my nurse Heather. Heather made me feel like I was talking to an old friend when discussing delicate information. The anesthesiologist, Manny was friendly and made me feel confident with his ability. I don't need to explain how important that is for his responsibilities. Dr. Schwartz was knowledgeable and took time before and after my procedure to give expectations and explain the results, as well as give me advice for what would help in the future. They called for the customary follow-up. But there are some offices that don't, so I was very appreciative of that. My procedure was quick, literally painless and my recovery went as they said it would. Overall I was very pleased."
"Great doctors, staff and facility. Everyone is quite kind, compassionate and considerate. If you need this procedure, this is the place to have it done!"
