Dr. Schwartz was amazing when I first spoke with him back in July for my free consultation when I was first diagnosed. We spoke for over an hour and he answered all of my questions! I will be consulting with him again to discuss the results of my second MRI in early January.

6/26/2015 - AN diagnosed by MRI - 14mm x 7mm + 3mm extension

Schwartz is not good.  He is super - excellent.  I honestly cannot think of anyone better for the neurosurgery part of it.  I guarantee if you ask him how many he has done, he will tell you.  My estimate is many hundreds.
Dx 2.6 cm Nov 2012, 35% hearing loss.  Grew to 3.5 cm Oct 2013.  Pre-op total hearing loss, left side tongue numb.  Translab Nov 2013 House Clinic.  Post-op no permanent facial or other issues.  Tongue much improved.  Great result!!

I agree - Dr. Schwartz is a genius! After our phone consult, and meeting him the day before surgery,  I felt 100% confident that he was the guy I wanted to remove my tumor. My surgery report said he had to use a couple different tools, from a couple different angles to get my "sticky tumor" of the facial nerve. However, you would never know, he acted like it was a walk in the park and told my parents that they "hit a home run". I didn't have a single facial or balance issue, and they preserved my hearing! I couldn't recommend Dr. Schwartz and the House Clinic enough!!
Diagnosed Dec 2012: AN 1.4 cm with mild hearing loss and tinnitus. Surgery: Middle Fossa at House with Schwartz/Friedman on April 10, 2013. Entire tumor removed, no facial issues, no balance issues, and they preserved my hearing!! Co-leader of the Washington, DC ANA support group since 2016.
