Review posted on Google : Dr Schwendet did a fusion for me at L-4, L-5 this past December. A year previous to this a neurosurgeon did a laminectomy in the same area of my spine. After the surgery he told me I would need a fusion then changed his mind a month later to my surprise since I could FEEL my vertebrae in the aforementioned area shifting because of the degradation of the disk between these vertebrae. I really can't speak highly enough about the good doctor and his team. I've made appointments with other specialist on... read more

I have been seeing Dr. Schwender for degenerative spinal issues and scoliosis for about two years now. His careful, methodical approach has been lifesaving in that it has helped me to make careful, informed decisions. In October of 2018 I had a minimally invasive multilevel lumbar decompression surgery with excellent results. This year, when I started having problems with my cervical spine, Dr. Schwender took his time and made certain we had all the information and tests needed so that we could make an informed decision abou... read more

Dr. Schwender is an amazing Spine Surgeon. He listens to you and gives you options. He recommends surgery as a last resort. He is down to earth and has a great sense of humor. He answers your questions in an language that’s easy to understand. I highly recommend him. I feel blessed to have had him for my spine surgery.

Besides his exceptional surgical skills, he didn’t rush a decision on my surgery but advised alternate methods of pain relief until my condition warranted surgical intervention. When the surgical option became necessary, he clearly explained what was needed, how he would proceed and the expected result. His compassion and personal kindness during my entire experience of pre-op, surgery, hospital recovery and follow-up visits were very helpful and encouraging. His staff is also caring and extremely capable. My post-surgery ca... read more

Dr. Schwender is the kind of Dr. who will not operate on you if he knows he can't help to improve your life. This is a quality I fear is in very short supply in the medical world. Everybody is willing to "wait" until they can get into Dr. Schwender - and he is really worth the wait. I had a small bit of spine surgery done by him a little over a year ago and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself in my entire life. I have the utmost respect for Dr. Schwender and his personal ethics

Had one surgery. Something went wrong and had to have another one to fix it. Took about week to get me back in while I was in a lot of nerve pain. So two surgerys and still have same symptoms I came in for.
