I had a problem with ankle pain after a hike. This is the same ankle where I had ganglion cyst several years ago that was only diagnosed after extensive testing. I made the appointment and did the RICE therapy. After 3 - 4 days the pain was gone. I went to my appointment with Dr. Schweitzer to see if my cyst problem would recur. The office visit started with nurse reviewing my medical history. Then a resident came in to ask specifics of the injury and did a preliminary exam. I had a few x-rays.

As others have noted, he is not a great physician: doesn't listen to patients, is condescending and dismissive of their concerns. These concerns date back to 2017. I had the same experience as others have shared. He was extremely condescending and rude. I asked him if PT would address instability of my ankle.

Horrible physician. He missed a fracture of my heel bone for over a month and had me walking/limping on it. He thought I was "overreacting" until I had an MRI ordered. He needs to go back to medical school and learn a few things, including listening to his patients. I would never recommend him.
Very degrading and horrible bedside manner. Will talk down to you.
Don't let his youthful appearance fool you. Dr. Schweizer is as knowledgeable and caring as they come. I had to lose my leg and he took the time to discuss my options and the possible outcomes, not just post-surgery but lifetime. He made sure I was ready and prepared and sure I was making the right decision. I'm sure my excellent recovery is due to his skill in the operating room as well as bedside. Mike Gurkin
