Dr Schweitzer and his staff are wonderful. We consider him our Primary Care Doctor and feel very lucky to be in his care. Very knowledgeable yet compassionate and caring. Would recommend him to anyone.

Ive been coming to MLMC for many years, Dr. Schweitzer takes great care of his patients including my family and children. We also see one of his PAs, Jenna, she is wonderful with my kids as well. Always a pleasure dealing with the front staff and check out. However, at our last visit, I was in with one of my children and was being seen myself and was taken back by Jenna who took our information and our vitals - which I thought was strange as usually a MA does the initial intake, it was first thing in the morning around 815, maybe the rest of the staff was unavailable, it was nice to not have

Dr Schweitzer is a Very knowledgeable, patient, and caring professional. He took the time today to carefully explain a condition I was very stressed over.
Myself, my husband, and my two grown kids generally go here for yearly well visits as well as sick visits. I love the flexibility of not having to schedule ahead and just going when its convenient. We are also very Comfortable with his physician assistant Jenna as well as Isabel. Im a RN so I tend to be extra picky!

I was very impressed with the ease of getting in to see the doctor. Almost no wait time. While waiting, Lola took my blood and I've never had blood drawn so fast, easy and painless. They did more tests while I was there than in the time it's taken just to WAIT to see another doctor in the past. Highly recommend!

Have been a patient for 3 years. After getting my initial blood work results, Dr. Schweitzer called me and went through the results and answered all my questions. Must have taken 15 minutes. This practise is amazing and hands on. I highly recommend.
