This is the 4th or 5th time I've been at the Fishers office and it appears to be understaffed in the front, there are always lines of people waiting for a significant period of time to check in or check out.

I love the care that Dr Schwartz takes with me. He explained everything to me and what to expect. He also understood that I was having some deficits and in pain. He helped me up to the table which was much appreciated. He told me to call him if I need anything. I always let Dr Schwartz handle my spinal needs.
